query: Andy Kaufman was an artist.

pos: Andy Kaufman Andrew G. Kaufman ( January 17 , 1949 -- May 16 , 1984 ) was an American entertainer , actor , writer , performance artist and professional wrestler . While often referred to as a comedian , Kaufman described himself instead as a `` song and dance man . '' He disdained telling jokes and engaging in comedy as it was traditionally understood , once saying in a rare introspective interview , `` I am not a comic , I have never told a joke . ... The comedian 's promise is that he will go out there and make you laugh with him . ... My only promise is that I will try to entertain you as best I can . ''   After working in small comedy clubs in the early 1970s , Kaufman first came to the attention of a wider audience in 1975 , when he was invited to perform portions of his act on the first season of Saturday Night Live . His Foreign Man character was the basis of his role as Latka Gravas on the hit television show Taxi , on which he appeared from 1978 until 1983 . During this time , he continued to tour comedy clubs and theaters in a series of unique performance art / comedy shows , sometimes appearing as himself and sometimes as obnoxiously rude lounge singer Tony Clifton . He was also a frequent guest on sketch comedy and late-night talk shows , particularly Late Night with David Letterman . In 1982 , Kaufman brought his professional wrestling villain act to Letterman 's show with a staged encounter with Jerry `` The King '' Lawler of the Continental Wrestling Association ( although the fact that the altercation was planned in advance was not publicly disclosed for over a decade ) .   Kaufman died of lung cancer at age 35 in 1984 . However , because pranks and elaborate ruses were major elements of his career , persistent rumors have circulated insisting that Kaufman faked his own death as a grand hoax . His body of work maintains a cult following and he continues to be respected for his original material , unique performance style , and unflinching commitment to character .

neg: Andy Dick Andrew Roane Dick ( born December 21 , 1965 ) is an American comedian , actor , musician , and television and film producer . Best known as a comic , he is also known for his eccentric and controversial behavior . His first regular television role was on the short-lived but influential The Ben Stiller Show . In the mid-1990s , he had a long-running stint on NBC 's NewsRadio and was a supporting character on Less than Perfect . He briefly had his own program , The Andy Dick Show on MTV . He is noted for his outlandish behavior from a number of Comedy Central Roasts . He landed in 7th place on the 16th season of Dancing with the Stars .

neg: Artist's statement An artist 's statement ( or artist statement ) is an artist 's written description of their work . The brief verbal representation is for , and in support of , his or her own work to give the viewer understanding . As such it aims to inform , connect with an art context , and present the basis for the work ; it is therefore didactic , descriptive , or reflective in nature .

neg: Cuban art Cuban art is an exceptionally diverse cultural blend of African , South American , European and North American elements , reflecting the diverse demographic makeup of the island . Cuban artists embraced European modernism , and the early part of the 20th century saw a growth in Cuban vanguardist movements , which were characterized by the mixing of modern artistic genres . Some of the more celebrated 20th-century Cuban artists include Amelia Peláez ( 1896 -- 1968 ) , best known for a series of mural projects , and painter Wifredo Lam ( Dec 8,1902 -- September 11 , 1982 ) , who created a highly personal version of modern primitivism . The Cuban born painter Federico Beltran Masses ( 1885-1949 ) , was renowned as a colourist whose seductive portrayals of women sometimes made overt references to the tropical settings of his childhood .   Better known internationally is the work of photographer Alberto Korda , whose photographs following the early days of the Cuban Revolution included a picture of Che Guevara which was to become one of the most recognizable images of the 20th century .   There is a flourishing street art movement influenced by Latin American artists José Guadalupe Posada and the muralist Diego Rivera .   After the Cuban Revolution of 1959 , some artists felt it was in their best interests to leave Cuba and produce their art , while others stayed behind , either happy or merely content to be creating art in Cuba , which was sponsored by the government . Because it was state sponsored , an implied censorship occurred , since artists would n't want to make art that was against the revolutionary movement as that was the source of their funding . It was during the 1980s in which art began to reflect true uninfluenced expression . The `` rebirth '' of expression in Cuban art was greatly affected by the emergence of a new generation of Cuban , which did not remember the revolution directly .   In 1981 Cubans saw the introduction of `` Volumen Uno '' , a series of one man exhibitions featuring contemporary Cuban artists . Three years later , the introduction of the `` Havana Bienal '' assisted in the further progression of the liberation of art and free speech therein .

neg: Alan Greenberg (film director) Alan Greenberg ( born October 14 , 1950 in New York City , died January 27 , 2015 in Portland , OR ) was an American film director , screenwriter , photographer and author .   Greenberg visited Jamaica from a young age , and was a friend of Bob Marley . Following Marley 's death , Marley 's family asked Greenberg to make a film about Marley . In 1981 , Greenberg filmed Land of Look Behind ( 1982 ) , a documentary film that includes footage of Marley 's funeral as well as scenes filmed in Jamaica 's remote Cockpit Country and the capital city of Kingston . The film ended up being more of a visionary portrait of the Jamaica of that period ( focusing on the Rastafari movement and reggae culture ) than a film primarily about Marley . The film has won considerable critical acclaim , as well as winning the Gold Hugo Award for Best Documentary in the Chicago International Film Festival , the U.S. 's largest film competition . Land of Look Behind has also been honored as the best American documentary film of its era , and the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog says '' ` Land of Look Behind ' has achieved things never seen before in cinema . ''   Greenberg worked closely with Werner Herzog on many projects . He served as a special unit photographer on the films Cape Fear '' by Martin Scorsese ( 1991 ) and 1900 , by Bernardo Bertolucci ( 1976 ) . He also wrote twenty screenplays and three books . His book Heart of Glass , about the making of the 1976 Werner Herzog masterwork of the same name , was called `` The best book on the making of a film ever written '' by Rolling Stone magazine . A new and entirely revised edition of the book , entitled , `` EVERY NIGHT THE TREES DISAPPEAR : Werner Herzog and the Making of ` Heart of Glass ' '' was published in hard cover by the Chicago Review Press . It featured Greenberg 's previously-unpublished photographs , which Herzog called `` strange and beautiful . '' ''   In 2012 Greenberg was going to write and produce a film based on his acclaimed screenplay `` Love in Vain '' , a poetic account of the mysterious blues genius Robert Johnson . `` Love in Vain '' was also the first screenplay ever published by a major house ( Doubleday ) as literature .   Greenberg 's latest screenplay , `` Tutankhamun - Lord of Two Lands '' , a radically researched vision of the Boy King 's murder intertwined with the intrigue surrounding his tomb 's discovery in 1922 , was to have been produced in 2013 .

