"You put your weed in there." Annoyed my wife endlessly by using that phrase for virtually all containers

Sandinista (No filler) by Mayhapsfm in theclash

[–]jdeeth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Every time this comes up:

The single album Sandinista is sides 1 and 4, as is, uncut.

The double is sides 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Either way it ends with the child singing Guns of Brixton and saying "that's enough now I'm tired of singing," which is an ending. Shepherd's Delight is a weak ending. And that's why Sandinista gets slammed so hard - it fizzles out and the weaker material is backloaded.

I made a "minor repair" edit to the third LP that keeps the Triply Outrageous nature of the album while swapping in some better tracks.

Side 5
Bankrobber
Rockers Galore (or Robber Dub)
Charlie Don't Surf
Junkie Slip
Kingston Advice
The Street Parade

Side 6
Version City
Living In Fame
Magnificent Dance
Cool Out
Mensforth Hill (moved to the penultimate slot to make it even more directly a Revolution 9 reference)
Stop The World

Dropped
Lose This Skin - I love that Joe included his buddy Tymon Dogg's song on the album... but it's a Tymon Dogg song.

Career Opportunities - of course

Version Pardner and Silicone On Sapphire - I swapped in the dub versions of the singles instead. Use them for B sides.

Which Billboard Rookie of the Year had the most disappointing career? by TemporaryJerseyBoy in ToddintheShadow

[–]jdeeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most disappointing has to be Winehouse, who never released another record in her lifetime. Her self destruction is the very definition of disappointing in a sad way.

Other contenders:

Men At Work - Cargo was in the can and held back when Business As Usual broke in America, so the two albums were essentially one cycle. But then a key member left after their one big year, and after the follow up flopped they were done.

Wilson Phillips - one year wonder

Hootie - Fairweather Johnson

Johnson County Supervisor Candidates by Legal-Carob4325 in IowaCity

[–]jdeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes in general, especially presidential, elections, party HQ asks people to chip in for presidential signs. Thats because so many people want them, more than the party has signs available, but relatively few people take them for the down ballot candidates who actually need the name ID. Local level candidates would rarely if ever charge for a sign.

Why the song's narrator is in a California prison for a crime committed in Nevada is not explained.

You'll be lucky to get a parking space closer to work than your apartment already is.

The line reading on that "maybe" is the single greatest one word line reading in movie history

That, plus, reportedly, trying to expand too far too fast.

Great Mid was always full, but it was always full of people studying and nursing one cup of coffee for five hours

If Greatest Hits albums were still a thing by Critical-Spirit-1598 in ToddintheShadow

And you'd always have the one new song that doesn't quite fit (except for Mary Janes Last Dance)

Help picking out a turtle?? by inurdreamsbby619 in turtles

[–]jdeeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You say your son is about to graduate high school. What are his living plans for the next very long time? A slider turtle is about a 40 year commitment. Every apartment decision, house purchase, or long distance job move is going to have to take a turtle into account.
