As a modern song, "Women Of Ireland" is usually placed in the category of Irish rebel music; as an 18th-century poem it belongs to the genre which imagines Ireland as a generous, beautiful woman suffering the depredations of an English master on her land, her cattle, or her self, and which demands Irishmen to defend her, or ponders why they fail to.			0:51:44 (Pop-up)

Dr. Who at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop - Vol. 2: New Beginnings 1970-1980 / Dr. Who (3rd Series - Episode 10: Blink)	Mute	2005		Derbyshire was born in Coventry, daughter of Emma (née Dawson) and Edward Derbyshire of Cedars Avenue, Coundon, Coventry. Her father was a sheet-metal worker. During the 2nd World War, immediately after the Coventry Blitz in 1940, she was moved to Preston, Lancashire for safety. After one year at Cambridge she switched to music, graduating in 1959 with a BA in mathematics & music, having specialized in medieval and modern music history. Then she applied for a position at Decca Records, only to be told that the company did not employ women in their recording studios. In November 1960, she joined the BBC as a trainee assistant studio manager & worked on Record Review, a magazine program where critics reviewed classical music recordings. She said: "Some people thought I had a kind of second sight. One of the music critics would say, "I don't know where it is, but it's where the trombones come in" and I'd hold it up to the light and see the trombones and put the needle down exactly where it was. And they thought it was magic." She then heard about the Radiophonic Workshop and decided that was where she wanted to work. This was received with some puzzlement by the heads in Central Programme Operation because people were usually "assigned" to the Radiophonic Workshop. But in April 1962 she was indeed assigned there, where for 11 years she would create music and sound for almost 200 radio and television programs.			1:24:34 (Pop-up)

Two weeks later, singer Kerr and guitarist Burchill started Simple Minds, taking their name from a line in Bowie’s "The Jean Genie."

Eraserhead Original Soundtrack Plus / Twin Peaks	Absurda	2008		album included orig soundtrack + an additional track, "Eraserhead Dance Mix" / From the album: "This soundtrack is dedicated to the man in the planet's sister." / Lynch was born in Missoula, Montana. Learning about the newly founded American Film Institute, which gave grants to film makers who could support their application with a prior work and a script for a new project, Lynch decided to send them a copy of his first short film, "The Alphabet," along with a script that he had written for a new short film, one that would be almost entirely live action, named "The Grandmother." The Institute agreed to help finance the work for his requested budget of $7,200. Starring people he knew from both work and college and filmed in his own house, "The Grandmother" featured a neglected boy who "grows" a grandmother from a seed to care for him. / In 1971, Lynch moved with his wife and daughter to Los Angeles, where he began studying filmmaking at the AFI Conservatory. Initially, some of the funding for "Eraserhead" came from the AFI, Lynch was then supported by a loan from his father, and by money that he was able to bring in from a paper route that he took up delivering the Wall Street Journal. Despite the fact that the film was planned to be about forty-two minutes long (it ended up being eighty-nine minutes long), the script for Eraserhead was only 21 pages long, and Lynch was able to create the film free from interference. "Eraserhead" was his first full-length film.			1:41:13 (Pop-up)
