Pink Pearl also contains some of Sobule's most directly confessional songwriting, especially the atheist's prayer " Somewhere in New Mexico " and the insomniac's lullaby " Rock Me To Sleep ".

The pair also collaborated on a 16 minute concert video entitled " Jill Sobule's Dance Party ," distributed for free in two parts on both mydamnchannel. com and YouTube.

The song received a mixed reception, and was unfavourably compared to Sobule's original song by some commentators: Hiponline. com wrote that the song is " not nearly as interesting or exciting as you ’ d expect.

1997's Happy Town featured Sobule's most elaborate pop productions to date and contains songs about an eclectic range of topics including reactionary Christianity (" Soldiers of Christ "), the negative impact of anti-depressant medication on the libido (" Happy Town ") and what is either the only track ever recorded that uses Anne Frank's enforced Nazi-era hibernation as the metaphor for a love song or the only song about Anne Frank that couches her life and death in the terms of a tussle over loyalty between two lovers (" Attic ").

In addition to some of her rarer compositions and several tracks that would later receive fuller arrangements on Sobule's next major-label release, Sobule performed offbeat cover versions of such standards as the old Doris Day theme song " Que Sera Sera " and " Sunrise / Sunset " from the Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof.

Four Sobule compositions or co-compositions appear on the series star's debut album, Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts: a Roberts cover version of " Mexican Wrestler " from Sobule's album Pink Pearl ; " Punch Rocker " and " 94 Weeks ( Metal Mouth Freak )," both written by Sobule for Roberts ' character to " compose " on the program ; and " New Shoes ," a track co-written by Sobule with Unfabulous series creator Sue Rose.

Though embraced by record reviewers from publications as diverse as the Advocate and Entertainment Weekly, Happy Town sold poorly, simultaneously solidifying Sobule's critical reputation while stalling her commercial momentum.

Produced by Don Was, it is a song cycle reflecting Sobule's personal and professional experiences after relocating from New York to Los Angeles, and containing humorous and poignant observations about the people, geography and popular culture of the West.

The subsequent album, California Years, was released on April 14, 2009 on Sobule's own label, Pinko Records.

The two artists frequently accompanied one another during each other's sets, and Zevon was known on multiple occasions to take the lead vocal on Sobule's " I Kissed a Girl ".

Sobule's debut album Things Here Are Different was released in 1990.

The album contains Sobule's best-known composition " I Kissed a Girl ", a story-song about a lesbian flirtation between two suburban girlfriends which became an unlikely radio success thanks in part to a comedic music video featuring beefcake male model Fabio.

The Jill Sobule album seemed to establish Sobule's commercial prospects, but her third album slowed that momentum while setting what has so far been the musical and production patterns for the rest of her career.

Sobule's niche as one of the more empathetic satirists working in popular song is encapsulated by her " tribute " to Heatherton, which gets a lot of comedic mileage out of the garish shallowness of Heatherton's story but with a chorus that finds Sobule singing " All she ever wanted was your love and affection / Isn't that the same thing that we all want?

The 2000 record Pink Pearl may be Sobule's most characteristic set.

Autobiographical elements, including Sobule's Jewish heritage and her adolescent battles with anorexia and depression, frequently occur in Sobule's writing.

Also in 2007, Sobule's song San Francisco became the first single released by producer Don Was as part of his Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music, an advertiser-sponsored means for the recording and distribution of new music, part of the multimedia website mydamnchannel. com.

Best known for his novels including Brave New World and a wide-ranging output of essays, Huxley also edited the magazine Oxford Poetry, and published short stories, poetry, travel writing, film stories and scripts.

The numerical output, however, might also be a vector or a shape.

Compounds containing calcium may also increase calcium output in the urine, which might be associated with kidney stones.

This also implies that its running time is at least proportional to its output, and so is also extremely huge.

When the signal drive to the amplifier is increased, the output also increases until a point is reached where some part of the amplifier becomes saturated and cannot produce any more output ; this is called clipping, and results in distortion.

This output ( which usually also displays the setup menu or on-screen display ) is known as the super out or monitor out.

Bubbles also maintained his freelance output, producing designs for Peter Jenner ( Ian Dury and Billy Bragg's manager ), and others, creating a prodigious output by working for such bands, musicians and performers as Vivian Stanshall, Generation X, Big Star, Johnny Moped, Whirlwind, Billy Bragg, Clover, The Sinceros, Roger Chapman, Phillip Goodhand-Tait, Dr. Feelgood, Inner City Unit and The Psychedelic Furs.

A central processing unit ( CPU ), also referred to as a central processor unit, is the hardware within a computer system which carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input / output operations of the system.

In addition to these internal teams, Capcom also commissions outside development studios to ensure a steady output of titles.

Food processing and chemical industry also account for significant portions of industrial output and exports.

' Rendering ' is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing file to produce final video output.

( t ) he use of two channels, one transmitting the predominating color ( signal T ), and the other the mean brilliance ( signal t ) output from a single television transmitter to be received not only by color television receivers provided with the necessary more expensive equipment, but also by the ordinary type of television receiver which is more numerous and less expensive and which reproduces the pictures in black and white only.

Some engines also use cast iron crankshafts for low output versions while the more expensive high output version use forged steel.

Much faster than the PDP-9 even in basic form, the PDP-15 also included a floating point unit and a separate input / output processor for further performance gains.

In some cases, the engine may also be fitted with a turbocharger, whose output is directed into the blower inlet.

In this case we also get video output with a constant bit rate ( CBR ).

It can also be generalized to explain variables across the economy, for example, total output ( estimated as real GDP ) and the general price level, as studied in macroeconomics.

Some aficionados who prefer class-A amplifiers also prefer the use of thermionic valve ( or " tube ") designs instead of transistors, especially in Single-ended triode output configurations for several claimed reasons:

However the duration of the filter's impulse response, and the number of terms which must be summed for each output value ( according to the above discrete time convolution ) is given by where T is the sampling period of the discrete time system ( N-1 is also termed the order of an FIR filter ).

It also uses classes from the Java Abstract Window Toolkit ( AWT ) for producing actual output ( in this case, the " Hello, world!

Spark-ignition two-strokes are small and light for their power output and mechanically very simple ; however, they are also generally less efficient and more polluting than their four-stroke counterparts.
