so this girl was in my hs grad class, I only noticed it cause she is not listed under famous hs alum and I had no idea she 'made it'.

nobody has heard of this meme, right? sorta impressive that she'd cite 48 sources.

she is now*

That's news to me, but tbh there are plenty of meme-ish link which show up on my facebook page that I completely ignore.

Pretty clear she wrote this all herself, though.

if whiney has heard of this meme I am willing to consider it a meme

nobody has heard of this meme, right?

lol you do not know any singers I guess, because that went around to all of my friends several times starting in 2009, culminating in several of them seeing her perform live with various Broadway casts like Billy Elliot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5KhjI8_v0

like, every classical/theater singer in the Boston area has likely seen this about a bazillion times

omg I had not seen her "California Gurls"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-Qy3ZXn8g&feature=related

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

still I am impressed that someone I (vaguely) knew irl is attempting a meme-based career

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

congratulations, you have just described a successful meme

yeah but why are your friends paying money to see her live

Why are teenaged girls and middle-aged men paying money to see Justin Bieber live?

cause he's hot

I am willing to accept that this meme was not meant for my demographic

anyway I mostly just admire the 48 citations

In the summer of 2010, Duck Sauce released a track "Barbra Streisand", named after the singer of the same name.

shhh

Article ranges from untrue to unverifiable. Supposedly a musician. Also supposedly "more notorious as an Internet phenomenon than as a musician". Let's put it this way, a mere 932 Google hits, inflated by Wikipedia mirrors and postings on a message board that is itself barely notable at best (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Love Music), does not qualify as an Internet phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination.

new board description imo

oh that is a hilarious page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/I_Love_Music

Delete - content is non-notable, verging on the nonsensical. --Whouk (talk) 18:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I have a relative who clearly did this. She had a relatively impressive career in a couple of different areas but at most might be worthy of a stub-sized entry for one of them, and instead wrote this super long bio detailing everything she's ever done and exaggerating minor accomplishments.

Its content was recently replaced with an unrelated article about trees, which was then vandalized Bill 18:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment this vote for keep is from the same ip address that replaced the article with one about pine trees. Must not think its too important.Bill 22:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Delete, it's up to you, but if you're going to keep, then for god's sake get some better content than that in - none of the names cited are "much-loved internet personalities" they are music writers, apart from the last-named, who is a homophobic nuisance poster on the board (who is also probably responsible for putting the article up in the first place).

Excuse me, but I am that "homophobic nuisance poster". I didn't put up the article in the first place (it was Tuomas, don't you know) and I am an internet personality. Just the other day, someone walked up to me and said "I KNOW YOU FROM THE INTERNET. TO BE SPECIFIC, I LOVE MUSIC!" -- Love, Esteban Buttez

I'm sure the folks at Wikipdeia are fascinated by this, "Esteban".

Whatever that means. Also, I hope you know that I have several gay and lesbian friends. One of them works at Officeworks, and he gets me discounts there now and again. He's such a nice guy. -- Cheers Bigears! Love, Esteban Buttez!

Keep. The content of the article could be improved, but ILM/ILX is of cultural significance.
Delete. As per the above exchange, any entry about "I Love Music" is likely to be persistently changed back and forth for "humorous" purposes by board trolls, such as "Esteban", above. I'm a long-term regular poster on "I Love Music", it's a fun place, but to be honest I really have my doubts about its "cultural significance", despite its appearing in newspapers, and some of the other regulars being published authors etc.

Not exactly the same, but I can guarantee you that Mitt Romney's Wikipedia article was written by one of his staffers.

e.g.:

"Although the campus was becoming radicalized with the beginnings of 1960s social and political movements, Romney kept a well-groomed appearance and enjoyed traditional campus events.[15]"

"In any case, maximizing the value of acquired companies and the return to Bain's investors, not job creation, was the firm's fundamental goal, as it was for most private equity operations.[61][69]"

"While there have been many biographical parallels between the lives of George Romney and his son Mitt,[nb 23] one particular difference is that while George was willing to defy political trends, Mitt has been much more willing to adapt to them.[13][20] "

"Throughout his business, Olympics, and political career, Romney's instinct has been to apply the "Bain way" towards problems.[173][293][312]"

Keepin' a little BYU spirit on other campuses.

