QUITE POSSIBLY THE HEAVIEST BLUES TRACK OF 1967 -- PURE, STRAIGHT-OUT-THE-SWAMP HEAVY BLUES.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the ultra rare Buddah "Plastic Factory" (b/w "Where There's Woman") single by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND, taken from the recently unearthed mono masters to the Captain's 1967 debut LP "Safe as Milk," released on Sundazed Music as part of Record Store Day Black Friday in 2012.

But, yeah, this track boasts just the murkiest, dirtiest, most menacing blues sound you've ever heard, and with the bass guitar being totally up front in the mix as well, hence the track's power, ferocity, and overall depth.

This ain't the Summer of Love at all, people, and it's just a really super-HEAVY and scary-sounding, no frills, blues cut. The Captain's harp is absolutely masterful as well, and it remains my all-time favorite track on his "Safe As Milk" (1967) debut LP until my inevitable doom. Check that shit out if ya haven't already!

does anyone else's well loved DS and/or 3DS also have a bunch of scratches in the middle of the screen? i dont even know how that happened lol do you recommend any 3DS screen protectors btw i need to replace mine because it's messing with my inputs a little

if you use the appropriate stylus that will never happen as the stylus is made of a softer material than the screen, however if you use other objects as styluses that is likely to happen. the 3DS/DS both use thicker soft plastic sheets to do touch detection. I don't really know if screen protectors for the 3DS are useful because it could cause further loss of inputs- though I haven't used any.

You can replace the touch screen without replacing the entire screen, but you'd have to buy a new one since I think they use a light adhesive, and I think removing the touch sensor just ruins the adhesive (aka, you can't use a touch sensor from another DS cuz it won't be sticky anymore)

I haven't done the repair myself, but I did do research because I have a DSi with a broken touch screen (the ribbon cable is broken) so I know those parts are sold, but I don't know the exact price point.

basically, screen protectors for the touch screen of a DS is redundant- they already have them built in, and they are built to be able to take some scratches. if it really bothers you, you can replace the touch sensor.

link to one from ifixit (though I don't know if it works for all models- and these parts are probably all made in the same factory so if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, then it might be worth your time.)

“Mary Woronov burned herself into my brain when, as a college student in 1966, I first saw her smouldering, imperious performance in Andy Warhol’s epic film Chelsea Girls. She was one of the most original, stylish and articulate sexual personae of the royal House of Warhol. I never forgot her, and I followed her subsequent movie career with great fascination … Warholism, which is my philosophy as a critic, merged the visual and performing arts and closed the gap between high and popular culture. Thirty years later, it can be clearly seen that the Warhol Factory, with all its riveting decadent excesses, was as seminal an avant-garde circle as that of the Dadaists and Surrealists after World War I in Paris.”

/ Camille Paglia from the back cover blurb on Mary Woronov’s 1995 autobiography Swimming Underground: My Years in the Warhol Factory /

Born on this day (8 December 1943): insolent Warhol Superstar turned queen of cult movies, actress, writer, visual artist and recovered amphetamine enthusiast … Mary Woronov! I love the strikingly angular Woronov’s deadpan performances, resting bitch face and witheringly contemptuous voice in Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972) (recommended Christmas viewing), Death Race 2000 (1975), Rock’n’Roll High School (1979), Eating Raoul (1982) and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989). (I just recently caught Woronov in the apex of lurid 1980s exploitation cinema, Hellhole (1985) (tagline: “CAPTIVES … stripped naked. Forced to submit to the ultimate experiment … pray they don’t succeed!”). Even in a cast including Edy Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Williams and Dyanne Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS Thorne, Woronov totally dominates as – what else? – the sadistic villainess). But hell, Woronov is even great value doing guest spots on episodes of Charlie’s Angels (1976) and Murder, She Wrote (1985). One of the best things she ever did was play the mother in punk band Suicidal Tendencies' 1983 video “Institutionalized” (“All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me”). Pictured: cute couple! Woronov with Lou Reed, when she was one of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable stage dancers.

Feels like I've been ranting about American employers expecting low wage workers to still go into work during horrific and catastrophic events for a while now and workers just keep dying and I hate it here.

buy local except youre in a global south country so your phone are technically locally made because the metals are found literally several provinces over and the assembly factory is located on the next island.

https://youtu.be/0cgYcVi4ABI Worldwide, there are probably thousands of plastic buckets and packing makers. Many businesses produce buckets and other plastic containers for consumer goods, construction, food, and chemical industries. Finding a company that offers the proper buckets for packaging goods can be a nuisance and take much effort. Don't worry; this
