categories: Lil' Chief Records artists,Living people

paragraph: Jonathan Bree

paragraph: Jonathan Bree is a singer-songwriter and producer from New Zealand, best known for his work as a solo artist, as well as co-founding the indie pop group The Brunettes, in 1998 and Lil' Chief Records, in 2002. He frequently collaborates with label-mates as a musician, engineer, and record producer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Jonathan Bree was born in the late 1970s in New Zealand. Mark Lyons, frontman of indie pop band The Nudie Suits, was both Bree's cousin and a mentor in Bree's formative years. When Bree was ten, Lyons introduced him to Modern Lovers, with Bree becoming a long-term fan. At 12 years old, Bree first played live (and recorded) as the drummer in Lyons' band, The Plaster Saints.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: The Brunettes were formed in Auckland in 1998 by Bree and Heather Mansfield. According to Bree, "My cousin had recorded her band Yoko and I thought she had a great natural voice, no silly effected delivery. I was looking for a girl to sing on some duets I had written so I tracked down her number." The band independently released its first recording "Mars Loves Venus EP" in 1998.

paragraph: In 2002, Bree founded Lil' Chief Records with fellow indie pop musician Scott Mannion of The Tokey Tones. The two men had met that year in Marbecks Record Store in Auckland, where Bree was working at the time. The Brunettes' album "Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks" released in 2002 was the debut release for the label. The album received a glowing review from Allmusic, as did the label's second release, The Brunette's 2003 "The Boyracer EP". Bree produced both albums. The next two albums on the label were released simultaneously in 2003 by The Tokey Tones, and Bree guested on some of the tracks.

paragraph: Bree went on to release several more albums on Lil' Chief with The Brunettes. Their second album "Mars Loves Venus" was released in June 2004 followed by 2005's EP "When Ice Met Cream". In 2004, Ryan McPhun started playing in band, who opened for The Shins 2005 tour of North America. They have also opened for Rilo Kiley, The Postal Service, Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Beirut and played at the 2006 Big Day Out festivals in New Zealand and Australia.

paragraph: The Brunette's album "Structure & Cosmetics" was released in July 2007 in New Zealand and August in the US, on Sub Pop. Their UK profile was lifted after their track "BABY" was featured in a UK campaign in December 2007, and the release of their music video. In 2008, The Brunettes covered The Cure's "Lovesong" for American Laundromat Records tribute compilation "Just Like Heaven - a tribute to The Cure".

paragraph: In 2009, The Brunettes released the "Red Rollerskates EP" on Lil' Chief, shortly followed by "Paper Dolls". In 2010, their song "Red Rollerskates" was included in soundtrack of the 2K Sports video game "NBA 2K11". "Brunettes Against Bubblegum Youth" was featured on an extended advertisement for "Hollyoaks" in the UK.

paragraph: His first work post-Brunettes was as a co-producer on the Princess Chelsea album, "Lil' Golden Book". He also supplied vocals for the song, "The Cigarette Duet" and directed the accompanying music video, which subsequently went viral - reaching nearly 40 million views in the years that followed.

paragraph: Bree's first work as a solo artist came in 2013 with the release of "The Primrose Path". His next album, "A Little Night Music", followed in 2015. Yet his big breakthrough came in the lead-up to his third album, when the song "You're So Cool" became a sensation on YouTube - drawing viewers with its odd depiction of a 60s style band whose faces were covered in spandex masks. It soon surpassed 1 million views.

paragraph: John Broome (politician)

paragraph: John Broome (July 19, 1738 – August 8, 1810) was an American merchant and politician who was Lieutenant Governor of New York, from 1804 to 1810.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Broome was born on Staten Island in the Province of New York on July 19, 1738. He was the youngest of four children born to Samuel Broome (1685/93–1771), a staunch Presbyterian, and Marie (née LaTourette) Broome (1693–1774). His maternal grandparents were Jean LaTourette and Marie Mercereau, who were French Huguenots.

paragraph: Broome studied law with William Livingston, but about 1762 abandoned a legal career to join his brother Samuel in a partnership to import British goods.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1775, Broome joined the military for the American Revolution when he was appointed lieutenant colonel of the Second New York City Regiment of militia, which was commanded by John Jay.

paragraph: He was a member of the New York Provincial Congress from 1775 to 1777, and a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention in 1777.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Post-Revolutionary War.