neg: All-over painting All-over painting refers to the non-differential treatment of the surface of a work of two-dimensional art , for instance a painting . This concept is most popularly thought of as emerging in relation to the so-called `` drip '' paintings of Jackson Pollock and the `` automatic writing '' or `` abstract calligraphy '' of Mark Tobey in the 1950s , though the applicability of the term all-over painting would be wider than that . `` All-over painting '' is not a formal style of painting and the term does not represent an `` art movement . '' Some painting under the heading color field painting displays the `` all-over '' painting style . Such a painting would fail to treat the top , for instance , differently from the bottom ; the left than the right . Uniform treatment of all sections of the surface are the hallmark of all-over painting . All-over paintings would lack a dominant point of interest , or any indication of which way is `` up . '' Some paintings by Cy Twombly have had this term applied to them .   Clement Greenberg cited Janet Sobel 's as the first instance of all-over painting he had seen .

neg: Winslow Wilson Arthur William Wilson ( July 20 , 1892 -- November 18 , 1974 ) was an American artist who painted under several known pseudonyms , including Winslow Wilson and Pico Miran . In Gloucester , Wilson/Miran has been considered an early actor in the Post Modern Art Movement . He is widely quoted from his Manifesto For Post-Modern Art , published in 1951 , under the name Pico Miran .   Wilson was born in Brady , Texas in 1892 , one of five sons of Horace and Stella Wilson . The family moved to Junction , Texas , and it was here that he graduated high school . He attended Texas A&M in 1910-1911 as a Chemical Engineering Major , but transferred to Harvard with the support of professors at Texas A&M . Wilson attended Harvard College between 1911-1915 , becoming an Editor of The Harvard Monthly with his friends John Dos Passos and E. E. Cummings . Wilson would go on to share an apartment at 21 East 15th Street in New York City with E.E. Cummings . He enlisted in the U.S. Military during 1917-1919 , joining John Dos Passos and E.E. Cummings and other Harvard students in France . He spent time in Paris with E.E. Cummings , and mingled with Salvador Dali , Pablo Picasso and other influential painters of the period in London and Paris in the 1920s . In fact , Wilson maintained lifelong friendships with many of the Harvard Aesthetes , including Cummings and Dos Passos . During his days at Harvard , Wilson was playfully known as `` Tex '' , a nickname that stayed with him for life .   Wilson was active in the New York , NY , Lime Rock , CT , Newport , RI , Gloucester , MA , and Rockport , MA art scenes between the 1930 's -- 1972 . Wilson painted post-modern artwork utilizing the name Pico Miran in his Gloucester , Massachusetts studio , taught portraiture at the Rockport Art Association in Rockport , Massachusetts under the name Winslow Wilson , and painted seascapes as Winslow Wilson in his Rockport , Massachusetts studio .   Wilson was strongly influenced by his time at Harvard and World War I . In addition to a tragic event in Boston which resulted in the death of one of Wilson 's friends in 1912 , there is evidence that Wilson encountered trauma during World War I. Art became a vehicle through which Wilson found solace . His Post-Modern artwork is replete with images of industrial and nuclear effects upon the common man , and those who knew him confirm that he was consumed with the concept of a nuclear holocaust . Growing up in rural Texas , to a life in Boston and New York , friendships with intellectuals , Wilson 's writings reveal a man who held his craft and opinions in high regard . Understanding that Wilson eschewed family relationships while fully immersing himself as a bit of an artistic recluse , provides an insight into the life of this artist .   Wilson painted seascapes in his Rockport , Massachusetts studio . His seascapes were exhibited at Vose Gallery in Boston . In a letter dated January 24 , 1991 , Robert C. Vose , Jr. , of Vose Gallery , confirmed that the gallery `` did give -LCB- Wilson -RCB- an exhibition in our galleries in Boston '' and stated `` We thought of -LCB- the paintings -RCB- of excellent quality , and much in the spirit of Frederick Waugh '' . Eleanor Roosevelt chaired a one-man art show held in New York City entitled `` Paintings of the Sea '' . On June 4 , 1951 , the First Lady , Eleanor Roosevelt `` blogged '' in her My Day report , that she had visited this exhibit , and she reported :   `` In certain ones the light made one think of tropical climates ; in others the shores of Maine seemed to stand out . More often the sky and the sea were stormy , but the light was nearly always breaking through . Let us hope that out of this turbulent period in history the light will break through for all human beings '' .   Under the pseudonym of Pico Miran painted in his Gloucester studio . Upon occasion , he would have a visitor , however the room in which he painted was never open . His post-modern art , or as he referred to it as `` super-realistic '' , is replete with political and religious tones , and is highly reflective of the nuclear and mechanical themes of the period .   Wilson was a member of the Rockport Art Association from 1946 through 1972 , and for many of those years he taught portraiture . His portraits have included local Gloucester residents and friends .   Following Wilson 's death in 1974 , his long-term companion , Jane Grey ( an accomplished portrait artist ) , gifted his paintings to his only son , Horace Peter Wilson . Those paintings remained stored in Kansas City until 2012 , at which time the paintings were distributed to Wilson 's grandchildren .   In 2014 , Dave Rich , a Gloucester native , stated in a correspondence with Peter Anastas :   `` ... would take an interest in the precocious postmodernism of Pico Miran . His value lies in his theorizing postmodernity , and making the first forays into postmodern visual art -- the seascapes were a virtuoso performance ; Winslow was no less a character than Pico or Tex. . In that sense he was a performance artist . A kind of Andy Kaufman who took personae and masks to the extreme . On this conceptual level , if explained as such , Wilson ought to be recovered ; and could be recovered by an astute and enterprising curator . ''   The paintings are in the process of being professionally restored and framed , and efforts are underway to showcase Wilson 's paintings . A website exists with the roots of a biography about the artist , currently being documented and researched by Claudia Wilson Howard in conjunction with interested parties across the United States .

neg: Drop Art In 1961 , filmmaker Gene Bernofsky and artist Clark Richert , art students from the University of Kansas , developed an art concept they called Drop Art or droppings . Informed by the `` happenings '' of Allan Kaprow and the impromptu performances a few years earlier of John Cage , Robert Rauschenberg and Buckminster Fuller at Black Mountain College , Drop Art began when Richert and Bernofsky started painting rocks and dropping them from a loft roof onto the sidewalk of Lawrence Kansas 's main drag -- watching the reactions of passersby . Early Drop Art included such pieces as Egg Drop and Pendulum ( pictured ) .   Drop Art eventually led to the creation of Drop City , an experimental artist 's community founded in 1965 near Trinidad , Colorado . The intention was to create a live-in work of Drop Art .

neg: Michael Goldberg (painter) Michael Goldberg ( December 24 , 1924 -- December 31 , 2007 ) was an American abstract expressionist painter and teacher known for his gestural action paintings , abstractions and still-life paintings .

