Fair use rationale for Image:Kissandswallow.jpg

Image:Kissandswallow.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Needs an extreme overhaul or to be deleted.

This page has been vandalized by the management company of the musical act to try and write it up like an advertisement for the band. It is absolutely terrible.

"BERLIN, GERMANY - IAMX's Chris Corner has a habit of teasing fans and making them salivate. For years, his two critically acclaimed albums, Kiss + Swallow and The Alternative, were only available in Europe. Yet, his US fan base begged and pleaded for a stateside release, and instead of appeasing them, he teased them with three sold-out tours. And now, he's teasing his fans again." "IAMX won't be releasing the follow-up to The Alternative until Spring 2009, but to keep his legion of fans happy yet wanting more more more, he has been offering the brand new single "Think of England" from this upcoming third album as a free download. The track is available at: http://www.61seconds.de. "Think of England" is everything you expect from IAMX but amplified to the Nth degree. It's bigger, more epic, more dramatic, and a good hint of the direction IAMX is headed for the next record."

"Known for their electrifying and dramatic live shows, the transcontinental four-piece (with members from England, Germany & US) has hypnotized audiences with their post-apocalyptic and hyper-visual stage presence while remaining incredibly true to the recorded material - a rather intense feat, given the music's multiple layers and intricate arrangements. A visual and aural intersection, IAMX's live performances have sold out venues across Europe, the UK and the US. IAMX is the sound of an independent revolution offering the perfect "alternative" to the insipid radio drone of the mainstream."

"With such strikingly cinematic songs as the waltzy cabaret drama of President to the percussive sexual predatory dirtiness of The Negative Sex to the indelibly infectious synthpop of the sweeping Spit It Out, IAMX’ glam noir music fuses electro, pop, rock and glam into hyper-sexual, uber-sensual midnight dance music."

Read that again "ENCYCLOPAEDIC", not advertisement, not band write-up on a music website, not an artist profile, an ENCYCLOPAEDIC ARTICLE. I really don't think this should be written by the management company as they keep vandalizing the page with this swill. 06:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)junkupshowup (talk)

This is all INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC ARTICLE.

Unicorn sex?

Really?

Reworked lead text

I have worked on a new lead that contains the existing sentences and also provides more information about IAMX. I would like to post this once I have gathered all references/sources. Here it is: IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner, formerly of the band Sneaker Pimps. Founded in 2004 in London, it is an independent music project which also focuses on and experiments with visual art. Musically, IAMX spans multiple genres from electronic rock and dance music to burlesque influenced songs and emotional ballads. Corner's distinctive wide ranging voice is an obvious characteristic of the IAMX sound. Since 2006, IAMX has been based in Berlin, Germany where Corner has found "the spirit to care less about the music industry and take an independent route." Berlin is also mentioned in the lyrics which concern subjects such as sexual identity, death, love, narcotic intoxication, decadence, critique of religion and politics, alienation, addiction, modern society and gender bending. The topic of gender bending is further emphasised by Corner's own distinctive and androgynous image.   Live, IAMX are known for their highly energetic and theatrical performances. Unusual stage outfits and body painting are also core elements of IAMX shows. The stage design consists of art and props constructed by Corner and his live band members. The visual art element of the project can be seen in the IAMX music videos and in the projections at their live shows. Both contain sometimes strong and controversial visual content, often directed, shot and edited by Corner himself. To date, IAMX has released four studio albums, all of which have been released independently and produced by Corner. Work on the fifth IAMX album is in process. 17:00 GMT+2, 06 May 2012 janinexx (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC).

Turmwurk is being chucked by IAMX. Will try to find where I can cite it, unless anyone can do it before the end of this week?
