In the United States:
Thurman is a town in the western part of Warren County, New York, United States. It is part of the Glens Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town population was 1,199 at the 2000 census. The town is named after John Thurman, an early landowner. The town lies entirely inside the Adirondack Park.
John Thurman was one of a group of investors who started the town's settlement in 1790 at Elm Hill. The town of Thurman was established in 1792. Originally the town was called Athol by early settlers, but when Warren County was established in 1813, much of the town was lost to the new town of Warrensburg and the remainder was still called Athol. Athol was divided in 1852 to form the town of Thurman and the town of Stony Creek.
Besides the town of Thurman, the town of Johnsburg is also named after John Thurman.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 92.8 square miles (240 km2), of which, 91.3 square miles (236 km2) of it is land and 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2) of it (1.58%) is water.
Thurman were an English rock band heralding from Oxfordshire comprising brothers Nicholas Kenny, (Lead Vocals + Guitar) Simon Kenny (Bass + Additional vocals) plus Paul Disley (Drums). Heavily associated with the Britpop movement, rumors circulated at the time that they had originally been called '2 Die 4' -- a heavy metal band that saw heavy rotation on MTV and American rock radio with their one hit wonder "You Got What It Takes" in the early 1990s with Andy Shaw on vocals. After Shaw's departure, they changed their name and music style as to be snapped up by a record label in the wake of the success of Blur and the mid-'90s UK music resurgence. Thurman's chirpy '60s-influenced retro sound was similar to one produced by a number of artists in 1995 at the height of Britpop mania.
Their sole album 'Lux' was derided by some critics who found it lacking in depth and derided its near-plagiarism of a number of songs, most noticeably 'Children of the Revolution' by T-Rex on the track 'Loaded.' Despite some positive reviews at the time, Thurman's time in the spotlight was limited, along with numerous other minor league bands associated with Britpop, such as Salad and Powder.
Richard Khouri was kind enough to share this reel with me.
