	Helium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helium is used in cryogenics, as a deep-sea breathing gas, for inflating balloons and airships, and as a protective gas for many industrial purposes, such as arc welding.
		Evidence of helium was first detected on August 18, 1868 as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometres in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun, by French astronomer Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India.
		The principal impurity in Grade-A helium is neon.

		Helium gas is used to fill the space between lenses in some telescopes because its extremely low index of refraction reduces the distorting effect of temperature variations in the gas filling the telescope (some telescopes use vacuum in the telescope instead).
		Helium was first detected on August 18, 1868 as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nm in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun, by French astronomer Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur City (India).
		Helium is a colorless, odorless, tasteless chemical element, one of the noble gases of the periodic table of elements.

	Helium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helium can form unstable compounds with tungsten, iodine, fluorine, sulfur and phosphorus when it is subjected to an electric glow discharge, through electron bombardment or is otherwise a plasma.
		Helium is the second most abundant element in the known Universe after hydrogen and constitutes 23% of the elemental mass of the universe.
		Containers of helium gas at 5 to 10 K should be treated as if they have liquid helium inside due to the rapid and significant thermal expansion that occurs when helium gas at less than 10 K is warmed to room temperature.

		Helium is used in low permeation to helium cryogenics, in deep-sea breathing systems, to cool superconducting magnets, in helium dating, for inflating balloons, for providing lift in airships and as a protective gas for many industrial uses (such as arc welding and growing silicon wafers).
		Helium was first detected on August 18, 1868 as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nm in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun, by French astronomer marmot helium eq Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in India.
		Helium is the second most abundant element in the known Universe after hydrogen and constitutes 23% of all elemental matter measured by mass even though there are 8 times as many hydrogen atoms as helium ('elemental matter' does not include dark matter or dark energy, which together may account for 96% of the Universe).

	Helium (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helium was an American indie rock trio formed in the summer of 1992 by former Autoclave member Mary Timony (electric guitar and vocals) with Shawn King Devlin (drums) and Brian Dunton (electric bass guitar).
		Their first release was a 7" single entitled The American Jean (1993), which was followed by the 7" Hole in the Ground.
		Not much longer after that (in 1997 or 1998) Helium was disbanded with Mary off to begin her solo career.

		Since helium has a lower boiling point than any other element, low temperature and high pressure are used to liquefy nearly all the other gases (mostly nitrogen and hydrocarbons such as methane) from natural gas in order to extract gaseous helium (the general process is called fractional distillation).

		Helium (He) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, nearly inert monatomic chemical element that heads the noble gas series in the periodic table and whose atomic number is 2.
		Helium II will escape from an vessel that is not sealed by creeping along the sides until it reaches a warmer region where it evaporates.
		Because of its low density, Helium is the gas of choice to fill [[airships such as the USGS blimp.]] Pressurized Helium is commercially available and is extracted from natural gas.

		Helium's new band, which makes its stateside debut this week, eventually may be called Rock Formation, thought it's currently billed under his own peculiar moniker.
		Helium says he left the still-popular Elf Power because he simply "needed a new vista." He sings and plays guitar in the new project, and writes most of the material.
		I've had this theory for years that in a perfect world, one would be in three bands: one democratic, one where you're the dictator and one where you're the puppet.

		Bio: Helium is essentially the project of Mary Timony, formerly of the girl punk band Autoclave.
		Helium formed in 1992 with Brian Dunton on bass and Shawn King Devlin and started releasing 7"s like 1993's The American Jean.
		The Dirt of Luck, released in 1995, was an improvement and embellishment of the sound laid forth in Pirate Prude: Heavy, sluggish guitars, spooky keyboards, and Timony's breathy alto laid over an understated rhythm section.

		The long-awaited second album from Boston’s HELIUM is an unexpected departure from the fragmented, angry pop of yore.
		Helium have been regrouping to add new bassist Ash from Polvo, and "Pat’s Trick" was recorded virtually entirely by Mary Timony alone (is this a trend?).
		The American Embassy secures the band’s release, however, just in time for Helium to return to home and release their second single, "Hole In The Ground" b/w "Lucy" (Pop Narcotic).

		But the pop punk Helium forged for themselves was not in vogue at the time when, inspired by Nirvana and Pearl Jam, everyone else seemed to want to be in a grunge band.
		Helium released one album ' You Can't Hold Me Down' in October 1992 before changing their name to Bodyjar.
		At the same time the band decided to consolidate their recording career by signing with one company rather than stay with the now-unmanageable collection of labels they now found themselves on worldwide.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by blues rock band Helium Soul called Mass Of Four
		Helium Soul are a powerful Surrey based riff driven band with a Hammond A1 and slide guitar led 70's retro feel that will appeal to all rock blues of a certain age.
		But you suspect the band will have to gig their way to success given that aside from the internet there are all too few less radio outlets for well crafted solid rocking blues such as this.
		Above all there's a confidence to the band's playing bordering on swagger with the studio environment enhancing rather than restricting the band's oeuvre.

