RIP Huey "piano" Smith

It's been brought to my attention that there is a 10-hour version of this on YT, because why wouldn't there be?
I may have to re-watch the movie, because I wasn't even aware that Steve McQueen was in it... I didn't even know who Steve McQueen was when I saw it (80's or veeery early 90's).

Gregg Rolie inspired edition of "songs you didn't know were covers"
Who is Gregg Rolie, you ask?
He played keyboards/organ and sang with Santana and Journey.
Anyway, so that answers the the question "Who the heck was singing on that Journey track that no one remembers or cares about?"

My friend has two minis. They are nice as long as maintenance is kept up. Sadly the typical type of human that bought them new doesn't seem to do that after the warranty. Both of his are modified heavily so that might have some affect on reliability, but he hasn't had many issues besides typical car consumables.
This is kind of what I figured. Similar to BMW cooling systems, there is some planned obsolescence BS. Once the owner stops subscribing to the maintenance schedule, the car self-destructs. It's a nice scheme that keeps the dealers making back on maintenance what they lost up front on the sale price of the car. Yay capitalism.

Might actually take a look at this. I'm pretty sure the head gasket has let go on the old e34. Looking to replace it with something decent within the next week or two. Interested in any leads. Have ~15k to spend, but would prefer to stay under 10k if possible. Also in need of a vacation, so fly-and-drive is almost preferred rather than an obstacle.

Call off the hounds. I bought a boring transportation appliance (absolute base-model 2019 Chevy Spark manual). Currently mourning my car-guy status with some homemade cheese enchiladas and a stiff margarita.

Does your wiper arm assembly rattle every time you hit a bump?
I thought your car was a 535i, or have I been huffing too much brakleen lately?
It's a '94 525i. The wipers have been slow to operate at first with the cold temps that we had, but no noise that I can hear over all of the other noises the car makes.

Anyone have experience with Minis? 1st Gen vs 2nd Gen? I've mostly been looking at first guns. Assuming most of the nice ones are on the market because they're due for a timing chain...

Crazy that this one is still out there mis-labeled as Aphex Twin. The name of the author is Outside.

Don't ask me why the illustration has two left hands, because I don't know.

Don't actually own this one, but wish I had bought a copy back-in-the-day. That Whitney Houston sample...

Had to dust off some of my old drum and bass singles at 6am this morning for reasons I don't understand.
So, what are you listening to?

Truth be told, most of the time I don't even bother to pick out my own music, because there are obsessive music nerds out there that are way better at it than I am. WFMU is a listener-supported radio station that's been broadcasting out of New Jersey (just across the river from NYC) since the 70s? Originally a college radio station, but the college went out of business, and the station went to the listeners to get money to buy the FCC license and it's been going on like that ever since. The DJs are all volunteers and are basically free do to do whatever they want with their air time. Some of them are serious music nerds that have been on the air for decades, but there is a variety of other great things as well.

Mr. Fine Wine spins 20-something soul 45s during his one hour show. Great to listen to while cooking dinner on Friday night.
Mahogany with Bailey is one of the most exciting new shows. A continuous mix of jazz/hip-hop/spoken-word and more. Really good vibe. Don't take my word for it.
Matt Fiveash and Becky are holding it down with old-school blues and country on Wednesday nights. As Mr. Fiveash puts it "An antidote to the moribund, corny and/or humorless blues programming generally found on the radio.", and the same applies to Becky's show.
Rex, Marty McSorely and Jeff Sarge are long-time weekend favorites.
John Allen's "jazz" show has been a favorite of mine recently.
If the on-air programming isn't enough, there are a couple decades of archived programs...
...like that one time when someone played "Ween - Push th' Little Daisies" on repeat for 3 hours straight...

Or old favorites like Tom Scharpling's comedy/call-in show
