Mimi Goese
Mimi Goese (last name rhymes with hazy) is the former vocalist for dream pop band Hugo Largo. She also appeared in the 1996 short film Black Kites, directed by Jo Andres.
Her singing has been acclaimed by the press. Melody Maker said, "Mimi’s voice conjures up a long plummet through white light and space. It’s like a parachutist still in free fall, who seems briefly weightless and adrift in an ocean of air."
Solo album (1998)
Under the name Mimi (no last name) she has released one solo album, Soak, on the Luaka Bop label, with contributions from French record producer Hector Zazou. She also released a cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" as a single. .
Collaborations
Two collaborations with Moby, tracks "Into the Blue" and "When It's Cold I'd Like to Die", appear on Moby's 1995 album Everything Is Wrong. The latter song was heard during the closing credits of The Sopranos episode "Join the Club".)
In 2006, Goese collaborated and performed onstage with the "mutantrumpeter" Ben Neill on a project called XIX. In 2010, the duo collaborated on a musical theater piece titled "Persephone", which was premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's 2010 Next Wave Festival. Goese and Neill were commissioned by BAM to create the staged work (co-starring actress Julia Stiles) with multimedia company Ridge Theater. "Persephone" With a book by Tony Award-winning playwright Warren Leight, it grew out of the 19th-century musical themes that Goese and Neill were exploring. An album featuring music from the project, Songs for Persephone, was released by Ramseur Records in August 2011.
I spy
I spy is a guessing game where the Spy or It says "I spy with my little eye..." and players have to guess the object the Spy saw.
Rules
Traditionally the game is played inside a car, though eHow recommends airports, waiting rooms and around the house as objects can go by too quickly when moving. About Parenting recommends it for "doctor's offices, restaurants and other places where you sometimes have to wait with kids", and also discourages its use in moving cars. The way players choose who will be the Spy/It can range from the noncompetitive alternating of turns to a game of skill/chance such as rock, paper, scissors. The Spy silently selects an object that is visible to all the players and does not reveal their choice. They then say, "I spy with my little eye something beginning with ...", naming the letter the chosen object starts with (e.g. "I spy with my little eye something beginning with C" if the chosen object is a car). An alternative version is substituting the initial letter for an adjective such as the colour of the object (e.g. "I spy with my little eye something blue"), while another is to say "I Spy with my little eye something that sounds like". Some sites such as About Parenting describe the letter version has the variant to the colour-based game. This site has the form "I spy something, and it's blue" as the traditional version, deeming "I spy with my little eye..." as an alternative. Having clues based on an object's shape is another alternative, while quick thinkers can deliberately choose objects that can only be seen for a limited amount of time. Howcast notes that looking at an object when announcing its colour is a "dead giveaway" so this should be avoided. Another variation that encourages language development involves the Spy giving various descriptive clues, such as describing a watch as "something that made of metal and glass that makes a quiet noise".
I-Spy (Michelin)
The I-SPY books are spotters' guides written for British children, and particularly successful in the 1950s and 1960s in their original form and again when relaunched by Michelin in 2009 after a seven-year gap in publishing.
The I-SPY Tribe was based on the I-SPY Books, some forty small volumes that sold in hundreds of thousands. Each book covered a subject such as I-SPY Cars, I-SPY on the Pavement, I-SPY Churches, I-SPY on a Train Journey, etc. As children spotted objects such as coalhole covers, oak trees, semaphore signals, fire engines, whelks, and so on, they recorded the event in the relevant book, and gained points. Once the book was complete, it could be sent to Big Chief I-SPY for a feather and order of merit.
Background
The company was supposedly run by a Red Indian chief called Big Chief I-Spy. The original Big Chief I-Spy was Charles Warrell, a former head master who created I-Spy towards the end of his working life. He retired in 1956, but lived on until 1995 when he died at the age of 106. After Warrell's retirement his assistant Arnold Cawthrow became the second Big Chief, and served in this role until 1978. For part of this time he also worked as an antiques dealer in Islington. He died in 1993, and is commemorated by a stone plaque placed on the outside of the Boatmen's Rooms, the house where he spent some of his last years in Deal, Kent. Members of the I-Spy Tribe were called Redskins, and the head office was variously known as the Wigwam by the Water or the Wigwam-by-the-Green. The former was located for some years next to the Mermaid Theatre at Blackfriars, while the latter was in London's Edgware Road.
I Spy (band)
I Spy was a Canadian hardcore punk band founded in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1991, relocated to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1994, and disbanded in 1996. Combining childish humour and politically oriented emotive hardcore, the group released several records on Recess Records and toured internationally. Front man Todd Kowalski later joined Propagandhi.
History
Career
Originally called Clump (alternately Klump), the band was composed of lead singer and guitarist Todd Kowalski ("Todd the Rod"), lead guitarist Jeromy Van Dusen ("Rary"), bassist Juan David Guerrero ("Guido" or "Olive"), and drummer James Ash ("Jimmy Juice Pig"). With a blend of childish humour and serious, radical left wing political subject matter, the band garnered a following in the Canadian punk rock scene behind several releases on Recess Records and extensive touring.
In 1994, the band released a split 10" record with fellow Winnipeg band Propagandhi, and the two bands toured together throughout western Canada that year. Later in 1994, the band toured throughout the Midwestern United States independently. In 1995, they toured the western United States, western Canada, and Europe. Van Dusen left the band in 1995 after the band's European tour, reducing them to a three-piece in their latter days. The final lineup found bassist Sean Talarico replacing Guerrero, who moved back to Regina.

I spy
by: Children Of The CpuEvery boy I meet thinks I should be a rock star
I don't even know how to play guitar
Every boy I meet thinks I act like a porn star
I'm just a girl who's never been loved
I'm just a girl who's never been loved
And I'm just a girl who's never been in love
Every boy I meet wants to protect me
And keep me safe from myself
Every boy I meet ends up just rejecting me
But not before I reject myself
I'm just a girl who's never been loved
And I'm just a girl who's never been in love
I'm just a girl who's smarter than you think
And I'm just a girl who's stronger than you think
Every boy I meet tries to write my song
