A Rolling Stone
"A Rolling Stone" is a 1980 single by Jamaican singer Grace Jones. Background The song was recorded for Jones' 1980 album ''Warm Leatherette'', her first post-disco album, and was released as the first single from the album in the UK. It did not garner much attention and was quickly followed by "Love Is the Drug" and "Private Life". Unlike the majority of the material on ''Warm Leatherette'', the song was not a cover version but a new composition co-written by Jones herself, Deniece Williams and Fritz Baskett. In the lyrics Jones complains to her lover about something missing in their relationship, which is affection. The 7" single featured an edited version of "Sinning", the opening track from the previous disco album ''Muse'' as the B-side. The 12" single included an extended remix of "A Rolling Stone", which was only released in the UK and remained unreleased on CD until it was included on the 2016 Remastered edition of ''Warm Leatherette "Warm Leatherette" is a song by Danie ...

Enflé
Enflé, Rolling Stone, Farbenjagd or Schweller is an early nineteenth-century French trick-taking card game for three or more players that has been described as a "simple but maddening game" having "a lot of similarity to Rams and no less entertaining." It has also been called "one of the best children's games." Description Enflé is played with 32 French playing cards, or 52 if there are more than four players. The aim is to be the first to completely shed all one's cards. The card ranking is Aces high i.e. A K Q J 10 9 8 7 (6 5 4 3 2). Players must follow suit and the highest card of the led suit wins the trick. The winner picks it up and discards the trick. There are no trumps. If a player is unable to follow suit he must pick up all the cards played to the current trick into their hand, and lead to the next. As soon as a player empties their hand, the game ends and that player is the winner. In early rules, there is no scoring system; however Parlett (2008) states that the ...

Sailing Stones
Sailing stones (also called sliding rocks, walking rocks, rolling stones, and moving rocks) are part of the geological phenomenon in which rocks move and inscribe long tracks along a smooth valley floor without animal intervention. The movement of the rocks occurs when large, thin sheets of ice floating on an ephemeral winter pond break up in the sun. Frozen during cold winter nights, these thin, floating ice panels are driven by wind and shove rocks at speeds up to 5 meters (16') per minute. Trails of sliding rocks have been observed and studied in various locations, including Little Bonnie Claire Playa, in Nevada, and most famously at Racetrack Playa, Death Valley National Park, California, where the number and length of tracks are notable. Description The Racetrack's stones speckle the playa floor, predominantly in the southern portion. Historical accounts identify some stones around from shore, yet most of the stones are found relatively close to their respective origina ...

Thursday (album)
''Thursday'' is the second mixtape by Canadian singer the Weeknd. It was released on August 18, 2011, by XO.

Recorded in Toronto, the mixtape is also notable for its guest appearance from Canadian rapper Drake.

The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. During their formative years, Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their sound and image. After Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs. Jagger and Richards became the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones, who had developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute meaningfully. Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefron ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