paragraph: He was an Alderman in 1783-84 and 1785–86, and New York City Treasurer in 1784. He was the president of the New York City Chamber of Commerce from 1785 to 1794, and was engaged in the trade with India and China at that time. He is said to have launched the importation of tea from China with an initial shipment of 2 million pounds.

paragraph: In August 1795, during an outbreak of yellow fever, he was the chairman of the city's Health Committee, appointed by Governor George Clinton the previous year, and kept on by Clinton's rival John Jay despite Broome's prominence at a partisan rally to oppose the treaty Jay had just negotiated with the British, since health was not considered a partisan issue. The health committee denied there was an epidemic and played down the number of deaths, attributing them to other causes.

paragraph: Broome twice ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Congress; first in March 1789 against Federalist candidate John Laurance, and then again in April 1802 against Federalist candidate Joshua Sands. Broome was a member from New York County of the New York State Assembly in 1800-01 and 1802, and a member of the New York State Senate in 1804.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Lieutenant Governor of New York.

paragraph: Broome was elected Lieutenant Governor of New York three times, serving from July 1804 until his death in office in August 1810. He initially defeated Oliver Phelps in 1804, and then won re-election over Thomas Storm in 1807 and Nicholas Fish in 1810. He served under two Governors of New York—first under Morgan Lewis (1804–1807), and then under Daniel D. Tompkins (1807–1810). Broome's death occurred a month into his third term, so that at first the President pro tempore of the State Senate John Tayler became acting lieutenant governor, and in April 1811 DeWitt Clinton won a special election to serve for the remainder of the term.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: On October 19, 1769, he married Rebecca Lloyd (1747–1800) and they had several children, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- John Lloyd Broome (d. 1836), who was the father of U.S. Navy officer John L. Broome (1824–1898).

paragraph: On July 9, 1806, Broome married Ruth Hunter (c.1757–1840), the widow of auctioneer Robert Hunter (c.1735–1800) and mother of State Senator John Hunter (1778–1852).

paragraph: Broome's remains were initially buried in the churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church in New York on Wall Street in New York City. However, they were moved in the 1840s when the church relocated to Fifth Avenue between 11th and 12th Streets in Greenwich Village in Manhattan.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Descendants.

Avary subsequently began teaching himself other instruments including the drums and piano.

paragraph: Avary joined his first band at the age of 14.

paragraph: Conrad II, Duke of Swabia

paragraph: Conrad II (February/March 1173 – August 15, 1196) was duke of Swabia from 1191 to his death and Duke of Rothenburg (1188–1191). He was the fourth son of Frederick III Barbarossa and Beatrice I, Countess of Burgundy, and brother of Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor.

paragraph: He was engaged to Berengaria of Castile in 1187, and knighted by Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1188. The marriage was never completed. At first it was delayed due to her young age. By 1191, she resisted the marriage and sought an annulment of the marriage treaty.

paragraph: In 1191, Conrad was present in Rome for the coronation of his brother, Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor. He then joined the Norman campaigns in Sicily in 1191 and 1194. A chronicler described Conrad as ""a man thoroughly given to adultery, fornication, defilement, and every foulness; nevertheless, he was vigorous and brave in battle and generous to his friends"."

paragraph: Conrad was murdered in Durlach in 1196, allegedly by the husband of a woman he had raped. Another story says that Conrad was bitten in the eye by a virgin he was attempting to rape, and that he died of the resulting infection.

paragraph: Nurul Amin

paragraph: Nurul Amin (, ; 15 July 1893 – 2 October 1974), referred to as the Patriot of Pakistan, was a prominent Pakistani leader, and a jurist. He is noted as being the last Bengali leader of Pakistan.

paragraph: Starting his statesmanship in 1948 as Chief Minister of East Bengal, he headed the Ministry of Supply. After participating in parliamentary elections in 1970, Amin was appointed and served as Prime Minister of Pakistan. He was the first and the only Vice President of Pakistan from 1970 till 1972, leading Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971.

paragraph: An anti-war and principal , Amin is considered a patriot who worked to keep Pakistan united. He initially opposed the creation of Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War – but after the 25 March massacre, devoted his position to reopening communication channels between the warring sides, curbing wartime crimes and repatriating Bengalis stranded in West Pakistan after Bangladeshi liberation.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Amin was born on 15 July 1893 to a Bengali Muslim family in Shahbazpur, in what was then undivided Bengal's Tippera District (now in Brahmanbaria District). He then moved with his family to Nandail Upazila in neighbouring Mymensingh District. In 1915, Amin passed the college entrance examination from Mymensingh Zilla School, joining Mymensingh Ananda Mohan College two years later to obtain his Intermediate in Arts (I.A); he graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature in 1919.

