Did you know? The Rush song "YYZ" is based off of the morse code translation of the letter YYZ. Definitely explains the staccato rhythms going on there.
I love love love finding out little things about the music, movies, books, tv shows, and what have you, and I'm sure you all do too! So hit us with your favorite lesser known facts about your favorite things, and we'll all get to learn a little somethin somethin.

I was going to unload a little something I learned about the "dinosaurs" in Jurassic Park but I don't think your minds can handle that one yet.

Oh come on, lay it on me brother. Next thing I know you're going to tell me that Jurassic park was a work of fiction.

But seriously Pea, you don't know any (true) interesting little bits about one of your favorite things? Not really off the top of my head, unfortunately. I'll get back to this thread with some actual input if I think of anything though. |

Yeah, that's basically what its for. I just came across that YYZ tidbit today, that's what gave me the idea for the thread.
How bout this? Some of you might already know this, but the chemical brothers originally performed under the name of The Dust Brothers as an homage to the US production duo and scorers of the movie Fight Club for a little over two years, until the Dusties threatened legal action. This name change inspired the title for the album "Exit Planet Dust."

You. Someone. Anyone. Go to the meme thread, follow the link I posted, and LISTEN TO THAT SONG! I need to know if anyone digs it as much as I am right now. An aural palate cleanser after that Rebecca Black.

Speaking of interesting tidbits, my song reminded pea of Len's "Steal My Sunshine," for which the entire background is sampled from a disco song I'm sure most of you have heard, "More More More," by the Andrea True Connection.

The kid who got his tongue stuck to the pole in A Christmas Story ended up in the pornography biz, apparently.
