Bossanova is the third studio album by the American rock band Pixies. It was released in August 13, 1990 on the English independent record label4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. All of Bossanova's original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; this was a first for a Pixies album, but he has written all of their songs since. The album's sound, inspired by surf rock and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.
Because of 4AD's independent status, major label Elektra Records handled distribution in the United States; Bossanova reached number 70 on the Billboard 200. The album peaked at number three in the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were released from Bossanova, "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire"; both charted on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, at #4 and #11, respectively.
Background and recording
After Pixies finished touring obligations for their second album Doolittle (1989) in January 1990, band members Black Francis, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering moved from Boston to Los Angeles. Bassist Kim Deal meanwhile stayed in the UK to record the first Breeders album during January with producer Steve Albini. Deal ultimately decided to travel out to Los Angeles with the rest of the group. Lovering stated that he, Santiago, and Black Francis moved to Los Angeles because that's where they intended to record. The three band members lived in the Oakwood apartments, along with comic Garrett Morris and members of the band White Lion. Producer Gil Norton also moved into the apartment complex.
Bossanova is a Canadian musical group formed in Vancouver in 1997. The principal member is guitarist/vocalist Chris Storrow. The group currently has released one 7 inch, one EP, one LP, and has contributed to several compilations.
Their most recent release is Hey, Sugar on Teenbeat Records. Members past and present include: Mike Boegh, Tony Koelwyn, Kurt Dahle, Shawn Mrazek, Megan Bradfield, Gregory Macdonald, Elaine Fung, Heather Campbell, Brian Weiser.
The eclectic band blends soul, disco, pop, new wave, folk, and psychedelia
Technology ("science of craft", from Greekτέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.
The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment. Developments in historic times, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. The steady progress of military technology has brought weapons of ever-increasing destructive power, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Prime-8 from Bossa Nova Robotics
Not your typical primate, Prime-8 is the ultimate robotic playmate whose design was inspired by the way real boys play. Using innovative robotic biped technology, Prime-8 is a fast, powerful, and fun gorilla robot with a strong personality. Prime-8 has Good Gorilla, Gone Bananas, and Guard personalities. Triggered by clapping or loud noises, Prime-8's personality radically transforms from a friendly, funny gorilla with blue eyes into his Gone Bananas personality, beating the floor and roaring from the top of his lungs, with circuits crackling and furious red eyes! When Prime-8 is in his Guard personality, he protects his owner and his owner's bedroom by firing rubber-tipped safety rockets at intruders, such as mom, dad, or a little sister. http://www.timetoplaymag.com/toys/2000/bossa-nova-...