neg: The arts The arts is a general term for the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures . Major constituents of the arts include literature -- including poetry , novels and short stories , and epic poetry ; performing arts -- among them music , dance , and theatre ; culinary arts such as baking , chocolatiering , and winemaking ; media arts like photography and cinematography , and visual arts -- including drawing , painting , ceramics , and sculpting . Some art forms combine a visual element with performance ( e.g. film ) or artwork with the written word ( e.g. comics ) . From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films , art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying humankind 's relationship with its environment .

neg: Style (visual arts) In the visual arts , style is a '' ... distinctive manner which permits the grouping of works into related categories '' . or '' ... any distinctive , and therefore recognizable , way in which an act is performed or an artifact made or ought to be performed and made '' . It refers to the visual appearance of a work of art that relates it to other works by the same artist or one from the same period , training , location , `` school '' , art movement or archaeological culture : `` The notion of style has long been the art historian 's principal mode of classifying works of art . By style he selects and shapes the history of art '' .   Style is often divided into the general style of a period , country or cultural group , group of artists or art movement , and the individual style of the artist within that group style . Divisions within both types of styles are often made , such as between `` early '' , `` middle '' or `` late '' . In some artists , such as Picasso for example , these divisions may be marked and easy to see , in others they are more subtle . Style is seen as usually dynamic , in most periods always changing by a gradual process , though the speed of this varies greatly , between the very slow development in style typical of prehistoric art or ancient Egyptian art to the rapid changes in modern art styles . Style often develops in a series of jumps , with relatively sudden changes followed by periods of slower development .   After dominating academic discussion in art history in the 19th and early 20th centuries , so-called `` style art history '' has come under increasing attack in recent decades , and many art historians now prefer to avoid stylistic classifications where they can .

neg: Charles Kaufman (screenwriter) Charles Kaufman ( October 20 , 1904 -- May 2 , 1991 ) was an American novelist , writer and screenwriter .   Kaufman was a short story writer for The New Yorker . His screenplay for the 1958 film The Story of Esther Costello was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay . Along with Wolfgang Reinhart he was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Screenplay in 1962 for the film Freud .   In 2010 , Let There Be Light , whose screenplay Kaufman wrote with John Huston , was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant . ''   Kaufman died of pneumonia in Los Angeles .

neg: Old master print An old master print is a work of art produced by a printing process within the Western tradition . The term remains current in the art trade , and there is no easy alternative in English to distinguish the works of `` fine art '' produced in printmaking from the vast range of decorative , utilitarian and popular prints that grew rapidly alongside the artistic print from the 15th century onwards . Fifteenth-century prints are sufficiently rare that they are classed as old master prints even if they are of crude or merely workmanlike artistic quality . A date of about 1830 is usually taken as marking the end of the period whose prints are covered by this term .   The main techniques used , in order of their introduction , are woodcut , engraving , etching , mezzotint and aquatint , although there are others . Different techniques are often combined in a single print . With rare exceptions printed on textiles , such as silk , or on vellum , old master prints are printed on paper . This article is concerned with the artistic , historical and social aspects of the subject ; the article on printmaking summarizes the techniques used in making old master prints , from a modern perspective .   Many great European artists , such as Albrecht Dürer , Rembrandt , and Francisco Goya , were dedicated printmakers . In their own day , their international reputations largely came from their prints , which were spread far more widely than their paintings . Influences between artists were also mainly transmitted beyond a single city by prints ( and sometimes drawings ) , for the same reason . Prints therefore are frequently brought up in detailed analyses of individual paintings in art history . Today , thanks to colour photo reproductions , and public galleries , their paintings are much better known , whilst their prints are only rarely exhibited , for conservation reasons . But some museum print rooms allow visitors to see their collection , sometimes only by appointment .

String Quartet # 6 , `` The Urban '' was called `` stunning '' by the New Yorker magazine . The Urban Quartet was nominated by Lulkas Foss in 2007 for a Pulitzer Prize .   The points of departure for Kaufman 's writing are often gestures and sound imagery from his own wide ranging background which includes jazz and Eastern European Jewish folk traditions and a foundation deeply steeped in the classics as well as the avant garde . Kaufman continues to stretch the boundaries of standard approaches to composition and the results have been called `` startling '' .   In March , 2011 , Fredrick Kaufman completed the `` Guernica '' Piano Concerto , a commission for the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and concert pianist Kemal Gekic .

neg: George Herriman George Joseph Herriman ( August 22 , 1880 -- April 25 , 1944 ) was an American cartoonist best known for the comic strip Krazy Kat ( 1913 -- 1944 ) . More influential than popular , Krazy Kat had an appreciative audience among those in the arts . Gilbert Seldes ' article `` The Krazy Kat Who Walks by Himself '' was the earliest example of a critic from the high arts giving serious attention to a comic strip . The Comics Journal placed the strip first on its list of the greatest comics of the 20th century . Herriman 's work has been a primary influence on cartoonists such as Will Eisner , Charles M. Schulz , Robert Crumb , Art Spiegelman , Bill Watterson , and Chris Ware .   Herriman was born in New Orleans , Louisiana , to mulatto Creole parents , and grew up in Los Angeles . After he graduated from high school in 1897 , he worked in the newspaper industry as an illustrator and engraver . He moved on to cartooning and comic strips -- a medium then in its infancy -- and drew a variety of strips until he introduced his most famous character , Krazy Kat , in his strip The Dingbat Family in 1910 . A Krazy Kat daily strip began in 1913 , and from 1916 the strip also appeared on Sundays . It was noted for its poetic , dialect-heavy dialogue ; its fantastic , shifting backgrounds ; and its bold , experimental page layouts . In the strip 's main motif , Ignatz Mouse pelted Krazy with bricks , which the naïve , androgynous Kat interpreted as symbols of love . As the strip progressed , a love triangle developed between Krazy , Ignatz , and Offisa Pupp .   Herriman lived most of his life in Los Angeles , but made frequent trips to the Navajo deserts in the southwestern U.S. . He was drawn to the landscapes of Monument Valley and the Enchanted Mesa , and made Coconino County the location of his Krazy Kat strips . His artwork made much use of Navajo and Mexican themes and motifs against shifting desert backgrounds . He was a prolific cartoonist who produced a large number of strips and illustrated Don Marquis 's books of poetry about Archy and Mehitabel , an alley cat and a cockroach . Newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst was a proponent of Herriman and gave him a lifetime contract with King Features Syndicate , which guaranteed Herriman a comfortable living and an outlet for his work despite its lack of popularity .