paragraph: After graduating, Amin took the position of teaching at the local school in Calcutta, but decided to pursue his career in law. In 1920, Amin began at the University of Calcutta; he gained an LLB in Law and Justice in 1924, and passed the Bar exam the same year. Amin started his career in law after joining the Mymensingh Judge Court Bar.

paragraph: Section::::Public service.

paragraph: In 1929, Amin was appointed as a member of Mymensingh Local Board, and later became a member of Mymensingh District Board in 1930. In 1932, the British Indian Government appointed Amin as commissioner of Mymensingh Municipality. In 1937, Amin was appointed as the Chairman of Mymensingh District Board, an assignment he continued until 1945.

paragraph: During this time, Amin's interest in politics increased. He became an early member of the Muslim League led by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. During this time, Amin was appointed President of the Muslim League's Mymensingh district unit. In 1944, he was elected vice president of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League.

paragraph: In 1945, Amin participated in Indian general elections, securing a landslide victory. He became a Member, and the following year was elected as the Speaker General of the Bengal Legislative Assembly.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.:Pakistan Movement.

paragraph: Amin became a trusted lieutenant of Mohammad Ali Jinnah in East Bengal, fighting for the rights of Bengali Muslims in British India. Amin took an active part in the Pakistan Movement, organising Bengali Muslims, while he continued to strengthen the Muslim League in Bengal.

paragraph: In 1946, Jinnah came to visit Bengal, where Amin assisted him. He promised the Bengali nation to build a democratic country. In East Bengal, Amin promoted the unity of Muslims. By the time of creation of Pakistan, Amin had become one of the leading advocates and activists of the Pakistan Movement; he had wide approval ratings by the Bengali population.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.:Chief Minister.

paragraph: Jinnah appointed Amin Chief Minister of East Bengal. Amin worked for the Muslim League in East Bengal, while continuing his relief programme for the population. As Chief Minister, his relations were significantly strained with Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan and Governor-General Khawaja Nazimuddin. Soon after the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan, Amin was appointed as Minister of Supply. He was elected as a member of the Pakistan National Assembly from 1947 until 1954.

paragraph: After the death of Jinnah, Amin was nominated as the Chief Minister of East Bengal in September 1948 by Khawaja Nazimuddin; who succeeded Jinnah as Governor General. Amin assumed the office of Chief Minister in a few weeks.

paragraph: Historians have noted that Nurul Amin's government was not strong enough to administer the provincial state; it was completely under the control of the central government of Nazimuddin. His government did not enjoy enough power, and lacked vision, imagination, and initiatives. Amin failed to counter the Communist Party's influence in the region, which widely took the credit for turning the language movement in 1952 into large unified mass protest.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.:Language Movement.

paragraph: During Amin's term as Chief Minister, Governor General Nazimuddin (also from East Bengal but an Urdu speaker) reiterated the federal government's position that while Bengali was the language of virtually all East Pakistanis as well as the majority of Pakistanis as a whole, it was not to be considered a national language on par with Urdu. In response, the Bengali Language Movement developed, and the ruling Muslim League lost popularity in East Pakistan. Both Nazimuddin and Amin failed to integrate the East Pakistani population with that of West Pakistan, and eventually the East Pakistan Muslim League lost significant administrative control of the province. Amin on other hand, held Communist Party responsible for this failure, accusing them as provoking the language movement.

paragraph: Public dissatisfaction with Amin had grown since October 1951, when Nazimuddin became Prime Minister. Amin expelled dissidents from within the ranks of the Muslim League, but doing so simply strengthened opposition to the party. In early 1952, students protested against Prime Minister Nazimuddin's declaration in the provincial capital Dacca (now Dhaka) that Urdu would be the sole national language. During the unrest, the civilian East-Pakistan police opened fire, killing four student activists. This raised more opposition in the region to the Muslim League. Prime Minister Bogra (also a Bengali) visited East Bengal in early 1954 in an attempt to rally support for the League, but it was too late. Leading politicians in West and East Pakistan called for Amin's resignation, and the new elections were soon held.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.:1954 elections.

