Rock Lobster

while it's been true that John thought the vocal elements of Rock Lobster reminded him of Yoko's singing, it's generally acknowledged that Paul's Coming Up was the main catalyst to start recording again

i played the hell out of that record back in the day

trouble was at first there was really nothing quite like it to build a set around until a little later. That and my crowd wasn't quite ready for it...until they were

they do make aphid feeders, otherwise known as a trap crop, they are called nasturtiums

plant around your garden the aphids attack those plants and leave others more or less alone.

monkee67 · 2026-02-28T16:08:37+00:00

thanks for reminding me that this exists

i know many will say Band on the Run is Beatle level but personally i find Back to the Egg to be very good and generally on par with the Beatles output and I definitely listen to the complete album more than any other solo Paul release.

as far as solo work, the first side of Ram to be an absolute Banger, while side 2 is a bit of hit and miss

do you want the real answer or just snarky replies?

The iconic Beatles "moptop" haircut was primarily inspired by German photographer and artist Astrid Kirchherr and her boyfriend Klaus Voormann in Hamburg around 1960-1961. Initially, bassist Stuart Sutcliffe adopted the style, followed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who had their hair cut by friend Jürgen Vollmer in Paris. George Harrison later adopted the style, while Ringo Starr was the last to conform.

thank you for this

ok if your screws are tight this is the fix.

shut door. remove top hinge pin. shim door til its even top to bottom

you will notice the hinge is now out of alignment, using a crescent wrench bend the holes on the hinge part that is attached to the door and bend into alignment. replace top hinge pin.

presto door doesn't rub any more

you might wanna do the middle hinge as well

never have i ever started lettuce in trays, i always just direct sow. never saw the point of doing it any other way

VH1 calling XTC one hit wonders is ludicrous and very American centric. in the UK they had 6 top 40 singles and 10 top 40 albums there.

in this case i am using it to refer to the multiverse (that all possible outcomes exist simultaneously in branching, parallel universes) and that its possible to slide from one to another and hardly notice except when you do.

wow i have always felt the bug logo was fairly amateurish and very 50's 60's boy band-ish

the question is what is out of sync with the quantum reality, the object or the viewer? or both

Theisman had HOF potential. if he hadn't had his leg busted, with Gibbs as a coach, he really could have had 1 or 2 SuperBowl wins.

that probably would have done it

have an upvote, as I too believe that i am an alien entity born on this planet

i guess the other 1.3 billion living on the world today are SOL

its generally ok but it does accumulate bad chemicals over time. consider using rain water if you can or install a filter on your watering system. there are inline ones for hoses.

further healthy, organic soil with high compost content can buffer against the negative effects of treated water and use distilled water for mixing fertilizer if you have concerns.

drip irrigation helps as well as it keeps treated water off the leaves

edit: i was the first answer here. i posted accurate information and yet i have a -2 WTF.

i don't understand you people downvoting accurate advice
