In addition to overt Picasso homages — a harlequin appears in one dreamy landscape — echoes of Egon Schiele show up in moody, bony-shouldered figures, some set amid jungly, Paul Gauguin-esque backdrops.

Indeed, a darkening American span can be tracked in his scores: We've seen pot become sinsemilla, then "sweet and jungly" Maui Wowie; LSD become mescaline, hash oil, heroin, powder cocaine and, soon, rock.

They've commissioned a few remixes for songs of theirs—check the jittery, jungly flip of "In Mind" by Bandulu, or the creeping IDM flip of the same track by Mark Pritchard, then operating as Reload.

On a nearby mantelpiece, Lina Tharsing's pictures depict droopy flowers and spindly plants that seem to scrape their simple, urgent forms right out of the jungly greens of the oil paint covering their wood-panel surfaces.

Dafoe's intensity is undimmed (he seems not to have aged since his jungly exertions in "Platoon," more than thirty years ago), and, as for van Gogh, he was worn and torn by the strain of being alive.

Following Poh Lin and her young family as they explore the island, Michael Latham's camera is alternately serene and agitated, thrusting through jungly undergrowth or gazing, bewitched, at a crimson carpet of crabs by a restless gray ocean.

The Brighton-based producer's new extended EP doesn't begin with a beat, but with an overture of lush synths and samples of exotic bird calls that summon up the tropical pinks and jungly greens that make up the record's cover.

It opens with dizzy ambience and blurry trance synths that sound a little bit like Rustie's underwater explorations, before blistering skyward through chanted vocals, a wonderfully elastic bass line and jungly drum samples—all signifiers of ecstasy and abandon after the woozy exposition.

Though still in its soft launch phase, it's already a bastion of new-school glamour, its reception room decorated with jungly banana-leaf wallpaper and a groovy woven chair that, unfortunately, is far more fun to take pictures of than it is to sit in.

"Even if I stay in my home, I could get killed by the military," said Abul Osman, a 32-year-old madrasa instructor and ARSA fighter who spent three months hiding in the jungly hills on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border after the group's attack last October.

The success of BPM Festival, whose 222 edition runs January 8 to 17, over the past decade has led the Mayan Riviera's recent progression into a jungly Ibiza of sorts, and Tulum in particular is beginning to gentrify, as did Ibiza, from a low-key hippie outpost to a commercial party haven.

It's where, looking out from the window of his asylum, Van Gogh painted "The Starry Night," and not even the many fashion world denizens who have taken over the thick-walled farmhouses on the town's outer edges (Pierre Bergé converted several tracts into a jungly Moroccan refuge) could disrupt its sense of serenity.

At the top of this jungly street, I make my way to a side street where I find my favorite whiskey bar in the city, an unsigned speakeasy called Hailiang buried behind a small garden with a secret door that opens into a 12-seat Japanese cave filled with hundreds of bottles of rare Scotch and bourbon.

"Rhythmic Dreams" relies on a steady jungly drumbeat and mantra-like vocals to give the piece shape. "Laughter" features no lyrics and, as the title suggests, it features laughter throughout.

"The way she carried herself was a revolution." By the late 1970s, The Slits were touring as the opening act for The Clash. Ari Up's love of reggae led The Slits into a "jungly" dub style. She was the most flamboyant member of the group, becoming known for her wild hair and odd stage outfits.

The narrative itself first refers to the continent in A Feast for Crows (2005). Martin had described Sothoryos in 2002 as "the southern continent, roughly equivalent to Africa, jungly, plague-ridden, and largely unexplored." The novels provide little other information. The swampy nature of Sothoryos is briefly referenced by Victarion in A Dance with Dragons, and teak from Sothoryos is said to be used to build ships.

In his decades-long war to oust invaders, Rajah developed an elaborate system of cantonments and forts in the jungly and mountainous part of his country.

West of the Appalachians lies the lush Mississippi River basin and two large eastern tributaries, the Ohio River and the Tennessee River. The Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and the Midwest consist largely of rolling hills, interior highlands and small mountains, jungly marsh and swampland near the Ohio River, and productive farmland, stretching south to the Gulf Coast. The Midwest also has a vast amount of cave systems. The Great Plains lie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains.

After Martin's death there were protracted disputes in the Calcutta High Court and consequently his will was not proved until 1840. In the interim the Constantia building was used as a guest house for visiting Europeans. In 1837 Emily Eden, sister of the Governor General, described it as "a sort of castle in a fine jungly park, built by an old General La Martine, who came out to India a private soldier, and died worth more than a million. I wish we had come out in those days".

The Sunday Telegraph editor Dominic Lawson published the story in September 2003, believing it to be "a rattling good yarn", but "inherently improbable". The dead "Jungly Barry" turned out to be one-time Northern folk singer named Barry Halpin. Blake initially stood by the book but, while it sold 20,000 copies, the remainder of the 60,000 print run were destroyed. Blake the following year described the incident as being his biggest error. In August 2008, On Her Majesty's Service a book that was about to be published by John Blake Publishing under the name of Ronald Evans, a former bodyguard of Sir Salman Rushdie, had a Declaration of Falsity made against it by a Judge in the High Court for the inclusion of 11 "serious falsehoods" defaming Rushdie.

At its occasional best it works like a constellation, with autobiography, essays, stories, reportage mingling together in a single controlled blaze. More often it has the casual freedom of the scrapbook, into which any old thing can be pasted at will; a lifelike form, certainly, with all of life's contingencies, dead ends, and artlessness.' 'Florida' is a remarkable article based on Raban's visit to Florida, attracted by the thrillers of John D. MacDonald, 'With their bodice- ripper covers and titles like Nightmare in Pink, A Deadly Shade of Gold and A Purple Place for Dying. For Raban, MacDonald (whom he meets three years before his death) created an extremely vivid portrait of a 'jungly Eden, spoilt and besmirched by human vanity and greed ... a lovely paradise that was being cut down to make room for shopping malls, condominium blocks, six-lane highways, giant billboards and pagoda-style Kingburger palaces.

In his time, he was the finest batsman to play for the Europeans in the annual Bombay Presidency (later Pentangular) tournaments. He possessed a slight physique but strong wrists and was a useful right arm slow bowler. In India, he was affectionately called "Jungly" Greig. He was promoted Captain 19 November 1901, and later became Aide-de-camp to the Governor of Bombay. Greig made his first-class cricket debut for the Europeans against the Parses in the Bombay Presidency match of 1893/4. In the next year, he carried his bat for 79 runs out of 190 against the same opponents. His 184 five years later was the highest ever individual score made in India and in 1898 in Poona, he took 13 for 58 against the Parsis. Against the touring Oxford Authentics in 1902 he scored 204, the first double hundred made on Indian soil.