paragraph: In the 1954 provisional elections, the Muslim League was fully defeated by the United Front, an alliance between the Awami League (led by Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy), the Krishak Sramik Party (chaired by A. K. Fazlul Huq), the Nizam Islam Party (headed by Maulana Athar Ali), and the Ganatantri Dal (led by Haji Mohammad Danesh and Mahmud Ali), eventually becoming more and more influential in Pakistani politics. It was in this turnover that Amin lost his assembly seat to a veteran student leader of East Pakistan, Khaleque Nawaz Khan, who had also been active in the Language Movement. The Muslim League was effectively eliminated from the provincial political landscape.

paragraph: Amin served as the President of the East Pakistan Muslim League, and worked to improve its standing. During this time, the Pakistani authorities made reforms, including granting official status to the Bengali language in 1956 alongside Urdu. But after Army Commander General Mohammad Ayub Khan imposed martial law following a successful military coup d'état against the government of President Iskander Mirza in 1958, Amin's political career was halted as Ayub Khan disbanded all political parties in the country.

paragraph: Section::::United Pakistan.:Leader of the opposition.

paragraph: Amin ran as a candidate in the 1965 presidential elections, in East Pakistan, winning the majority vote in the Parliament of Pakistan. He declined to work with Ayub Khan. The same year, after the death of Fatima Jinnah, Amin succeeded Jinnah as Leader of Opposition, which he held until 1969, after General Yahya Khan imposed martial law again.

paragraph: Section::::Dissolution of Pakistan.

paragraph: In the 1970 elections, Amin was elected to the National Assembly as one of only two non-Awami League members from East Pakistan. During this time, the Pakistani authority had already become highly unpopular, as the Bengali language movement was suppressed. Civil unrest was sparked by the Language Movement and fuelled by discriminatory practices against the Bengali people; this led to East Pakistan's declaration of independence.

paragraph: Section::::Dissolution of Pakistan.:1971 Liberation War.

paragraph: The Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, as it is now known, escalated as India and Pakistan formally acknowledged the "existence of a state of war between the two countries", even though neither government had formally issued a declaration of war.

paragraph: Section::::Dissolution of Pakistan.:Prime Ministership and Vice Presidency.

paragraph: As the situation in his home province of East Pakistan worsened, Amin was appointed Prime Minister by President General Yahya Khan on 6 December 1971. On 20 December 1971, however, Amin's term as prime minister was cut short as Yahya Khan resigned, leaving the Deputy Prime Minister (and Foreign Minister) Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to be sworn in as the new President. Two days later, Amin was appointed as Vice President of Pakistan, the only person to have held this post. He continued to hold this post until martial law was lifted on 21 April 1972.

paragraph: Section::::Dissolution of Pakistan.:Postwar.

paragraph: Amin is a controversial figure, considered by many Pakistanis to be a patriot for supporting unity of the country, but thought by many Bangladeshis to be a collaborator with an occupation force accused of genocide and other war crimes.

paragraph: Amin is reported to have remarked to President Yahya and his military advisers, "So Dhaka has fallen, and East Pakistan is gone, and you are enjoying yourselves..."

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Amin stayed in West Pakistan, while his home region achieved independence as the People's Republic of Bangladesh. He died in Rawalpindi on 2 October 1974, less than three years after the dissolution of the united Pakistan, and was given a public state funeral by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He was buried in Jinnah Mausoleum, next to Jinnah. His tomb was specially designed, made of Italian white marble, with golden letters for his name and contributions.

paragraph: Charles Lane (actor)

paragraph: Charles Lane (born Charles Gerstle Levison; January 26, 1905 – July 9, 2007) was an American character actor and centenarian whose career spanned 72 years. Lane gave his last performance at the age of 95 as a narrator in 2000. Lane appeared in many Frank Capra films, including "You Can't Take It With You" (1938), "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944), "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) and "Riding High" (1950). He was a favored supporting actor of Lucille Ball, who often used him as a no-nonsense authority figure and comedic foe of her scatterbrained TV character on her TV series "I Love Lucy", "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour" and "The Lucy Show". His first film of more than 250 was as a hotel clerk in "Smart Money" (1931) starring Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Lane was born Charles Gerstle Levison to a Jewish family in San Francisco, California, to parents Alice (née Gerstle) and Jacob B. Levison. His father, an executive at the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, was instrumental in rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake of which Charles was one of the last remaining survivors.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Lane spent a short time as an insurance salesman before taking to the stage at the Pasadena Playhouse. Actor/director Irving Pichel first suggested that Lane go into acting in 1929, and four years later Lane was a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild. He became a favorite of director Frank Capra, who used him in several films. In "It's a Wonderful Life", Lane played a seemingly hard-nosed rent collector for the miserly Henry Potter (Lionel Barrymore), who tried to explain to his employer that many of his tenants were moving out, taking advantage of affordable mortgage loans provided by the film's protagonist, George Bailey (James Stewart). Lane also appeared in the film "Mighty Joe Young" (1949) as one of the reporters cajoling Max O'Hara (Robert Armstrong) for information about the identity of "Mr. Joseph Young", the persona given featured billing on the front of the building, on opening night.