neg: Downbound Train `` Downbound Train '' is a song that appears on the 1984 Bruce Springsteen album Born in the U.S.A. . The song is a lament to a lost spouse , and takes on a melancholy tone . Author Christopher Sandford described the song as beginning `` like a Keith Richards ' riff '' that ultimately moves to `` one of those great country busted-heart lines , ` Now I work down at the car wash/where all it ever does is rain . ' ''   The song was recorded in March or April 1982 at the Power Station in one of the first sessions for the Born in the U.S.A. album . Like several other Born in the U.S.A. songs , including `` Working on the Highway '' and the title track , a solo acoustic version of `` Downbound Train '' was originally recorded on the demo that eventually became the Nebraska album .   Though it was not one of the seven singles released from the album , the song nevertheless gained some album-oriented rock radio airplay and was featured fairly regularly on the Born in the U.S.A. Tour . It has been performed sporadically in tours since . Overall , the song has been played in concert about 130 times through 2008 . Author Robert Kirkpatrick contended that `` Downbound Train '' `` might be the best song on the album '' , and Debby Bull called it `` the saddest song -LSB- Springsteen -RSB- 's ever written . '' But Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh , writing in Glory Days , did not agree , calling `` Downbound Train '' `` the weakest song -LSB- Springsteen -RSB- 's released since the second album , ... incredibly sloppy ... The protagonist 's three jobs in five verses are only symptomatic of its problems . '' Other observers analysed it in retrospect as a harbinger , with naturalistic imagery lacing the song throughout in an approach that Springsteen would return to heavily in his Dylan - `` Series of Dreams '' - influenced early 1990s .

neg: Grammy Award for Best New Artist The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1959 . Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out , for records released in the previous year . The award was not presented in 1967 . The official guidelines are as follows : `` For a new artist who releases , during the Eligibility Year , the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist . '' Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist .   It is sometimes asserted , with varying degrees of sincerity , that winning the award is a curse , as several award winners ( particularly from the late 1970s and early 1980s ) were never able to duplicate the success they experienced in their debut year . This viewpoint was expressed by former Starland Vocal Band member Taffy Danoff in a 2002 interview for VH1 's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders : `` We got two of the five Grammys -- one was Best New Artist . So that was basically the kiss of death and I feel sorry for everyone who 's gotten it since . ''   The category is also notable for being the only one of its kind in which a Grammy Award was vacated . This occurred in 1990 after it was revealed winners Milli Vanilli did not contribute their own vocals on their debut album . The award was revoked , but was not handed out to another artist .   Of the 54 awards presented in the category since its inception , the honor has been presented to 25 solo female artists , 18 duos or groups , and 11 solo male artists . Between 1997 and 2003 , all the winners were solo female artists . Also , from 1993 to 2005 , no winner was a solo male artist . In 2006 , John Legend broke this trend , which started with Marc Cohn in 1992 . Only four artists have won both Best New Artist and Album of the Year in the same year : Bob Newhart in 1961 , Christopher Cross in 1981 , Lauryn Hill in 1999 and Norah Jones in 2003 .   Of all the winners , only three have been country artists . In 1997 , LeAnn Rimes became the first country artist to win the award . She was followed by Carrie Underwood in 2007 and Zac Brown Band in 2010 . Additionally , 2017 marked the first time that two country artists were nominated in this category in the same year .   1984 marked the first time that all of the nominees were from outside of the United States ( Winner Culture Club , Eurythmics , and Musical Youth were from England , Big Country was from Scotland , and Men Without Hats were from Canada ) .

neg: VSA (Kennedy Center) VSA , is an international organization on arts , education and disability , which was founded in 1974 by former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith , and is headquartered in Washington , DC . In 2011 , VSA became the Department of VSA and Accessibility at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts . The purpose of VSA -- which started out as Very Special Arts -- is `` to provide people of all ages living with disabilities the opportunity to learn through , participate in and enjoy the arts . '' A primary focus is on arts education opportunities for young people with disabilities and to `` promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the arts , education and culture around the world . '' Each year , people of all ages and abilities participate in VSA programs , which cover all artistic genres -- music , dance , visual arts , theater and literary arts . This is accomplished through a network of affiliates in 52 countries and VSA state organizations across America .   On September 28 , 2005 the Board of Trustees of the Kennedy Center and the Board of Directors of VSA arts -- as the organization was known at the time -- announced their formal affiliation , effective October 3 , 2005 . The stated purpose of this action was to `` enable both organizations to expand and strengthen their arts education programs to better serve children , families and all people with disabilities around the world . '' Other reasons cited were to allow for the sharing of resources and programming between the two organizations . The affiliation became a full merger in 2011 .

neg: Intersections (1985–2005) Bruce Hornsby 's Intersections ( 1985 -- 2005 ) is a 4 CD / 1 DVD retrospective boxed set . The tracks are a mixture of previously unreleased live recordings , unreleased studio recordings , and album cuts . The boxed set 's title emphasizes the large number of musical collaborations Hornsby has embarked upon during his career , as evidenced by the list of collaborators below .   The discs are thematically broken into three categories : `` Top 90 Time , '' `` Solo Piano , Tribute Records , Country-Bluegrass , Movie Scores , '' and `` By Request ( Favorites and Best Songs ) '' ( two CDs ) . A full third of the music is previously unreleased ; many familiar tracks are presented as unreleased live versions rather than the original studio recordings , and the majority of the remaining tracks are from single b-sides , collaborations and/or tribute albums and movie soundtracks .   Some noteworthy collaborations include a piano-and-saxophone duet with Ornette Coleman and a performance with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd 's `` Comfortably Numb . '' The set also offers a number of excellent examples of Hornsby 's re-inventiveness with his own compositions , particularly in a live setting , for instance three different versions of `` The Valley Road '' are included -- a live `` bluesy funk '' version with the Noise Makers , a Grammy-winning bluegrass version with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band , and `` a loose and sloppy but totally grooving boogie '' take with the Grateful Dead .  Critics have said that Hornsby 's particular integrations of different musical genres , and his passion for reinventing his own compositions , create a kind of music many might `` never hear '' otherwise as it is `` a kind of music no one else is making . ''   `` Song H '' was a new composition that was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental at the 2007 Grammy Awards .

