Torero
A torero (Spanish: [toˈɾeɾo]) or toureiro (Portuguese: [toˈɾɐjɾu]) (both from Latin taurarius, bullfighter), is a bullfighter and the main performer in the sport of bullfighting as practised in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France and other countries influenced by Spanish culture. In Spanish, the word torero describes any of the performers who participate in the bullfight. The main performer, who is the leader of an entourage and the one who kills the bull, is addressed as maestro (master), and his formal title is matador de toros (killer of bulls). The term torero encompasses all who fight the bull in the ring (picadores and rejoneadores). The other bullfighters in the entourage are called subalternos and their suits are embroidered in silver as opposed to the matador's more-theatrical gold.
In English, the torero is sometimes called the toreador. The term does not exist in Spanish; it was invented by Georges Bizet for his opera Carmen. He needed the syllables of the word to match the timing of the song.
Arms and Sleepers
Arms and Sleepers is an ambient/trip hop duo consisting of Max Lewis, and Mirza Ramic. The band was formed in 2006 and has since released a handful of albums and EPs, including Bliss Was It in That Dawn to Be Alive, an EP released in 2006; Black Paris 86, an album released in 2007; and Matador, which was released in November 2009.
The band gives a cinematic experience when performing live, backing their music up with synchronised visuals created by Dado Ramadani.
History
Formation and Black Paris 86 (2006–2008)
Both Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic were members of The List Exists, a post-rock band from Brunswick, Maine. After three years together, the band split up in 2006, with Lewis and Ramic forming Arms and Sleepers together. Ramic explained that the band name "is the meaning of so much of the world today and in the past, and probably the future. While so many are fighting and killing ("arms"), others are ignoring it all (the "sleepers")."
The first release from Arms and Sleepers was the Bliss Was It in That Dawn to Be Alive EP, which was put out on Fake Chapter Records in November 2006. The EP was positively received, and featured some tracks that would end up on the band's first full-length release. This was followed up with the self-titled EP which was released by Milkweed Records. The next two releases by the band, Cinématique and Lautlos EP, were limited and self-released. The group's first full-length album, Black Paris 86, was released in 2007 on both CD (Expect Candy Records) and 2x12" vinyl (Ericrock), and received a lot of praise in reviews.
Matador (company)
Matador, a.s. (a joint-stock company) is a multinational car tire producer based in Púchov, Slovakia, as well as the corresponding group of companies.
It exports above 87% of its production into 80 countries worldwide. It does not produce only tires, but also associated and similar products and services. It has several trading companies and a network of shops. The largest export customers are the USA, UK, Germany, and the CIS states.
Matador now also produces conveyor belts, automotive parts and machinery.
History
The company arose in the town of Púchov in 1947 as a "national enterprise" that was split off from the old firm Matador Bratislava.
Matador Bratislava was founded in 1905 (till 1911 known as the "Matador - Gummi und Balata Werke") involved mainly in the production of rubber hoses and belts in its new facilities in Petržalka, a district of Bratislava. Since 1925, it has produced tires (the first tires producer in former Czechoslovakia). Its tires were fitted to many Czechoslovak automobiles of the 1930s, thus contributing in co-operation with the brands Škoda, Tatra, Aero and others to the development of automotive industry in Central Europe. The firm was nationalized in 1946 and privatized in 1995. Its trade name has been Matadorex, a.s. since the privatization.

Matador
by: PupilDo come and see
We've made a fire
To drown your polar eyes in
We'll sail away
On golden ships
Across the new horizon
Now everyone
They stop and stare
To catch the demons in your hair
Don't let them bleed
Your innocence
Try to prescribe your fashion sense
Make me jump from station, to station
All the rest are just pale imitations
Just how throw it out
Or plug it in
And let the wired DJ spin
The carousel
It comes and goes
Where it stops nobody knows
War is hell
War is cold
No matter what the future holds
Boys and girls
Let's go for a ride
Love's a form of suicie
Just let them be
And follow me, its easy as
One, Two, Three
Make me jump from station, to station
You move me like no other
And all the rest are just pale imitations
We could be like no other
Do come and see
Tonight could last forever
I want to be left all alone
On my own to write her song
I'm running away from this paradise
Before I tell truth of my lies
My children shall blow the kiss of death
To you I bestow my last breath
Before the end draws near
I leave you with my fear
A place to hide
A place for realizing
What ca I be?
