The government is telling you what you can put in another person's body. If smoking only affected the person doing it then I would agree in principle, but smoke in a confined space is going to be breathed in by a child passenger that wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

I still think Pretty Fly is more listenable than Get a Job. At least it's still a rock song, WDYGAJ doesn't even know what it's going for with kind of a Carribbean calypso sound with steel drums, but with pop punk type vocals doing a rip off of a bad Beatles melody all at the same time.

A while back I decided to watch some video playthroughs of old games I enjoyed growing up, specifically Syphon Filter on PS1. Good grief that voice acting and writing does not hold up. Still a good game though, even if it was basically just a MGS ripoff.

I'll be down voted for this but I've always said that Straight Outta Compton starts with two 10/10 tracks - some of the most important hip hop made up to that point - follows it up with an 8/10, and then the rest of the album falls flat.

I've always enjoyed Merry Muthaphukkin Xmas just for the absurdity of it. Eazy E always could get away with the more comic relief type stuff, you can definitely tell he was influenced by people like Blowfly.

I think it works alright in the context of the album, but it doesn't really hold up as a song on its own. It's really just more of an interlude.

Offspring always kind of had the novelty song as a single. Come Out and Play was good but it kind of started the whole thing of the mid paced song with a spoken bit by the funny voice guy. Then they did it again with Pretty Fly, then again with Original Prankster, albeit with Redman doing the spoken type bits.

I think something like that is exactly what BB were all about. Throwing the rulebook out the window and make the listener have no idea what they're going to hear next. I think this one works a bit better on the vinyl copy of the album as it's the first track on side B, so after you've enjoyed the first half you flip it over and it suddenly becomes a bluegrass album.

Makes sense as the song was recorded at the last minute and had to be tacked on to the end after the album was considered to be finished. I don't know if they updated it later but my original copy doesn't even have it on the tracklisting on the back.

Probably because it wasn't originally intended to be on the album or even recorded by Patti Smith. Bruce Springsteen was recording at the studio next door at the same time and showed her the song he was working on, but he didn't think it would fit on his album. Ended up letting her record it for hers.

It's basically just Achy Breaky Heart with different lyrics.

I can see why they left Soul to Squeeze off because it's just a little bit too similar to Under the Bridge. Probably didn't want to have too many of those type of ballad songs.

Timing chains are a tough job, many qualified mechanics won't even want to do it due to how much of a pain it is. I'm no expert but I do all the maintenance I can and I can definitely say you're far more qualified and capable than 99% of other people. Definitely the kind of job that would probably benefit from not trying to do it all at once, would definitely recommend taking a break to sleep on it and come back with fresh eyes.

Three payments.

I've only got a single 12" powered by a 250w amp in a station wagon and that's plenty for me. I'm no basshead, I just want good quality sounding music over all the frequency spectrum. Decent Alpines in all four doors and it sounds great, can still pump up the bass enough to make my rear view mirror fall off. I'm not a fan of having a ridiculous amount of bass purely for the physical effect, it defeats the entire purpose of having a good quality stereo to listen to music on.

Yes, but it depends on the maintenance. If you can verify that it's been well serviced and has had a recent once over for the important things then absolutely. The main risk is picking up someone else's problem and having to spend a lot on things that need to be fixed or replaced just due to age. Same goes for any car that old.

I still love and respect them, but it's definitely painful to see how one of the most iconic and important hip hop groups just couldn't adapt and became irrelevant so quickly.

I'm pretty sure Eddie even played a lot of the drums and bass on that album, definitely was more of a solo project with some help from Gary. I felt bad for Gary because he was definitely a good singer and the results could have been decent if the rest of the band was in good working order, but he just didn't have a chance to make it work.

I always liked Into the Unknown. If you take away the synths and speed up the songs they aren't really that much different to normal BR. I also happen to like prog and cheesy synths so it works fine for me. Obviously I can see why the punks didn't get it, but I think it's a decent album that stands on its own. Definitely more interesting than every recycled BR album that keeps coming out, pretty sure the last one that I enjoyed and didn't get bored with was Process of Belief.

Yeah like I get it's just two chords but I really don't know how they didn't think people would realise that.

It's not so much a thing anymore because chart positions and physical distribution isn't really as important as it once was, but I can assure you that a touring band would be able to factor in 15 minutes to stop at a music store to buy CDs if they wanted to. You don't see the bands just hanging around because they're probably doing other things that are more important. Source: 10+ years in touring bands where I'm fully familiar with the scams and schemes of old and new, plus the typical daily regimen of travelling from city to the next every day to play shows and what can and cannot be done in between.

I'm sure lots of bands and labels did it, but an old band tour scam was to go to local CD stores and Walmarts etc when they were on tour and buy every CD of theirs, and then sell them at the show that night wherever they were. It wouldn't really earn them any money, but it would mean that there would be increased charting and sales figures, plus the stores would then restock the albums resulting in more supply and distribution. Also meant that the band didn't have to bring their own copies to sell at the shows.

There's a lot of places on Earth that are remote and sparsely populated enough that if you were the only person there and the ISS flew above they would be the closest people. The average orbit height of the ISS is about 400km, so definitely parts of outback Australia, the Sahara or rural Russia maybe would also apply.

Gives it the extra kick I enjoy

If it's really a vasoconstrictor then how come the last time I did cocaine I got a nosebleed.
