Talk:Len (band)

Source of Sample for "Steal My Sunshine"
The attribution to More, More, More strikes me as incorrect unless someone with inside knowledge of production of the track can testify to this fact. It seems far more likely that the source of the sample is one of several "KC and The Sunshine Band" songs, hence naming the track "Steal My Sunshine." "Get Down Tonight". "The Hustle", "Shake Your Booty" and several other KC songs use the same beat and syncopated clap.

Could someone please comment on this before I make a change? (ImagoDei 23:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC))

Wait, I will ask
I'm very sure that it was from "More More More" because being the "hardcore" Len fan I am, I read from a previous article that Marc said that it was from More More More and mentioned nothing about the "KC and the Sunshine Band", however to confirm this, I will ask Marc.

 * On the sleeve of the single (which I have), it lists "More More More" as the source of the sample, and Gregg Diamond (who wrote "More More More") is listed as a co-writer..... 62.232.55.188 14:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

OST
What is an OST? Shouldn't this be spelled out at least once so people know what the abbreviation stands for? Dismas|(talk) 15:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

- OST stands for Official Sound Track. you could have just googled it up. They use the abbreviation all the time in music websites. Darkroom Danny 06:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

began as a pop punk band
im adding this band to the "pop punk groups" category since it began as a pop punk group according to the New York Times, link,. Heres the direct quote: "Led by the siblings Marc and Sharon Costanzo, Len began in 1990 as a pop-punk band. Traces of that past remain on You Can't Stop the Bum Rush. The band's probable next single, Feelin' Alright, boasts a crunchy riff by the hair-metal guitar god C. C. DeVille and a cathartic lyric reminiscent of the Offspring."

Clarifications needed
There is no mention of several of the labels listed in the band infobox (Linus Universal, Dreamworks Records, Epic Sony, Work Columbia Sony) in the main article. Perhaps more information should be given, such as why they kept switching labels. Also, which "struggling label" did they leave for Venus EMI? To me it seems that the labels list implies that the label at the time of We Be Who We Be's release was Dreamworks Records, which does not seem like a "struggling label."

The main article mentions "D Rock, DJ Moves and Planet Pea," however they're not in the members list - are they actually members or were they just brought in for the one album?

-Planet pea was never an official member but D rock and DJ moves we're during the You Can't Stop the Bumrush-We Be Who We Be era and DJ moves is on a couple of songs on the Diary of the Madmen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.236.12 (talk) 18:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

The article attributes We Be Who We Be as being from 2002 (twice), however the discography attributes it to 2003. Which is correct?

-We Be Who We Be is from 2003. it was oiginally supposed to be released in 2002 but the date was changed to 2003 and that was also when they released advanced copies of the album before they had issues with the label and in the end it was never officially released  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.236.12 (talk) 18:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Finally, this article has no sources whatsoever. I am adding an Unreferenced template tag to it for this reason. I am also adding an Expand template tag to try to solicit the above information. Firejdl 20:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Len the bunny
As far I can tell, whenever "Len" is mentioned on the net, the poster refers to a certain 1980's Playboy centerfold chick, rather than any pop music band! For whatever reason many guys found that girl ridiculous and her mention has become a kind of running joke on web forums. 82.131.210.162 08:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's Lenna/Lena not Len. Very famous pic because it is used in image processing classes and white papers all the time. 12.191.193.169 20:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I used that pic for years in college classes - the Lena image is cropped so its just a neutral picture of a womans head. It was really wierd when I finally saw the full, uncropped, topless len image. 86.13.28.140 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:21, 15 January 2011 (UTC).

No sources, no article
Wikipedia is not a haven for Fancruft. I shall at some point remove all uncited material from this article, and at time of writing, that means the vast majority of it. If you want to keep this article, then please cite credible sources for all material. M'kay? Rogerborg (talk) 15:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, there's been a references tag on this article for 3 years. BANG.  Please cite specific verifiable sources for any material that you restore.  Personal knowledge or a vague "facebook page" claim are not appropriate sources.  They need to be independent and available: Wikipedia is an aggregator, not a primary source.  If the source information is no longer available, then it's unlikely to have been notable to begin with. Rogerborg (talk) 13:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