Jonathan Edwards, folk musician

Edwards toured as the lead in the Broadway musical Pumpboys and Dinettes when he met an old friend from the folk circuit, Wendy Waldman, in Nashville. She and Mike Robertson convinced Edwards to come to town and record a country album. "I've been making country-sounding records all my life, but never in Nashville. Yeah, let's do it." Edwards said. So, Natural Thing was produced, recorded, and released on MCA/Curb Records in 1989. "I was crazy about the songs we selected from those great Nashville writers, and the acoustic-based production that Wendy and I put together was just a joy to make and to listen to. I count that as one of the best albums I've ever been involved with."[citation needed]

who did he allegedly "say" this to?

my brother once suggested to me that we create and maintain wikipedia entries about each other, and i looked at him like he'd just said "hey let's cut our thumbs off and drink sewage."

What, out of your thumb holes?

Brandyn "H*Wood" Bordeaux (born March 6, 1988)[1] is an American born mash-up recording artist. H*Wood is a proud Denver, Colorado musician whose music reflects his elecletic upbringing ranging between electronic, pop, dance and dub-step all while effortlessly rapping the lyrics; the style is considered to be innovative considering electronic and dub-step are generally genres known for its music production rather than its lyrics.

Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970, Lihue - Kaua'i, Hawaii) is an Hawaiian singer and songwriter of Portuguese descent who was a mega-star in the late 80s and 90s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen_Hyphen

Hyphen Hyphen is a French electropop band from Nice. Santa sings in English with Line and Adam. Their albums — Times, HH, and C'est La Vie — hyphenate Europe and North America in international tour."

I already thought "sings in English with Line and Adam" was weird, but "their albums hyphenate europe," really now.

I'm guessing Stanley Wood might have written the wiki page of Showaddywaddy drummer, Romeo Challenger.

Challenger also dabbled in drum teaching. Although he wasn't able to make such an iconic career out of this (unlike his music career) he had one pupil by the name of Stanley Wood. Hours of lessons later and Stanley Wood formed the band Ant Hill, who dominate the music scene in Leicester. Famously, Wood has also gone on to create multiple films such as All In, November 18th, and The Curse of Black Annis, using music from Challenger's band Showaddywaddy.

Romeo going “Stanley Wood? Never heard of him.”

Widescreen Mode’s members are no strangers to playing together, the four-some originally formed the band Fairlane until career decisions in the 1990s forced them to split up and move on. When drummer Janne Aaltonen and singer Samu Brusila both moved back to Riihimäki they began discussing the possibility of forming another band. But, in the words of singer Brusila they were just that; discussions. Finally Aaltonen's fiancé intervened; tired of hearing them discuss it but never do anything about it.

After leaving his first band, AutoVaughn, Wilson settled into a stable job in the research and development department of Mars’ food-science lab. There, he thrived professionally, married his wife, and moved to the countryside to raise his stepson, Henry. Yet, despite the outward success, he couldn’t shake his obsession with songwriting. Even in the lab, he found himself scribbling lyrics and melodies, a compulsion that had taken root years earlier on a school bus listening to country music. That seed, planted long ago, was now sprouting uncontrollably, pulling him toward a different life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowerhead

The seeds of Flowerhead were originally planted deep underground by founding members Eric Faust (Lead Vocals, Bass, Guitars) and Buz Zoller (Guitars, Vocals) in 1987. With the addition of Eric Schmitz (Guitars, Vocals) in 1989 and Pete Levine (Drums, Vocals) in 1990, the roots took hold. The unassuming rock band, working in the sweaty club environments of Austin, Texas and nearby cities and states, began its campaign to enter the music world with their independently produced 4-track, cassette only release "Turmoil in the Toybox".

After being "discovered" (buying and listening to Turmoil) by CMJ (College Media Journal) veteran Scott Byron (A&R guru for BMG label Zoo Entertainment), the band was quickly signed following feverish live performances preceding and during Austin's popular South by Southwest Music Festival. (...)

With the addition of drummer Kyle Thomas (Course of Empire, Reverend Horton Heat), 1994's The People's Fuzz was recorded in Austin (Willie Nelson's Arlyn Studio) with co-producer Robbie Adams (U2). As stated in the liner notes, Danny Levin (Asleep at the Wheel) blessed the record with his fiddle, most notably on "Cows" and the loop in "Arise".

Mixing was done at Chick Corea's Mad Hatter Studios, but changes were needed as before with Ka-Bloom!. Without the presence of Adams, and again with engineer extraordinaire "Supermodel" Jim Wilson, additional tracks were added as well as remixes for many of the songs on the record.

From 1994 - 1995, the Zoo bands felt the impact of BMG's "downsizing" of their "indie" label. Flowerhead continued touring, including a brief time with Cheap Trick, until the summer of 1995 when they decided to go on a hiatus. The band has remained on hiatus, but promises to reform and rock the world when both are ready.
