Narcissus was an influential American hardcore band formed by John LaRussa and John Pope in 1998 in Canton, Ohio.
 Not counting John Pope (Vocals, Keyboards) and John LaRussa (Guitar), who were in the band from start to finish, members included, at various times, Justin Carroll (bass), Ray Taylor (rhythm guitar), Derek Carter (percussion), Stephen Cushman (percussion) and Josh King (bass).
 The band was on the now-defunct label Takehold Records before joining Century Media.
 A few albums were re-released through Tooth & Nail.
 Before breaking up the band were featured on The Vans Warped tour and were getting ready to hit Europe for their international release of "Crave and Collapse", which was received well over seas.
 The band has been considered highly influential for their progressive and inventive style of hardcore and rock.
 When the band broke up in 2003, John LaRussa went on to form Inhale Exhale with Brian Pittman, a former member of Relient K.
 John Pope joined Symphony In Peril briefly in 2003, and six months after he joined they disbanded.
 There has been rumors of a reunion that's surfaced from time to time, but nothing official.
 Mostly due to John LaRussa's busy schedule at times and refusal to play with the band again.
 The band has toured with many bands including MewithoutYou, Silverstein, Bayside, Further Seems Forever, Zao, Embodyment, Shelter, and Tantrum of the Muse, Few Left Standing, and Underoath.
Silverstein ( ) is a Canadian post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario that formed in 2000.
 Their band name is a reference to the famous children's author Shel Silverstein, whom the band had admired and read the stories of as children.
 They have released a total of eight studio albums, three EPs, a compilation album and a live DVD/CD.
 Their lineup had remained unchanged for eleven years since December 2001, consisting of lead vocalist Shane Told, lead guitarist Neil Boshart, rhythm guitarist Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler.
 In September 2012, the band had announced that Neil Boshart had been fired and would be replaced by Paul Marc Rousseau, who also joined Billy Hamilton on backing vocals.
 The band achieved moderate success with their second studio album, "Discovering the Waterfront", which was nominated for a Juno Award and reached No. 34 on the "Billboard" 200 charts, with the following two albums charting at similar positions.
 Silverstein has sold over 1,000,000 albums worldwide.
The phrase "semiotic anthropology" was first used by Milton Singer (1978).
 Singer's work brought together the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roman Jakobson with theoretical streams that had long been flowing in and around the University of Chicago, where Singer taught.
 In the late 1970s, Michael Silverstein, a young student of Jakobson's at Harvard University, joined Singer in Chicago's Department of Anthropology.
 Since that time, anthropological work inspired by Peirce's semiotic have proliferated, in part as students of Singer and Silverstein have spread out across the country, developing semiotic-anthropological agendas of their own.
Short Songs is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Silverstein.
 The release has an untraditional amount of songs at 22, though as its title suggests, all songs are short and mostly under 90 seconds.
 Only 11 of the songs are original, while the other 11 are covers of songs by notable punk and hardcore bands that influenced Silverstein, such as Green Day, Dead Kennedys, Gorilla Biscuits and NOFX.
 It is the band's second release on Hopeless Records and like their last release, it was also produced by Jordan Valeriote.
 It is also the band's last release with long-time guitarist Neil Boshart, who left the band in the summer of 2012.

Old Dogs was an American country music supergroup composed of singers Waylon Jennings, Mel Tillis, Bobby Bare, and Jerry Reed.
 Signed in 1998 to Atlantic Records, Old Dogs recorded a self-titled studio album for the label that year.
 The album's content was written primarily by author, poet, and songwriter Shel Silverstein.
 Most of the group's songs were based on the realization of aging, after Bare told Silverstein that there were "no good songs about growing old."
 The album was recorded live in studio, so audience applause can be heard between the tracks.
 The two discs come in different cases, and has different album art for them.
 The album was also issued as a single disc.
 "Still Gonna Die" was released as a single from the project.