		As you would expect, it does not change the pitch, which is determined by the tension, mass and geometry of vocal folds, and some other effects.
		Well if you listen for the pitch, you will hear that it is the same note as previously (it is easier to hear the pitch if you sing rather than speak, because in speech we are much less conscious of the pitch).
		If you do the experiment with someone who has a bit of experience with singing, (and if s/he doesn't laugh too much on hearing helium voice) then the pitch will be the same in the two cases.

		As if that weren't enough, Helium fans were next treated to Timony's sly re-vamping of eighties guitar and synth pop on the band's The Magic City, released in the fall of'97.

	Helium Angel
		Helium Angel has recently performed at industry showcases such as CMJ in New York City, the International Pop Overthrow festival in Los Angeles, and Poptopia North in San Francisco.
		Today Helium Angel is more interested in creating lasting music for a broad audience than in romanticizing the downwardly-mobile outsider ethos of so much of alternative rock.
		They are a great band that just happen to have great influences...The band then adds their own "x-factor" to create music that is at once timeless, yet immediate...

		Her most recent incarnation of a two-piece band evoke memories of the old punk days, but it’s clear that Timony is expressing a weathered understanding of pop, rock, and music as a whole.
		The band was highly regarded in their hometown of Washington D.C., but eventually Mary moved on to study English literature at Boston University.
		Helium grew increasingly popular with each release and pushed the borders of indie rock.

		After turning her attention to unicorns and other prog-folk filigree -- a direction begun on the final records of her former band Helium and elaborated on two solo discs -- indie-rock heroine Mary Timony has returned to rocking out.
		If you were into Mary Timony's art-pop band Helium, chances are you were also into Polvo, or, more specifically, the baroque cathedrals shared member Ash Bowie hewed from his guitar.
		If you were into Helium and Polvo, you probably loved intricately braided strands of melody and dissonance, art-school meets meat-and-potatoes punk a la the Breeders and Autoclave (Timony's first band), and tight packets of oblique imagery.

		Helium has evolved significantly during nearly a decade of existence, but every step of the way, their distinctive brand of fractured fairytale pop has been impossible to confuse with any other band.
		Despite the title, the guitars were decidedly present on the subsequent No Guitars EP (1997), alongside a breathtaking array of instruments (organs, flute, banjo, ukelele, horns, strings, you name it) and a still heavier dose of lyrical magical realism.
		Helium performed this live version of the song on WMBR in Cambridge, MA, as part of the legendary Pipeline!

	Matador Records \| Mary Timony Biography
		Emerging in the early 90s, Timony and her band Helium garnered critical acclaim with their two Matador albums The Dirt of Luck and 1997’s Magic City.
		Prior to Helium, she was a member of the band Autoclave (Discord).
		On 1997’s The Magic City, Mary Timony took a courageous leap forward with her band Helium, unveiling an unusual new wave-prog rock hybrid which spurred comparisons to such diverse artists as Faust, Pentangle, Gentle Giant, and The Cars.

		Many people may be familiar with Timony's past work as the brains behind the Boston-based band Helium.
		The band generated quite a bit of buzz back in 1994 during the waning moments of the grunge revolution with their debut EP, "Pirate Prude." This masterpiece gleamed with some of the most distorted sounding guitar-driven sonic ferocity ever captured.
		Though highly allegorical and bleeding with feminist teenage angst, Timony's charismatic guitar work and lyrics instantly caught the attention of bands such as Sonic Youth, who were delighted to invite Helium on their tour and to play at Lollapalooza.

		All of the songs on "Helium" are just a little bit off-kilter; to me, they're the aural equivalent of mishung pictures in an abandoned house.
		Creepy as the whole album is, the ensemble playing is impeccable (no showboating by anyone) and the trio pulls off a neat trick in often sounding like a much larger group of musicians.
		As it is, this band is not to be ignored.

		The Farnham based record company, which also provide the home to artists as diverse as saxophonist Ben Castle (son of TV legend Roy) to drummer Dylan Howe (son of rock guitarist Steve Howe), is set to release a debut album "Mass of Four" in the summer.
		Their youthful reinvention of blues rooted rock was a breath of fresh air to hear in demo form, however, having seen them live it was clear that this band were beyond ready to record their debut album.
		I totally loved that band when I saw them in London last year...so glad they have got a deal after all this time.

		Since her final days with the band Helium she's put out three solo albums so incredibly her own and downright "indie" that we suspect she may very well be Ian Svenonius in a cat mask.
		I guess, realistically, I'd love to start a project band here in DC with some people, so that when Devin is busy with his other band (Medications) I will be able to have other stuff I am working on, too.
		As far as the Mary Timony band goes, we are doing a few short tours this fall and then concentrating on writing and recording.

		If you're new to Helium upon first listen you'll most likely think, "hmmm, who are they ripping off" but Helium was THE FIRST band like this.
		I mean, there were surely some bands along the way like Sonic Youth that influenced them as far as guitar driven noise goes but Helium was the first band to put together a sound like this.
		In my opinion, Helium could either be considered like none other or a combination of everything.
