That also means I get to cause chaos during Wreckin' Bar and stare at Freddie during Post-Breakup Sex.

But really, I found some filler on that album, however it's still better than most indie crap today, and I really love those two tracks. So I'm buzzed :)

Actually I learnt it friday...

If you are in a band and your music is on Spotify, you have to pay Spotify to get your credits. When your music isn't that big, you pay more than you earn...

Really? I didn't know that. It sounds like something that's banned here - Hello Money. What a producer of an item used to have to pay a supermarket chain in order to get their products onto their shelves.

That's what I heard from a guy who said he took his music off of Spotify because it only cost him money. Now you can listen to his music for free on bandcamp and soundcloud.

At a first aid session, I learned to make someone dead come back to life again.
Resurrection with my bare hands and some artificial respiration.
Not that I ever hope to come in that situation, but it's good to know, I can....

I had to read that twice. First time I was thinking "Wtf, he brought someone back from the dead?" :shock: :lol: :lol: Yes indeed, it is a good skill to have. We have a defibrillator in our office but I'd rather use it on people to finish them off, not bring them back

Ha ha, I might take the second course "How to walk on water".
If I don't succeed, then the third course "How to make water to wine" could be interesting...
:twisted:

Well, we learned to use the defibrillator too, but if it ain't available, I can hopefully make it for the six minutes till the medics arrive.

The Windscale nuclear reactor fire was just another example of shitty, cheapskate British engineering at its must shitty and cheapskate. A penny-pinching attempt at trying to keep up with American bullying that resulted in a shockingly badly designed reactor that emitted radioactive dust when it failed.

Robert Plant has had a kid with the sister of his first wife which sounds a bit wrong to me reallly.
