Days Go By (The Offspring album)

Days Go By is the ninth studio album by American punk rock band The Offspring, released on June 26, 2012 on Columbia. Produced by Bob Rock, the album is the band's first to feature drummer Pete Parada, who joined the band a year prior to the release of Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008). The drum tracks were also recorded by session musician Josh Freese, who provided the same role on the band's previous two albums. Days Go By is The Offspring's last release on Columbia before they announced in early 2013 that they had fulfilled their contract with the label.

The Offspring commenced work on Days Go By in 2009, with plans to release it in 2010. However, its release was pushed back several times while the band continued touring and writing new material. The writing and recording process spanned three years and six recording studios (four in California, one in Hawaii and one in Canada) and was finished in March 2012. During the recording sessions, The Offspring re-recorded "Dirty Magic" (from their 1992 album Ignition), which serves as the album's ninth track.

Michael Van Patrick

Michael "Mike" Ian Van Patrick is a fictional comic book character created by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli. Although the character himself is deceased, and in fact died in the issue he first appeared in, the character is said to have been cloned after his death, with his clones continuing to play roles within the ongoing Avengers: The Initiative series.

Described by Slott as an archetypal "all-American boy", the character is introduced in the pages of Avengers: The Initiative #1 as the great-grandson of Dr. Abraham Erskine, the inventor of the super soldier serum within Marvel Comics' shared universe the Marvel Universe, before being subsequently killed at the end of that first issue.

The first clone replaced Michael, and was sent back to his parent's home to prevent them from learning of his death. The next three clones, named Michael, Van, and Patrick, originally worked as the Scarlet Spiders, as part of the Black Ops group within The Initiative. They were revealed to be clones in Avengers: The Initiative #7. He was cloned once more, in the Killed in Action story arc when plans were made to fill some of the vacant positions in the Initiative teams with MVP clones.

Most Valuable Player

In sports, a Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is an honor typically bestowed upon the best-performing player (or players) in an entire league, for a particular competition, or on a specific team. Initially used in professional sports, the term is now also commonly used in amateur sports, as well as in other completely unrelated fields such as business and music. In many sports, MVP awards are presented for a specific match—in other words, a man of the match award.

The term is most common in the United States and Canada. In other cases, "Player of the Year" is used. In Australia, Australian rules football clubs and leagues use the term "Best and Fairest", while those playing rugby league use "Player of the Year", such as the Dally M Medal. The National Basketball League, however, uses the American-style "MVP" for its awards. Insofar as there is a distinction between an MVP and a Player of the Year, a "player of the year" describes the greatest individual talent, while a "most valuable player" is a person most responsible for their team's success.

M.V.P. (song)

"M.V.P." is a song recorded by American rapper Big L. The track was produced by Lord Finesse for L's debut studio album, Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous (1995). The song was written by Coleman, M.D. DeBarge, R. Hall, and E. Jordan. The song was released in 1995 as the second single from the album through Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment. The original version samples "Stay With Me" by DeBarge. The acronym M.V.P. stands for "most valuable poet".
