House of Cat Do you know where the phrase Cold Turkey comes from? How about Jump on the Bandwagon? Satisfy the word-nerd in you with some phrase origins.

Interesting how we use phrases that we all understand yet don’t really know what they mean. The following are a few phrase origins so we know what we’re talking about.

House of Cat Best Christmas DrumBreak Ever.

In 1968, Cadet Records, the jazz subsidiary of the legendary Chess Records in Chicago hired Richard Evans to arrange a series of orchestral albums of current pop hits. The Soulful Strings were born and the rest is holiday crate digging history.

Thank you. This has now replaced "Do they know it's Christmas time again" you stuck in my head the other day. You are forgiven.

House of Cat Remember Band Aid? The Do They Know It's Christmas supergroup? Thought so.

www.houseofcat.net
In 1984, Irish singer Bob Geldof saw a news report on the famine in Ethopia. Apparently it made quite an impact, as Geldof was moved to do some fundraising to help. He called Midge Ure from Ultravox and together they wrote the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas.”

House of Cat Shepard Fairey, Obama and OBEY

www.houseofcat.net
OBEY What?When I started seeing Andre the Giant/OBEY stickers around town, I assumed it was an in-joke with local kids. Then I saw them in San Francisco, Austin, Los Angeles, Oahu, Durango and Salt Lake and began to wonder. ...

So you know that there was an outcome in the Obama case, and that Fairey admitted guilt to some pretty unsavory acts, right?
