The Imperials - Flash And Crash (1966)

Essential raw, pounding garage rock from Seattle.

It's probably more accurate to call this Rocky and the Riddlers, as that was what they were calling themselves when they recorded this. But the tumblr censors had no problems with the version on the History of Northwest Rock collection by the Imperials (same band). The version on Back from the Grave might be a bit faster.

Difference between the US and international releases of Is This It by The Strokes. The international cover was the original artwork for the album, but RCA deemed it too offensive for US audiences, and fearing backlash, particularly from American conservatives (a band on their first album! Come on), it was changed to a photograph of subatomic particle tracks in a bubble chamber. Julian found the US cover 'cooler than the ass pic', but the international versions were already out, since the album released in Australia in July, and in Japan and the UK in August.

That wasn't the only change on the album though, the following month, as 9/11 happened, New York City Cops was dropped from the US CD version of the album. For obvious United States reactionary reasons (though they're hardly the only ones to get sniffles from references. The BBC in the UK was known for banning songs with references to unfortunate events relevant to the British public since forever, never quite forgetting its Reithian roots).

But it was too late to recall or change the vinyl versions, which were released with New York City Cops on it, because the vinyl came out on—I shit you not—11 September. They replaced it on the CDs with When It Started.

Can you listen to New York City Cops on American versions of music platforms? Not on the album, not yet in fact! You can find it on the Hard To Explain single that came out before the album.

Can you listen to When It Started outside the US? Yeah, but weirdly not even as a Strokes single, on Apple Music it's only on the 2002 Spider-Man film soundtrack. I imagine they'll probably consolidate both songs if they ever reissue/remaster the album, but if there was ever a time to do that it was in 2001, which was 1. 20 years since the album came out 2. when the band were literally together, having put out The New Abnormal in 2020 and literally even appearing together from a warehouse (???) to accept their Grammy for that album (though I will maintain till my dying day that TNA is not a better album than Fontaines D.C.'s A Hero's Death. Come on.)

Anyway, my little presentation on a couple of differences between different versions of Is This It, while I'm procrastinating on some work I should've completed an hour ago. Though I have noticed, any new vinyl I've seen of the album these days has the subatomic particle artwork. Maybe the band requested it, having actually liked it more. Maybe it's a marketability thing. Or a reflection of a hell world that's becoming more conservative.

Apple Music's writeup about the album below the cut, for anyone interested.

tiefgarage am dom // köln altstadt

there is underground parking under the domplatte in cologne. that in itself is not spectacular information. however, you can immerse yourself in the history of cologne in this complex, because the remains of the old roman city wall run right through the underground car park, you can look into a cellar from the same period and discover a hidden medieval well. the whole thing is embedded in the brutalist architecture of the garage. on one side, the reinforced concrete of modern times  and on the other its ancient predecessor in an aesthetic symbiosis. and the best thing about it is that even when everything upstairs is flooded with crowds of tourists, it is relatively quiet and empty downstairs. apart from the cars, of course.

End of the year questions: 21?

21. What’s something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year? everything is new! i had a big mid-year move and didn’t bring much with me, so nor only is my house completely new to me but i’ve spent a good while curating my new living space and acquiring a bed, dresser, decor, and a fun little filming setup on one side of my room (see below)

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to simblrs whose sims you adore ✨️

thank you so much for sending this to me!! ✨️💜 i really appreciate it!! and i'm so sorry for letting this sit in my inbox a long time 😭

i may talk about him a lot, but it's never enough, so here are five new facts about the king of my blog aka grant 👑

when grant wants to feel something, he'll watch videos of the curiosity rover on mars singing happy birthday to itself 🎂 it's so incredibly sad but cute to him, so it immediately turns on the waterworks lolol 🥲

objectively, grant is NOT a car guy; he's 110% an airplane guy. however, he owns a car that makes him look like a car guy and gets him approached ALL THE TIME by people who want to talk cars. it's a 1960 ford galaxie and it looks like this, except i think it would be a nice shade of light, almost minty green or maybe blue (no, i haven't decided, and probably won't because there's no cc version of this car for the sims 4, so we'll never see it lol) 💚💙

why is that his car? 🚗 well, it was his grandparents' car, which he bought off them when they wanted to replace it; they have never had a garage or a carport in their entire life, so the car was exposed to the elements for fifty years, and it was, thus, fucked up. they were also tired of fixing it. however, it's a sentimental car because aoife and joseph met working on the same production line at a ford auto factory, and this car was the first one they bought as a couple in their marriage (even though aoife ironically does not know how to drive lmao). they wanted it gone but also didn't, you know, so grant bought it because he also didn't want to see it gone; he'd spent his whole life sandwiching into that backseat with 8 billion of his cousins. oh, aaandddd he bought it even though the necessary repairs were extensive, which he did all by himself with help from his grandparents and uncle (aka people who know shit about cars)

a shorter fun fact: he smokes luckies 🫢

grant has been on TV before! it was very brief, for like five seconds, but he was interviewed by his hometown news station after his high school hockey team won the state championship game one year and he was granted the MVP title. he was very nervous, and his friends ended up nicknaming him "mr. team effort" because his entire interview was him just saying things like, "oh, um, well, it was a team effort, and we worked really hard...together...as a team..."
