The Clash, CBS-Epic Records/UK (1978)
For fans of Pittsburgh’s legendary band THEAFFORDABLEFLOORS, bassist Eric Riebling has a real treat on his website here. It’s 1,000 Days, which - had everything gone according to plan - would have been the major label debut of “THEFLOORS”… as in the line “We’re changing your name, can you wait in the foyer?” from the song Nothing Personal on All the Things I Meant to Be.
Some these songs ended up on ATTIMTB, some of these were re-arrangements or re-recordings of tunes from their first 2 LPs, and at least one - Once In A World - was a live favorite that never quite saw release in any other form.
Enjoy it, and revel in this lost piece of Floors history.

Recently I received a phenomenal gift - a print from Fab.com called SONG MAP. It’s got a slew of song references on it in a faux-London setting. I’m continually astonished at the tunes that are cited on it: Long Promised Road by The Beach Boys, for example, and an abundance of tunes by The Jam are included. Fortunately I found an off-the shelf frame that fits it just perfectly.
Stumbling around the internet today, I discovered that St. Etienne used it for an album cover illustration for their Words and Music by Saint Etienne release, and an art collective called Dorothy created the map. In their Shop they also offer prints along similar lines called Film Map as well as The Colour of Popular Music (click to see each print).
Their work is intriguing, and as Elvis once said, “It will fascinate you.”

Between greenhouses filled with classical music, no music, easy listening music and heavy metal music… what tunes help flowers bloom better?
BLACK SABBATH. It’s true. Click here to find out the scoop from the Guardian.
Sadly, the flowers subjected to the music of Cliff Richard died.

I’m sure many of us have wondered… why are the spindle holes on 45RPM records so big?
The Straight Dope has the answer. The answer, it seems, was due to format wars between Columbia and RCA:
In presenting the 45, RCA came up with some drivel about how 45 RPM was the optimum speed for sound reproduction. But it was revealed that in fact RCA had told its engineers to come up with any old speed so long as it wasn’t compatible with Columbia’s system. The big hole was apparently supposed to make the two types of records even more incompatible.

Listen up, all you NICK DRAKE fans: Pink Moon’s gonna get you all… this Thursday evening when you will be able to see one in the sky!
Probably not as pink as this photo, though. Anyway, click here for more.
Sorry, North Americans - we probably won’t be able to see it:
Unfortunately, in North America, none of this eclipse will be visible, since the actual instant of full moon occurs on Thursday afternoon (April 25), when the moon is below the horizon.
