1. Started in the late 1990s, and broke up in 2000 formed by Rachel Carns and Radio Sloan as a "queercore band".
2. Originated in Brisbane, Australia by Bradley Stokes, Pharos Roche, and Steven Leslie in March, 2012. (Alternative Rock)
1. The Need was a queercore band that originated in Olympia, Washington in the late 1990s. It was formed by Rachel Carns (drums and vocals) and Radio Sloan (guitar and bass guitar); both were veterans of other indie rock bands. Carns was previously in Kicking Giant, The Fakes, Witchypoo, Slant 6. Both members of The Need were in CeBe Barnes Band along with Miranda July and Sleater-Kinney drummer Toni Gogin. The Need made their debut in Olympia, Washington, and, in the summer of 1996, they played at the Dirtybird Queercore Festival in San Francisco.
The band's first project was Margie Ruskie Stops Time, released in 1996 by Kill Rock Stars, on which The Need provided the music to accompany the words and vocals of Miranda July. July also performed with the band at the Dirty Bird Festival.
Their last album, recorded in 2000, was titled The Need Is Dead. On this recording they further expanded their range of instrumentation with the addition of synthesizer and samples contributed by Joe Preston of The Melvins; and theremin, played by producer Mike Lastra of Smegma.
After the band parted ways, Carns now performs in the band Twin, formerly called King Cobra, while Sloan has been in the bands The Circuit Side, Fact or Fiction and Courtney Love's recent all-female backing band The Chelsea. Additionally, she did a guest stint with L.A. band Scarling, and played guitar on Le Tigre's 2005 album This Island.
In 2010 the band briefly reunited for a handful of benefit shows for their friend Natalie Cox, in order to help with her medical expenses. *Bio from Wikipedia.*
2. The Need started out as an idea by Bradley, Pharos, and Steven in February, 2012. The three of them met through the worship band they played in at their local church.
Their first and current project is their six track self-titled EP which is set to be released later in 2012. They are currently unsigned, and simply enjoying playing in pubs, and schools around Brisbane promoting it themselves.
Crown
The Need Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under your crown I have found everything.
Nine years down and a mile wide
Nine years down and a mile wide
I watch you clone yourself.
Nine years down and a mile wide
Infect yourself with your friends.
You are king, I am feeling so detrimental.
Under your crown I have found everything.
Nine years down and a mile wide
Nine years down and a mile wide
I watch you clone yourself.
Nine years down and a mile wide
Infect yourself with your friends.
Bring me back my arms in a fur-lined box
Bring me back my heart from the chopping block
Bring me back my heart in a headlock
Bring me back my head by 11: 00
The Need's song "Crown" paints a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship marked by a power imbalance. The lyrics suggest that one partner takes on the role of a "king" and holds all the power, while the other partner feels "detrimental" as a result. The lines "Under your crown I have found everything" imply that the king's power extends to every aspect of the relationship, leaving their partner feeling trapped and suffocated.
The chorus repeats the lines "Nine years down and a mile wide / I watch you clone yourself / Infect yourself with your friends." These lyrics suggest that the king is becoming increasingly narcissistic, surrounding themselves with people who reinforce their sense of superiority. Meanwhile, their partner is left feeling alienated and powerless.
The song's bridge is particularly intense, with the lines "Bring me back my arms in a fur-lined box / Bring me back my heart from the chopping block / Bring me back my heart in a headlock / Bring me back my head by 11:00." These lyrics suggest that the partner is willing to do whatever it takes to regain control and agency in the relationship, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being.
Overall, "Crown" is a powerful portrayal of a toxic relationship marked by a power imbalance and emotional abuse.

I like that you're a medical professional that has morals beyond your wallet. I used to work in a pharmacy as the lead tech and kept our store number one in the district and would still constantly get into trouble for letting people know that they didn't always have to buy those outrageously expensive medications that would do more harm than good in some situations..I left because I started realizing that I had different morals than that industry. It's funny how most medical and pharmaceutical professionals will almost always take care of their own wallet first and recommend the expensive treatment that isn't always 100% necessary rather than looking out for the patients best interests in all aspects. You, sir, deserve a slow clap.

Our cost per crown is the same as a root canal.

A Dream LYFE: SURVIVING NARCISSISTIC DECEPTION
Thanks so much for this video. It's so refreshing to hear your perspective. I came up during an awful time in dentistry in New York City I think, where dentists usually took the worst case scenario approach. I'm paying for it now in big bucks to correct my teeth and structure. I have so much tooth and gun damage, and shifting, from excessive fillings, extractions, root canals, etc. over the years. Soon we will be addressing a tiny chip I've been carrying in my front chopper tooth (this tooth is the sister of my favorite 2 front teeth). I refused any dentist who tried to touch it. It's barely visible, however, I know I have to get to it. Now I'm working with a dentist I trust and when we get to that tooth I'll be sure to bring this up. Great info here.

Hi there doc, 3rd year dental student here! This is a great video and you explained everything behind the decision making in a simple and entertaining way! Glad I came across your channel!

I implicitly trust my dentist; I know dozens of people who have him and not a one has a bad thing to say about him. He works with his patients on effective treatments for their problems, and has never encouraged a patient into cosmetic crap they can't afford, and is skilled at keeping you from feeling pain during procedure and is the kindest sort of guy you'd ever want to know. He does spread himself a bit thin, but he services three small towns (along with his family; they all work in dentistry in some fashion or other). Otherwise, no dentist would set up shop in one small town with a low population by itself...they'd never make enough to keep running. The family rotates their dentists so that no town is without a dentist, six days a week.
Well, said dentist checked my teeth after a recent trauma (accidentally biting down on something hard; I feared two cracked teeth). Well, the bottom one was undamaged except for being a bit sprained in the ligament, but the top one's root was dead and had been for perhaps a few months; long enough for a minor infection to sneak in. Until the biting mishap, it had never shown itself in any way. It was afterwards I felt pain, but it still showed no other signs...not even the crack I feared.
Still, after that I had two options. Root canal/crown, or extraction/dental bridge. I chose the former, for simplicity's sake and so I'd not have to smile with an extra hole in my face. He was kind enough to build up a passable tooth over the sealed hole afterwards with composite, so I wasn't embarrassed about smiling with the temporary filling. I must wait three weeks because they had to take many photos of the procedure as I underwent it, to prove that I needed it as an emergency procedure due to infection (so the cost of the canal was covered). After this, I'll be able to be fitted for a crown and have a temporary crown in place while it is made. Again, the cost is generally covered as it is required to restore health and function to my mouth. I have not had cavities in years and my dentist assured me that the dead root was nothing I had done...sometimes, it just happens. The tooth had been serviced before, many years ago, and had simply failed at some point in the recent past.

I’ve worked in the healthcare sector for 25 years so I love to see healthcare professionals who are passionate and innovative. Thinking outside the box to improve life for your patients is really exciting. Wishing you continued success. Also I wish you would expand to Ireland we need improvement in our dental sector.
