	ARGYLSHIRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Prof Campbell in his "Hist of Clan MacIver", ignores the existence of Tavish Corr and Iver Croumb, the sons of Colin MacDuine, and uses their names to denote two brothers who lived about 1360 AD and whose ancestors had come from Glenlyon.
		Campbell of Kirnan in his life of Arch., Duke of Argyll, is equally astray, when he describes the sons of Colin MacDuine as the sons of Archibald of Lochawe in 1360, by a daughter of Suaine Ruaidh, Thane of Knapdale.
		Campbell, says that Iver lived under Malcolm the Fourth, that is, between 1153 and 1165, and was the grandfather of Dovenald, whose son Iver Crom must have been born at least three generations later than the man who gave his name to the Clan.

		Stars, the Montreal-based indie pop quintet of which singer/trumpeter/keyboardist Campbell is a founding member, is a product and a part of an increasingly notable, and increasingly impressive, community of musicians.
		Campbell sees the way he and his friends structure their bands as an evolutionary step.

	The Morrells - Morrell/Campbell Ancestry
		As a growing colony through the 19th century, Jamaica received many Scottish immigrants, and it is thought that it was during this period that the forebears of Henry Arthur Campbell, father of Olive Grace Campbell, who married Douglas Wellesley Morrell, came to the island to start a new life.
		It is through the descent from Olive Campbell, daughter of Henry Campbell, and his professed allegiance and recognition of the Duke of Argyll as chief of Clan Campbell, that Raymond Jon Wellesley Morrell, the youngest Morrell, claims membership in the clan as a clansman.
		Olive was the second daughter of Henry and Lalia Campbell, and is thought to have been born sometime between 1904 (when her parents married) and 1911 (when the third and youngest daughter was born).

		Campbell, always the supremely skilled lyricist, tops himself on several tracks, displaying a stunning ability to capture poetic snapshots that remain in your head.
		Campbell's lyrics resort to cheap shots ("I hope your drunken daughters are gay!") instead of poetic vehemence.
		After those two songs, though, Stars immediately right themselves on what may soon become their calling card, "Soft Revolution." Ostentatiously declaring, "We are here to save your life," the band implores listeners to have faith in the positive power of pop music, for us to express joy instead of anger during these tough times.

		Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman were playing together for over a year before singer / guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Cranley joined.
		Seligman and Campbell had already put out an album, Nightsongs, when Cranley and Millan came on, but the sound quickly began morphing with the new members.
		As a musician, says Campbell, you have to connect to the outside world, "or you will struggle to be relevant.

	Eye - Love to burn - 12.16.04
		The title wasn't the only thing Campbell and his bandmates had in mind before entering the studio last winter; even before they began recording, they realized they wanted to follow in the footsteps of their friends in Broken Social Scene, Metric and The Dears by creating something more epic.
		Campbell and his cohorts have long talked about a "Soft Revolution" -- now they're bringing the concept to life as the underlying theme of the record.
		But Stars are all about the love, and it's the ties that bind that keep the band together and moving forward, even though of late it seems none of the members are ever in the same place at the same time.

	The pop-music revolution will not be televised (yet) - 0602 - By Mike Parker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Or, as charismatic front man and keyboard player Torquil Campbell says, the band has been starting a revolution in Canuck rock.
		Conceived during a winter stay in North Haley, Que., in the province's Eastern Townships, the CD is not a call to turn yourself into a human inferno, despite its title.
		Instead Campbell says the album is a metaphor for giving into those times when plans go astray and force you to start over with a fresher perspective.

		Campbell says, in a phone interview from his Vancouver home, that while not a core member of BBS, he joins the band in the studio or onstage whenever possible, even if that means dancing through an entire set onstage as they perform.
		What Canning and Campbell's bands have been partly responsible for is the attention Canada's indie scene has recently enjoyed.
		With their melodic hooks, lush instrumentation and the clever wordplay between Campbell and Milan, Stars' bouncy, unflinchingly romantic pop probably has the broadest appeal of any band on the BBS tour roster.

	Love and mystery shimmer in the pop music of Stars \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		As Campbell puts it, the "best pop music is dumb and clever at the same time.
		Campbell, who has appeared on the TV shows "Sex and the City" and "Law and Order," cites "these guys who were able to be deeply feminine and deeply masculine and sexy in a way - and certainly I haven't achieved that."
		One of the most moving songs on "Heart," up for a Juno (the Canadian music awards) in April, is "The Vanishing." The singer leaves his sleeping traveling companion on an airplane and vanishes into London, never to be seen again.

		His songs are tales about his life, a world inspired by “the night, color, daydreams, cheap thrills, sleeping pills, regret, tragedy, sex, the scent of lime, Johnny Marr...” Many songs are vivid recollections of his past.
		Torquil is used to conjuring images, as he is also an actor of stage and screen.
		The result of this collaboration was a demo tape that Campbell sent to Le Grand Magistery (purveyor of Momus, Kahimi Karie, Moose).

		During that time, the quintet led by singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan wrote, worked, played, ate, tobogganed and occasionally argued with each other.
		But the end result is the exquisite "Set Yourself on Fire," a record Campbell says was more satisfying to make than the band's previous release, "Heart." The set is due March 8 in the United States via Arts and Crafts.
		Campbell and Cranley say the title track epitomizes the grandiose, epic style they sought, but there was a slight twist from the original musical blueprint.

		At the moment, however, the only Stars Torquil Campbell has in his eyes—and his ears, for that matter—is the Montreal-based collective he co-founded.
		However, Campbell said that the decision for Stars to relocate to the capital of La Belle Province from New York was made long before the buzz started.
		On a lighter note, the Sex and the City that Campbell guest-starred in was the same one where Alanis Morissette played spin the bottle and locked lips with Sarah Jessica Parker.

	Dark Moon Rising - January 2001
		Probably the most widely known of Schmitz's characters is Telzey Amberdon, the daughter of a Hub official and something of a genius with psi-powers.
		The first book dealing with her was The Universe Against Her and resembles Witches in that it was first published as a novella in Analog (the successor of Astounding, also edited by John Campbell) and then expanded into a novel.
		There is a wonderful source of information on-line called The James H. Schmitz Encyclopedia at http://www.white-crane.com/Schmitz with a complete bibliography and a generous selection of photos from illustrations and book jackets.

		There are elements of the past in their sound but the delivery and sexiness of both Campbell and Millan's vocal delivery that hold the listener tight.
		Then, on the title track, the first to feature the full capabilities of Torquil Campbell, you start to realize that you really have no idea what you are in for.
		Both Torquil and Amy provide ample proof that the male/female vocals are worthy.

	acCorkill's Scottish Presents - Septs of Clan Gunn, Which Should be Included?, Robert Gunn, MA, hwa
		James (MacHamish Gunns), Robert (Robson Gunns or Gunns of Braemore), John (the Bregaul Gunns), Torquil (from Thor-ketil, meaning Thor's kettle or cauldron), William, Alexander, Henry (later the Hendersons of Caithness), and daughters Bessie and Mary.
		Sons of Torquil, this Viking name is small in comparison to the names Jamesons, Robsons, Johnsons and Wilsons, but curiously the name is also a common one on the Isle of Man, making some connection to the Kings of the Isle of Man and the Isles possible.
		There is some controversy over whether Torquil was Tormod's brother, nephew or grandson, but the point remains the same: here are two examples of two very distinct clans from the same progenitor -- Leod for the Harris and Lewis MacLeods and Somerled for the MacDougalls and MacDonalds.
