Oh the huge steaming racist who started his magnum opus with literally "Here's a pictureof some sort of African work of art. We can all agree that it is objectively absolute dogshit compared to even the worst of our European art"? Did he have something against bananas because he perceived them as an African phenomenon?

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
It's the song Family Reunion from Short Music for Short People, a compilation of 101 30 second punk songs and one of my all time favorite albums. I believe it was also inspired by George Carlin's "7 Words You Can't Say on TV."

I always liked that comp for getting silly with the track listing. Following a Black Flag song with a White Flag song with an Anti-Flag song was good.

edit also AFI being in on the joke with their song "Hearts Frozen Solid, Thawed Once More by the Spring of Rage, Despair, and Hopelessness"

23 years and I never thought about that. Haha!

Also, why does my original physical copy and the mp3 ripped from that cd have that track title listed as "Hearts Frozen Soil Sod Once More..."? That doesn't even make any sense and I can't find any explanation online.

Middle Aged Man Received a Sausage in His Bathtub
Grímur Pálsson got a boiled sausage with his bathwater

"I was in the tub when I noticed the sausage. At first I was very startled because I didn't realize what it was. I even thought it might be something that came out of me. I was relieved when I saw it was only a sausage but became distressed again because I couldn't understand how it could've gotten there" said Grímur Pálsson, a middle aged man who had the unhappy experience of getting a sausage with his bathwater. According to information from the Reykjavik Geothermal Company the sausage was probably in the pipes for a while. When hot water from Nesjavellir was first pumped into the mains the workers neglected to empty out their lunch area which was located in one of the pump stations. According to the company a few coffee cups, one jar of sugar, and three liters of milk might also be in the pipes. In their announcement it also says "We have also lost a coffee mug inscribed with the words 'Dear Daddy' which, if found, should be sent to Kári Davíðsson at Furugrund 15."



I'm like 70% sure this is a comedy article, possibly written by a man who is now the head of Iceland's Radical Socialist Party, as part of a paper that had a sort of Weekly World News vibe. But I want to believe it is real.

Oh no, I just shortened it to be lazy and focused on the relevant part that was different. I can understand it being a misprint on the insert, but why would it also be that way in the metadata? I'll admit, it's a pretty weak mystery. I just found it odd.

Doesn’t that $120k cover banana replacements too? I remember reading something about how it’s less about the specific banana taped to the wall and more that you’re paying a guy $120k to keep a banana taped to your wall, or something.

Art!

The banana, part of Cattelan’s Comedian installation, gets replaced every two or three days.

Cattelan, a sculptor and performance artist based in New York, was reportedly informed about the incident and simply replied: “No problem.”

It is not the first time a banana from the work has been scoffed. During the work’s debut exhibit at Miami Art Basel in 2019 a banana was removed and eaten by the performance artist David Datuna.

Datuna later told the Guardian that while he considered Cattelan to be “a genius”, he took issue with the huge amount of money made from a banana that cost 20 cents.

The first and second editions on display at Miami Art Basel both sold for $120,000 (£95,640), and another was put up for sale for $150,000 before Datuna showed up to eat the fruit. “I have travelled in 67 countries around the world in the last three years, and I see how people live,” Datuna said. “Millions are dying without food. Then he puts three bananas on the wall for half a million dollars?”

Isn't the absence of a banana also a work of art?
They should pay this guy 120k to keep showing up and eating the banana.

I believe for CDs the metadata isn't stored anywhere on the disc, there's simply an online database somewhere that it pulls the info from. I've seen lots of issues with those, but I guess someone misheard "thawed" as "sod."

It sounds like there are a couple options, the online Gracenote database (for web-enabled players) and encoding directly on the CD (for players that support the standard).

But! From what I read you get unlimited 20-cent bananas forever, every few days. It adds up.

Back in the day I had a fancy CD Player that could read cd-text but the only CDs that came with it were dance music compilations like the Ministry of Sound Annual releases.

To be fair the bank itself will beg and plead with you to choose a better instrument if you walk up asking to stick a cool million in a savings account not least of all because they stand to make a lot more money from the freedom of not treating it like a savings account.

even if he meant 50 every day thats less than 20k a year. iow youd have to be investing at a less than 2% return to be better off with the 50 bucks a day
