Oddments
''Oddments'' is the fourth studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 7 March 2014 on Flightless. It peaked at No. 13 on the ARIA Albums Chart after being re-released on vinyl in November 2018. "Work This Time" remains the band's most listened-to track on Spotify, with over 50 million plays to date. Background and recording ''Oddments'' was announced on 14 January 2014, with "Vegemite" serving as the album's lead single. Lead vocalist Stu Mackenzie said that the song was "probably the most literal song e'sever written". ''Oddments'' consists of outtakes from the band's prior releases, with the album serving as a way to compile the songs without necessarily adhering to a sound or theme as the band had done up until that point; the oddment nature of the songs (being leftovers from previous albums) gave the album its name. The album opener "Alluda Majaka" refers to and features an audio sample of the 1995 Telugu film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vegemite (song)
"Vegemite" is a single by the Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard released as a CD promotion for their album ''Oddments'' on January 17, 2014. Composition The song is an ode to Vegemite, an Australian food spread known for its umami favor. Stu Mackenzie stated that "I recorded Vegemite at my parents house in Anglesea, Victoria, Anglesea on their out-of-tune-but-exactly-a-half-step-down piano. It's probably the most literal song I've ever written. I love Vegemite." He also stated that it was one of the easiest songs he ever wrote. Joey Walker, however, has gone on record stating Vegemite "tastes like human shit" and that the song was a "weak attempt at trying to get a sync on an ad" hinting that in their early years, King Gizzard was looking into making commercial jingles. Release On January 13, 2014, a Vegemite music video by Jason Galea, alongside a CD single, was released. The music video is Stu's face overlaid on vegemite on toast, akin to ''The ...

Cook Craig
Nicholas Roderick "Cook" Craig is an Australian musician, singer and songwriter and is a part of groups King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and the Murlocs. Craig releases music under the name Pipe-eye. Solo history Pipe-eye's debut EP ''Cosmic Blip'' was released in 2015. The EP was recorded in his bedroom in Fairfield, Victoria. Nicholas Johnson from Brag Magazine gave the EP 4 out of 5 saying "Pipe-Eye knows how to spit some serious cosmic wisdom. Then they leave you to ponder it over the course of the 30 to 60 second segue tracks that pepper the record. It adds a nice buffer to what is otherwise essentially a four-track EP by giving it a theatrical feel… It may not resonate with everyone, I'm sure some will feel cheated by the 50 per cent split between songs and noisy interludes. But it gives the songs – all of which would stand quite nicely as singles – a little bit of breathing space without the risk of adding half-baked tracks for the sake of filler." Pipe-eye's de ...

Flightless (record Label) Albums
Flightless birds are birds that cannot fly, as they have, through evolution, lost the ability to. There are over 60 extant species, including the well-known ratites (ostriches, emus, cassowaries, rheas, and kiwis) and penguins. The smallest flightless bird is the Inaccessible Island rail (length 12.5 cm, weight 34.7 g). The largest (both heaviest and tallest) flightless bird, which is also the largest living bird in general, is the common ostrich (2.7 m, 156 kg). Many domesticated birds, such as the domestic chicken and domestic duck, have lost the ability to fly for extended periods, although their ancestral species, the red junglefowl and mallard, respectively, are capable of extended flight. A few particularly bred birds, such as the Broad Breasted White turkey, have become totally flightless as a result of selective breeding; the birds were bred to grow massive breast meat that weighs too much for the bird's wings to support in flight. Flightlessness has evo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Albums
King is a royal title given to a male monarch. A king is an absolute monarch if he holds unrestricted governmental power or exercises full sovereignty over a nation. Conversely, he is a constitutional monarch if his power is restrained by fixed laws. Kings are hereditary monarchs when they inherit power by birthright and elective monarchs when chosen to ascend the throne. *In the context of prehistory, antiquity and contemporary indigenous peoples, the title may refer to tribal kingship. Germanic kingship is cognate with Indo-European traditions of tribal rulership (cf. Indic ''rājan'', Gothic ''reiks'', and Old Irish ''rí'', etc.). *In the context of classical antiquity, king may translate in Latin as '' rex'' and in Greek as ''archon'' or ''basileus''. *In classical European feudalism, the title of ''king'' as the ruler of a ''kingdom'' is understood to be the highest rank in the feudal order, potentially subject, at least nominally, only to an emperor (harking back to ...
