    Ptilotula

    Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

    The random article for Monday, 6 May 2024 is Ptilotula.

    Ptilotula is a genus of honeyeater consisting of species occurring in Australia and Papua New Guinea. The genus consists of six former members of Lichenostomus, and was created after a molecular analysis showed the genus was polyphyletic. The International Ornithologists' Union accepted this change and officially included the genus in reference lists from 2013. The type species is the yellow-tinted honeyeater (Ptilotula flavescens). Birds in this genus typically occupy dry open forest and woodland habitats, and can be found in arid and semi-arid environments.

    Anacrônico

    Anacrônico

    Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

    The random article for Saturday, 4 May 2024 is Anacrônico.

    Anacrônico (Portuguese: [ɐnaˈkɾoniku]; Anachronistic) is the second album by Brazilian rock singer Pitty.

    In 2006 the album was re-released in the DualDisc format version. It has the music video "Anacrônico", the photo gallery of their respective eponymous album and a documentary regarding the recording.

    In the documentary "Sessões Anacrônicas" (Anachronistic Sessions), we can check the recording sessions for the CD, conducted by Rafael Ramos (ex-Cosmic Baba). In this we can notice the relaxation and Pitty band, the satisfaction that the CD is being made of uncompromising fashion (Pitty even says that the success of the first CD did not press somehow). Call attention the work of Bahia on vocals, especially on the track "A Saideira" and in doideiras that happened in the studio.

    This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:13 UTC on Saturday, 4 May 2024.

    For the full current version of the article, see Anacrônico on Wikipedia.

    Peter "Mars" Cowling

    Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

    The random article for Friday, 3 May 2024 is Peter "Mars" Cowling.

    Peter "Mars" Cowling (May 26, 1946 – March 20, 2018) was an English bass guitarist, best known for his work with Canadian blues rock guitarist Pat Travers.

    Cowling for many years lived in Grimsby where, in 1962, he formed The Syndicate with Steve Mills on vocals, Frank Singleton on lead guitar, Doug Hollingworth rhythm guitar, Geoff Smith on piano, and John Smith on drums. This band played covers of tracks by Elmore James, Ray Charles, Rufus Thomas, Bobby Troup, and John Lee Hooker. After that, Cowling played in British groups including Gnidrolog and the Flying Hat Band, before joining forces with Pat Travers in 1975.

    Cowling recorded eight albums for Travers from 1976 to 1982. He left Travers that year and later in the 1980s joined sisters Pam and Paula Mattioli in US AOR band Gypsy Queen (later to become Cell Mates in the early 1990s after Cowling's time in the band), appearing at the 1987 Reading Rock Festival and on Gypsy Queen's debut album before leaving the band later the same year. He rejoined Travers in 1989, and remained until 1993. He performed on Travers' singles "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" and "Snortin' Whiskey". Cowling was also featured on two video releases. The first was Hooked On Music, a live performance originally shot for the German television programme, Rockpalast in 1976, which showcased an early line-up that also included Nicko McBrain. Cowling's other video appearance was Boom Boom-Live At The Diamond Club, a 1991 concert filmed in Toronto, that also featured Jerry Riggs.

    Cowling died on March 20, 2018, after having been diagnosed in February with an aggressive form of Leukemia.

    Cryptid whale

    Cryptid whale

    Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

    The random article for Thursday, 2 May 2024 is Cryptid whale.

    Cryptid whales are cetaceans claimed to exist by cryptozoologists on the basis of informal sightings, but not accepted by taxonomists as they lack formal descriptions of type specimens. Over the past few hundred years, sailors and whalers have reported seeing whales they cannot identify. The most well-known are Giglioli's Whale, the rhinoceros dolphin, Trunko, the high-finned sperm whale, and the Alula whale.

    This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Thursday, 2 May 2024.

    For the full current version of the article, see Cryptid whale on Wikipedia.