neg: John Mellencamp John J Mellencamp ( born October 7 , 1951 ) , also known as John Cougar Mellencamp , is an American musician , singer-songwriter , painter , and actor . He is known for his catchy , populist brand of heartland rock , which emphasizes traditional instrumentation . Mellencamp rose to superstardom in the 1980s while `` honing an almost startlingly plainspoken writing style that , starting in 1982 , yielded a string of Top 10 singles , '' including `` Hurts So Good , '' `` Jack & Diane , '' `` Crumblin ' Down , '' `` Pink Houses , '' `` Lonely Ol' Night , '' `` Small Town , '' `` R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. , '' `` Paper in Fire , '' and `` Cherry Bomb . '' He has amassed 22 Top 40 hits in the United States . In addition , he holds the record for the most tracks by a solo artist to hit number one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart , with seven , and has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards , winning one . Mellencamp released his latest album , Sad Clowns & Hillbillies , on April 28 , 2017 , to widespread critical acclaim .   Mellencamp is also one of the founding members of Farm Aid , an organization that began in 1985 with a concert in Champaign , Illinois , to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land . Farm Aid concerts have remained an annual event over the past 32 years , and as of 2017 the organization has raised over $ 50 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture .   Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10 , 2008 . His biggest musical influences are Bob Dylan , Woody Guthrie , James Brown , Buddy Holly and the Rolling Stones . Said longtime Rolling Stone contributor Anthony DeCurtis : `` Mellencamp has created an important body of work that has earned him both critical regard and an enormous audience . His songs document the joys and struggles of ordinary people seeking to make their way , and he has consistently brought the fresh air of common experience to the typically glamour-addled world of popular music . ''   The late Billboard magazine editor-in-chief Timothy White said in 2001 :   Johnny Cash called Mellencamp `` one of the 10 best songwriters '' in music .

neg: I'm Goin' Down `` I 'm Goin ' Down '' is a song written and performed by American singer Bruce Springsteen that was released as the sixth single from his album Born in the U.S.A. in August 1985 . The song is one of several of the album 's tracks that he recorded with the E Street Band in May 1982 at the Power Station music studio . The release of these full-band tracks was put into question when Springsteen used solo material for his September 1982 LP , Nebraska , and considered doing the same for his next album , which would become Born in the U.S.A. . He later decided to use several of the May 1982 recordings on Born in the U.S.A. `` I 'm Goin ' Down '' beat out contender `` Pink Cadillac '' for a spot on the album .   `` I 'm Goin ' Down '' , which features a prominent drum performance and possesses an energetic feel , deals with the frustration of diminishing sexual activity in romantic relationships . As a single , it reached No. 9 in the United States and the top 40 in Sweden , Canada , and Italy . The song , which has received positive appraisal from critics , has not been performed often by Springsteen since his Born in the U.S.A. Tour ; between 2009 and 2014 , he played it at less than 12 percent of his concerts whose set lists his official website has published . Cover versions of `` I 'm Goin ' Down '' include renditions by Frank Black and the Catholics , Free Energy , Vampire Weekend , Dessa , and Trampled by Turtles .

neg: The Joshua Tree The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by Irish rock band U2 . It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno , and was released on 9 March 1987 on Island Records . In contrast to the ambient experimentation of their 1984 release , The Unforgettable Fire , the band aimed for a harder-hitting sound within the limitation of conventional song structures on The Joshua Tree . The album is influenced by American and Irish roots music , and through sociopolitically conscious lyrics embellished with spiritual imagery , it contrasts the group 's antipathy for the `` real America '' with their fascination with the `` mythical America '' .   Inspired by American tour experiences , literature , and politics , U2 chose America as a theme for the record . Recording began in January 1986 in Ireland , and to foster a relaxed , creative atmosphere , the group primarily recorded in two houses . Several events during the sessions helped shape the conscious tone of the album , including the band 's participation in the Conspiracy of Hope benefit concerts for Amnesty International , the death of roadie Greg Carroll , and lead vocalist Bono 's travels to Central America . Recording was completed in November 1986 ; additional production continued into January 1987 . Throughout the sessions , U2 sought a `` cinematic '' quality for the record , one that would evoke a sense of location , in particular , the open spaces of the United States . They represented this in the sleeve photography depicting them in American desert landscapes .   The Joshua Tree received critical acclaim , topped the charts in over 20 countries , and became the fastest-selling album in British history . According to Rolling Stone , the album increased the band 's stature `` from heroes to superstars '' . It produced the hit singles `` With or Without You '' , `` I Still Have n't Found What I 'm Looking For '' , and `` Where the Streets Have No Name '' , the first two of which became the group 's only number-one singles in the US . The album won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1988 . The group supported the record with the Joshua Tree Tour throughout 1987 .   Frequently featured on critics ' lists of the greatest records , The Joshua Tree is one of the world 's best-selling albums , with over 25 million copies sold . U2 commemorated the record 's 20th anniversary with a remastered re-release , and its 30th anniversary with announcements of an anniversary concert tour and reissue . In 2014 , it was deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the US Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry .

neg: Elvis Presley's guitars Elvis Presley 's guitars were a major component of the iconic rock and roll image created by Elvis Presley that revolutionized popular culture in the 1950s and 1960s . It is impossible to gauge the impact of that image on millions of young people around the world who were inspired to learn to play guitar after watching Presley in performance , on television , or in films . Although not known for his abilities as a guitarist , Presley had a profound musical influence on some of the most important rock and roll artists to emerge since the 1950s , including Buddy Holly , John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison , Bob Dylan , and Bruce Springsteen . The extent of Presley 's impact on their lives and music is captured in John Lennon 's famous quote : `` Before Elvis , there was nothing . ''   According to his first lead guitarist , Scotty Moore , Presley was not `` an accomplished musician '' , yet he possessed `` an uncanny and amazing sense of timing and rhythm . '' In the early years of his career , Presley 's rhythm guitar accompaniment played a major role in the sound of his early performances and recordings . Moore noted that as Presley began to learn to move on stage and to work the audience with his physical performance , his guitar became more of a `` prop '' .   Presley was not known to treat his instruments in a gentle manner . His very aggressive strumming style would frequently break strings during his performances . The lack of a microphone on his guitar throughout those years contributed to the development of his `` aggressive style in attempt to be heard '' . As his career progressed , he became even more aggressive toward his instruments , frequently tossing his guitar to Charlie Hodge , who sometimes failed to catch it . The impact of the large belt buckles and jewelry he wore left their marks on most of his instruments .


query: Planet of the Apes is a squid.