paragraph: Among his many roles as a character actor, Lane landed the recurring role as newspaper editor Mr. Fosdick in the Peter Lawford sitcom "Dear Phoebe", which aired on NBC in the 1954–1955 season. In that same season, Lane played the boss of the title character in June Havoc's NBC sitcom "Willy". He portrayed Emil Quincy in two episodes of the syndicated romantic comedy series "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1957–1959) with Barbara Eden and Merry Anders. However, he is most widely remembered for his portrayal of antagonist Homer Bedloe in the situation comedy "Petticoat Junction". Bedloe was a mean-spirited railroad executive who periodically visited the Shady Rest Hotel while seeking justification to end train service of the Hooterville Cannonball, but he never succeeded in that objective. He guest starred on such series as ABC's "Guestward, Ho!", starring Joanne Dru, and "The Bing Crosby Show", as well as the syndicated drama of the American Civil War, "The Gray Ghost".

paragraph: He was a good friend of Lucille Ball, and his specialty in playing scowling, beady-eyed, short tempered, no-nonsense professionals provided the perfect comic foil for Ball's scatterbrained television character. He played several guest roles on "I Love Lucy", including an appearance in the episode "Lucy Goes To the Hospital", where he is seated in the waiting room with Ricky while Lucy gives birth to their son. He also played the title role in the episode "The Business Manager", the casting director in "Lucy Tells The Truth," and the passport clerk in "Staten Island Ferry." Lane appeared twice in "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour". He later had recurring roles as shopkeeper Mr. Finch on "Dennis the Menace" and during the first season (1962–1963) of Ball's "The Lucy Show", playing banker Mr. Barnsdahl. According to "The Lucy Book" by Geoffrey Fidelman, Lane was let go because he had trouble reciting his lines correctly. However, Lane was in reality a placeholder for Ball's original choice, Gale Gordon, who joined the program in 1963 as Mr. Mooney after he was free from other contractual obligations.

paragraph: In 1963, Lane appeared in the mega-comedy "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", playing the airport manager. (On the DVD commentary track, historian Michael Schlesinger wryly noted, "You do not have a comedy unless Charles Lane is in it.") His final acting role was at the age of 101 in 2006's "The Night Before Christmas". His last television appearance was at the age of 90, when he appeared in the 1995 Disney TV remake of its 1970 teen comedy "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", with Kirk Cameron. In 2005, the TV Land Awards paid tribute to Lane by celebrating his 100th birthday. Seated in a wheelchair in the audience, which had sung "Happy Birthday" to him, Lane was presented with his award by Haley Joel Osment and then announced "If you're interested, I'm still available [for work]!" The audience gave him a standing ovation.

paragraph: Lane appeared in more than 250 films and hundreds of television shows and was uncredited in many of them. On his busiest days, Lane said he sometimes played more than one role, getting into costume and filming his two or three lines, then hurrying off to another set for a different costume and a different role. As for being typecast, Lane described it as "... a pain in the ass. You did something that was pretty good, and the picture was pretty good. But that pedigreed you into that type of part, which I thought was stupid and unfair, too. It didn't give me a chance, but it made the casting easier for the studio." In the years 1940 through 1942, Charles Lane is recorded as having appeared in sixty-seven parts.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Personal life.

paragraph: In 1931, Lane married Ruth Covell (1906-2002) and they remained together for 70 years until her death in 2002. They had a son named Tom and a daughter named Alice.

paragraph: Despite his stern, hard-hearted demeanor in most of his film and television roles, friends and acquaintances have unanimously described Lane as a warm, funny and kind person. On January 26, 2007, Lane celebrated his 102nd birthday. He continued to live in the Brentwood home he bought with Ruth (for $46,000 in 1964) until his death. In the end, his son, Tom Lane, said he was talking with his father at 9 p.m. on the evening of Monday, July 9, 2007, ""He was lying in bed with his eyes real wide open. Then he closed his eyes and stopped breathing."" Charles Lane was 102. He died from natural causes. Lane was not the only person in his family to have a long life; in 1973 his mother Alice died in her San Francisco home at the age of 100.
