1) The solo career of Jenn Champion; co-leader of Seattle's sorely missed Carissa's Wierd. On her second full-length record, Puking and Crying, Champion together with Josh Wackerly and Creighton Barrett, collect dark and hauntingly intimate songs, surely classified as organic even with the strange electronics, drum loops, blips and clicks involved. Puking and Crying has an up-close feel to it, a direct look into the songwriter.
2) S (Group S) is also a Korean trio with members Kang Ta, Lee Ji Hoon and Shin Hye Sung (of Shinhwa). S stands for "Supreme". They released their debut album, Fr.in.Cl, in September 2003 and in 2005 they participated with the new song 숨 (Breath) on the soundtrack for the Korean movie April Snow.

R'via and left the aforementioned group to create their own basic visual group "with plenty of makeup and bondage wear." The three met Reina (dr) at college and, through a mutual friend, met Miyamichi (vo). With his arrival, the first lineup of S was now set.
4) Polish jazz/rock/black metal performed on bass, clarinet, drums and vocals.
5) Canadian music producer and alternative hip-hop artist living in Southern Ontario, Canada. Born Steven Simpson in Nova Scotia, Canada. A long time producer, engineer, multi - instrumentalist and songwriter, S Recorded and released "Got a Love Woman" himself. The Never to Forever EP was released by Late Night Sound in November 2008.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He want to shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia, but now
He can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do?
Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cause killers in America work
Seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do?
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do?
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do?
Move up, Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA
The lyrics of the song "I'm So Bored I'm Going to Sleep" by S speak about the boredom and dissatisfaction that the singer is experiencing with the United States of America. The opening lines of the song refer to a Yankee soldier who wants to shoot some drugs (skag) but can't afford it anymore. It is suggested that the soldier had previously encountered drugs in Cambodia during the Vietnam War, but is now unable to purchase them. The song then mentions the Yankee dollar and how it is used by the US to influence and control other nations. The lyrics state that the US issues instructions to the world's dictators and they cannot afford to miss a single word.
The song expresses frustration about the constant presence of crime and violence in the United States. The reference to Yankee detectives being always on TV portrays the crime rate as unending, with killers working seven days a week. Alongside the violent portrayal of the country, the song suggests that the government is corrupt. The lyrics encourage the printing of the Watergate Tapes – a scandal involving the illegal activities of President Nixon's administration. The song ends by expressing boredom with the U.S.A, with the singer unable to find a way to escape the monotony.