pos: Planet of the Apes (1968 film) Planet of the Apes is a 1968 American science fiction film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner . It stars Charlton Heston , Roddy McDowall , Kim Hunter , Maurice Evans , James Whitmore , James Daly and Linda Harrison . The screenplay by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling was loosely based on the 1963 French novel La Planète des Singes by Pierre Boulle . Jerry Goldsmith composed the groundbreaking avant-garde score . It was the first in a series of five films made between 1968 and 1973 , all produced by Arthur P. Jacobs and released by 20th Century Fox .   The film tells the story of an astronaut crew who crash-land on a strange planet in the distant future . Although the planet appears desolate at first , the surviving crew members stumble upon a society in which apes have evolved into creatures with human-like intelligence and speech . The apes have assumed the role of the dominant species and humans are mute creatures wearing animal skins .   The script was originally written by Rod Serling , but underwent many rewrites before filming eventually began . Directors J. Lee Thompson and Blake Edwards were approached , but the film 's producer Arthur P. Jacobs , upon the recommendation of Charlton Heston , chose Franklin J. Schaffner to direct the film . Schaffner 's changes included an ape society less advanced -- and therefore less expensive to depict -- than that of the original novel . Filming took place between May 21 and August 10 , 1967 , in California , Utah and Arizona , with desert sequences shot in and around Lake Powell , Glen Canyon National Recreation Area . The film 's final `` closed '' cost was $ 5.8 million .   The film was released on February 8 , 1968 , in the United States and was a commercial success , earning a lifetime domestic gross of $ 32.6 million . The film was groundbreaking for its prosthetic makeup techniques by artist John Chambers and was well received by critics and audiences , launching a film franchise , including four sequels , as well as a short-lived television show , animated series , comic books , and various merchandising . In particular , Roddy McDowall had a long-running relationship with the Apes series , appearing in four of the original five films ( absent , apart from a brief voiceover , from the second film of the series , Beneath the Planet of the Apes , in which he was replaced by David Watson in the role of Cornelius ) , and also in the television series .   The original series was followed by Tim Burton 's remake Planet of the Apes in 2001 and the reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011 . Also in 2001 , Planet of the Apes was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

neg: Primate A primate ( -LSB- ˈpraɪmeɪt -RSB- ) is a mammal of the order Primates ( Latin : `` prime , first rank '' ) . In taxonomy , primates include two distinct lineages , strepsirrhines and haplorhines . Primates arose from ancestors that lived in the trees of tropical forests ; many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging three-dimensional environment . Most primate species remain at least partly arboreal .   With the exception of humans , who inhabit every continent , most primates live in tropical or subtropical regions of the Americas , Africa and Asia . They range in size from Madame Berthe 's mouse lemur , which weighs only 30 g , to the eastern gorilla , weighing over 200 kg ; that is , without taking into account the weight of particular human individuals , reaching up to 635 kg . Based on fossil evidence , the earliest known true primates , represented by the genus Teilhardina , date to 55.8 million years old . An early close primate relative known from abundant remains is the Late Paleocene Plesiadapis , c. 55 -- 58 million years old . Molecular clock studies suggest that the primate branch may be even older , originating near the Cretaceous -- Paleogene boundary or around 63 -- 74 mya .   The order Primates was traditionally divided into two main groupings : prosimians and anthropoids ( simians ) . Prosimians have characteristics more like those of the earliest primates , and include the lemurs of Madagascar , lorisoids , and tarsiers . Simians include monkeys , apes and hominins . More recently , taxonomists have preferred to split primates into the suborder Strepsirrhini , or wet-nosed primates , consisting of non-tarsier prosimians , and the suborder Haplorhini , or dry-nosed primates , consisting of tarsiers and the simians .   Simians are divided into two groups : catarrhine ( narrow-nosed ) monkeys and apes of Africa and Southeast Asia and platyrrhine ( `` flat-nosed '' ) or New World monkeys of South and Middle America . Catarrhines consist of Old World monkeys ( such as baboons and macaques ) , gibbons and great apes ; New World monkeys include the capuchin , howler and squirrel monkeys . Humans are the only extant catarrhines to have spread successfully outside of Africa , South Asia , and East Asia , although fossil evidence shows many other species were formerly present in Europe . New primate species are still being discovered . More than 25 species were taxonomically described in the decade of the 2000s and eleven have been described since 2010 .   Considered generalist mammals , primates exhibit a wide range of characteristics . Some primates ( including some great apes and baboons ) are primarily terrestrial rather than arboreal , but all species possess adaptations for climbing trees . Locomotion techniques used include leaping from tree to tree , walking on two or four limbs , knuckle-walking , and swinging between branches of trees ( brachiation ) .   Primates are characterized by large brains relative to other mammals , as well as an increased reliance on stereoscopic vision at the expense of smell , the dominant sensory system in most mammals . These features are more developed in monkeys and apes and noticeably less so in lorises and lemurs . Three-color vision has developed in some primates . Most also have opposable thumbs and some have prehensile tails . Many species are sexually dimorphic ; differences include body mass , canine tooth size , and coloration . Primates have slower rates of development than other similarly sized mammals and reach maturity later , but have longer lifespans . Depending on the species , adults may live in solitude , in mated pairs , or in groups of up to hundreds of members .

neg: Project SQUID Project SQUID was a United States defense effort post-World War II effort to develop and improve pulsejet and rocket engines , run by the Office of Naval Research .   It was started by discovery of the German Argus As 014 pulsejet used on the V1 buzzbomb , which was reverse-engineered as the Republic Ford JB-2 , the first American cruise missile . It produced extensive research in the areas of computational flow dynamics , and was used to improve the design of the experimental Fairchild XH-26 Jeep Jet , which used pulsejets on the rotor tips instead of a central engine . The research led to development of pulse detonation engines , which have been suggested as the engines powering the postulated Aurora spyplane .

neg: Journey to Venus Journey to Venus the Primeval World ; Its Wonderful Creations and Gigantic Monsters is an 1895 science fiction novel written by Gustavus W. Pope . The book was a sequel to Pope 's novel of the previous year , Journey to Mars . The Venus volume features the same hero and heroine , Lt. Frederick Hamilton , USN , and his love interest the Martian princess Suhlamia . They travel to Venus on a Martian `` ethervolt '' spacecraft .   The publisher promoted the book as `` full of exciting adventures , hairbreadth escapes , and perilous vicissitudes , among primeval monsters and semi-human creatures , the episodes following each other in such breathless succession that the interest of the reader never flags . ''   Modern critics have noted the book largely for its depiction of giant dinosaur-like Venusian beasts . Pope 's pair of novels on Mars and Venus ( volumes in a projected Romances of the Planets series that the author never continued ) were precursors of popular planetary adventure novels of the twentieth century by Edgar Rice Burroughs , Otis Adelbert Kline , and other writers .   The original edition of Journey to Venus from Arena Publishing Co. featured sixteen illustrations by `` Miss Fairfax and Mrs. McAuley . '' The ensuing `` paper-covered '' edition reduced the illustrations to three . After the 1896 bankruptcy of Arena Publishing , Journey to Venus was reprinted in 1897 by the New York firm F. T. Neely , with the reduced number of three illustrations .

