The secret to success for most bands is to start by doing a cover of another artists' songs. Even The Beatles did it. The Rifles are no exception and I've decided to chronicle their covers so far. You can click on the links to download The Rifles version of each song.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't have that cover. It was done over radio apparently. You can still hear The Rifles playing a part of it in the video here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5168621

ReplyDeleteLEDs, first developed in the early 1960s, produce light
ReplyDeleteby moving electrons through a semiconductor. Implementation of
solar energy has environmental costs that may hamper its application on large-scale operations
to reduce its impact. The much talked about drawback, the
lack of evenly distributed light in LED lamps too has been now satisfactorily sorted out by Sharp with their proprietary coating technique of the glass enclosure.