neg: Ocean Odyssey (TV series) Ocean Odyssey ( working title Oceans ) is a two-part , two-hour ( the two parts last an hour long ) television programme produced for the BBC by the production company Impossible Pictures .   It follows the life of a bull sperm whale from his first deep dive until his death , stranded on a beach ( originally it was to be a voyage in a submarine ) .   Unlike most Impossible Pictures productions , it uses CGI to recreate currently living rather than extinct creatures . Most of the backgrounds are also CG .

neg: Asperoteuthis acanthoderma Asperoteuthis acanthoderma is a large species of squid belonging to the family Chiroteuthidae . It is characterised by the tiny , pointed tubercules present on its skin and a Y-shaped groove in the funnel locking apparatus .   The largest recorded specimen measured 78 cm in mantle length ( ML ) , although its original total length is unknown as it was missing the very delicate feeding tentacles . A smaller specimen , 45 cm ML , had tentacles 12 times the length of its mantle , giving a total length of almost 5.5 m . This makes A. acanthoderma one of the longest known cephalopods .   The type specimen of A. acanthoderma was collected in the Celebes Sea and is deposited at the Zoologisk Museum of Københavns Universitet in Copenhagen . A. acanthoderma is also known from waters off the Cayman Islands , the Florida Keys , Okinawa , and Hawaii .   The first known specimen from the Atlantic Ocean was found by a charter fisherman while floating in 250 m deep water off the southern coast of Key West , Florida on 20 February 2007 . It measured 73 cm ML and is thought to have been 4.9 to long when intact . Although an incomplete specimen , missing most of its tentacles , it weighed 6 kg and measured 2 m in total length .   In 2007 , teuthologist Richard E. Young stated that `` probably fewer than 10 '' specimens of A. acanthoderma had ever been reported . However , since 2006 there has been an influx of new specimens from the Caribbean Basin and Atlantic . Four specimens were recorded between 2006 and 2007 ( two from the Florida Keys , one off Grand Cayman , and one off Little Cayman ) . This was followed by another specimen from Little Cayman in May 2008 and another from Grand Cayman in September 2009 . A large specimen around 2 m long was found floating at the surface off the Cayman Islands in 2013 . It was transported to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg on a Royal Caribbean cruise and later transferred to the National Museum of Natural History in Washington , D.C. .

neg: Illex illecebrosus Illex illecebrosus , commonly known as the northern shortfin squid or Boston squid , is a species of neritic squids in the family Ommastrephidae . They are found in the northwest Atlantic Ocean , from off the coast of eastern North America to Greenland , Iceland , and west of Ireland and the United Kingdom . They are a highly migratory and short-lived species , with lifespans of less than a year . They are commercially important and are fished extensively ( primarily by the United States and Canada ) , mostly for the Canadian and Japanese markets .

neg: Nototodarus Nototodarus is a genus of squid . Example species in this genus include Nototodarus sloanii , a species sought for human food ; in the process of harvesting N. sloanii Australian sea lions are frequently killed , since that marine mammal preys upon this squid species . Furthermore , New Zealand arrow squid , N. sloanii , is an important food source for the endangered yellow-eyed penguin , Megadyptes antipodes .

neg: Myopsina Myopsina is a suborder of squid containing two families : the monotypic Australiteuthidae and the diverse and commercially important Loliginidae ( ~ 50 species ) . Some taxonomists raise this group to the level of an order , in which case it is known as Myopsida . This is due to Myopsina and Oegopsina not being demonstrated to form a clade .   A number of morphological features distinguish members of Myopsina from those of its sister group , Oegopsina . Some of the most obvious differences are found in the structure of the eyes : those of myopsid squids lack a secondary eyelid and are instead covered by a transparent corneal membrane , the opening of which is reduced to a microscopic anterior pore in most species . The arms and tentacles are ornamented with simple suckers ( hooks are never present ) , with additional suckers usually borne on the buccal lappets . The carpal ( `` wrist '' ) portion of the tentacular club lacks a locking apparatus , and a tentacle pocket is present on the head . The funnel has no lateral adductor muscles . An internalised shell is present in the form of a well-developed gladius , which is located dorsally within the mantle and extends for almost its entire length . In contrast to oegopsids , females possess accessory nidamental glands in addition to the main nidamental glands . They however lack a right oviduct .   Myopsids are found in coastal waters worldwide . They are demersal , generally feeding on or near the bottom .   Adult sizes range from the dwarf Australiteuthis and Pickfordiateuthis , whose males mature at less than 2 cm in mantle length ( ML ) , to the large Loligo forbesii , which can exceed 90 cm ML .

neg: Grimpoteuthis Grimpoteuthis , also called the Dumbo Octopus , is a genus of pelagic umbrella octopus that live in the deep sea . Prominent ear-like fins protrude from the mantle just above their lateral eyes . They have a U or V shaped shell in their mantle which gives them a bell shaped appearance . Some species are short , squat and yellow , while others resemble a jellyfish with one big brown walking shoe . Some have suckers , in addition to spines , on all 8 webbed arms while others look like a regular octopus with the addition of blue or other coloured `` ears '' . These octopuses are commonly nicknamed `` Dumbo octopuses '' or `` Dumbo octopods '' or even '' Dumboes '' in reference to how the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their head-like bodies resemble the ears of Walt Disney 's flying elephant Dumbo . There are at least 13 species recognized in the genus , each having a different aspect from all the others . These features could be larger ears or different colours . As these animals live at the bottom of the sea they have a very small food supply . Prey include crustaceans , bivalves , worms and copepods . The average life span of various Grimpoteuthis species is 3 to 5 years .   All species of Grimpoteuthis are bathyal creatures , living at extreme depths of 3000 to with some living up to 7000 m below sea level , which is the deepest of any known octopus . They are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species . They have been found worldwide in the waters of New Zealand , Australia , Monterey Bay , Oregon , Philippines , Martha 's Vineyard , Papua New Guinea and Azores . They can flush the transparent layer of their skin at will , and are pelagic animals , as with all other cirrate octopuses . The largest Dumbo octopus ever recorded was 1.8 metres ( 5.9 ft ) in length and weighed 5.9 kg . The average size for most species is 20 -- 30 centimetres ( 7.9 -- 12 in ) in length . The average weight is still undetermined .

neg: Animat Animat ( third-person indicative present of the Latin verb animō ) , meaning to `` animate , give or bring life '' .   Animats are artificial animals , a contraction of animal-materials . The term includes physical robots and virtual simulations . Animat research , a subset of Artificial Life studies , has become rather popular since Rodney Brooks ' seminal paper `` Intelligence without representation '' . The word was coined by S.W. Wilson in 1985 ,  in `` Knowledge growth in an artificial animal '' , published in the first Proceedings  of an International Conference on Genetic Algorithms and Their Applications .   An example using the Animat model as proposed by Wilson is discussed at some length in chapter 9 of Stan Franklin 's book , Artificial Minds . In this implementation , the animat is capable of independent learning about its environment through application and evolution of pattern-matching rules called `` taxons '' .   In 2001 Thomas DeMarse performed studies on ` Neurally controlled animat ' . Every two years , the Society of Adaptive Behaviour meets and produces a proceedings on this topic . They also have a journal , Adaptive Behavior .   Alan H Goldstein has proposed that , because nanobiotechnology is in the process of creating real animal-materials , speculative use of this term should be discouraged and its application become purely phenomenological . Based on the Animat Test ( contained in the reference `` I , Nanobot . '' ) any nonbiological material or entity that exhibits the minimum set of behaviors that define a life form is , de facto , an Animat . Goldstein 's basic premise is that in the age of nanobiotechnology it is necessary to follow the chemistry and molecular engineering rather than watching for the emergence of some pre-conceived minimum level of ` intelligence ' such as an artificial neural network capable of adaptive phenomena . Goldstein has cautioned that there is a serious disconnect between the fields of nanobiotechnology and A-life based on profound differences in scientific training , experimental systems , and the different sets of terminology ( jargon ) these two fields have produced . Nanobiotechnologists ( really molecular engineers who work with both biological and nonbiological molecules ) are generally not concerned with complex systems per se ; even when they are building molecular interconnects between such systems , e.g. neuroelectronic splices . A-Life researchers mainly take a systems-level approach . The enormous transformative power of novel molecular engineering has the potential to create Animats , true nonbiological life forms , whose relatively simple behavior would not fit into most standard A-Life paradigms . As a result , Goldstein argues , the first Animats may come into being completely unrecognized by either scientific community .

neg: Squid the Whale Squid The Whale ( formerly known as No , Really ! ) is an indie pop-rock band from Metro Detroit , Michigan . Formed in 2008 , it originally consisted of vocalist Robert Weber , guitarist Brandon Kubiac , bassist Daniel Jay Mataczynski and drummer Jonathan Wagoner .   In 2010 , they released their debut album A Worrisome Voyage Through Inclement Weather . The following year , Robert Weber departed from the band and Bradley Walden joined in his place . Together , they went on to release their first EP new war . ( 2011 ) , and singles Rolling In The Deep ( Adele ) and The German Affair ( 2012 ) . In 2013 , they released the second EP Four More .   Six months later , it was announced that Bradley Walden would be leaving Squid The Whale and would soon after join as the new lead vocalist for the post-hardcore band Emarosa .   In 2015 , they released the EP B-Sides , which includes 3 previously unreleased songs .

neg: Cephalopod size Cephalopods vary enormously in size . The smallest are only about 1 cm long and weigh less than 1 g at maturity , while the largest -- the giant and colossal squids -- can exceed 10 m in length and weigh close to half a tonne ( 0.5 tonne ) , making them the largest living invertebrates . Similarly large cephalopods are known from the fossil record , including enormous examples of ammonoids , belemnoids , nautiloids , and vampyromorphids . In terms of mass , the largest of all known cephalopods were likely the giant shelled ammonoids and endocerids .   Size , and particularly maximum size , has been one of the most interesting aspects of cephalopod science to the general public . This is evidenced by the regular coverage given to the giant squid -- and more recently , the colossal squid -- in both the popular press and academic literature ( see Ellis , 1998 ; Roper & Shea , 2013 ; Paxton , 2016 ) . On account of its status as a charismatic megafauna the giant squid has been proposed as an emblematic animal for marine invertebrate conservation ( see Guerra et al. , 2011 ) .   Certain cephalopod species are noted for having individual body parts of exceptional size . The giant and colossal squids , for example , have the largest known eyes among living animals .

neg: Planet P Project Planet P Project is a pseudonym used by American rock musician Tony Carey for his science-fiction themed , progressive rock/space rock music . Carey has released six albums under the Planet P Project name : Planet P ( 1983 , later retitled Planet P Project ) , Pink World ( 1984 ) , Go Out Dancing , Part I ( 1931 ) ( 2005 ) , Go Out Dancing , Part II ( Levittown ) ( 2008 ) , Go Out Dancing , Part III ( Out in the Rain ) ( 2009 ) and Steeltown ( 2013 ) . Music videos for singles from the first albums received heavy to moderate airplay on MTV , when originally released . Pink World was originally a two-record set , released on bright-pink-colored vinyl .   Planet P 's most well known singles were `` Why Me ? '' ( a sweeping , energetic romp about outer space and isolation ) , and the downbeat `` Static '' . Go Out Dancing , Part I ( 1931 ) is the first of the trilogy , with part two titled Go Out Dancing , Part II ( Levittown ) and part three as Go Out Dancing , Part III ( Out in the Rain ) .   The project 's name was inspired from the fictional `` Planet P '' in Robert A. Heinlein 's book Starship Troopers .

neg: Mollusc shell The mollusc ( or molluskOften spelled mollusk shell in the USA ; the spelling `` mollusc '' are preferred by ) shell is typically a calcareous exoskeleton which encloses , supports and protects the soft parts of an animal in the phylum Mollusca , which includes snails , clams , tusk shells , and several other classes . Not all shelled molluscs live in the sea ; many live on the land and in freshwater .   The ancestral mollusc is thought to have had a shell , but this has subsequently been lost or reduced on some families , such as the squid , octopus , and some smaller groups such as the caudofoveata and solenogastres , and the highly derived Xenoturbella . Today , over 100,000 living species bear a shell ; there is some dispute as to whether these shell-bearing molluscs form a monophyletic group ( conchifera ) or whether shell-less molluscs are interleaved into their family tree .   Malacology , the scientific study of molluscs as living organisms , has a branch devoted to the study of shells , and this is called conchology -- although these terms used to be , and to a minor extent still are , used interchangeably , even by scientists ( this is more common in Europe ) .   Within some species of molluscs , there is often a wide degree of variation in the exact shape , pattern , ornamentation , and color of the shell .

neg: Uroteuthis duvauceli Uroteuthis duvaucelii , also known as the Indian Ocean Squid or Indian Squid , is an Indo-West Pacific species of squid with a wide range throughout the Indian Ocean to Malaysia and the South China Sea , and is also present in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea . U. duvaucelii is found at depths between 3m and 170m and feeds on fishes , crustaceans and other squids . Individuals have mantles moderately long ( commonly up to 150mm ) and slender with broad fins approximately 50 % of the mantle length .  U. duvaucelii represents a significant species in commercial fisheries throughout its range . e.g. catches of squid in the Philippines Commercial Fishery are 90 % U. duvaucelii .
