There are two versions of the album Tommy: the studio cut made by The Who, and a soundtrack of the movie featuring the voices used in the film.

Honey is the only food that never spoils!

actually anything with low enough water activity and protein content won't ever spoil, refined granulated sugar, so long as it is never moistened will never spoil either, honey is used more often as an example because there have been jars of honey found intact in tombs in egypt, so there is field evidence, but food chemistry says that anything that meets the low enough protein, low enough water activity should be fine

that being said anything above a certain threshold of water activity <depends on what governing body you listen to, states, county, national have different ideas different places> under any circumstances should not, without some method of preservation, be left at room temperature <or any temperature above 40\41 farenheit, again, depends on which governing body you are listening to> for a combined period <including prep time> of four hours or more

there are also two versions of the one trick pony "sound track" one which is honestly a sound track, and one which is missing soft parachutes, do you believe in magic and two other songs which I cannever remember

there are MANY versions of the wattstaxx concert album, as there are film soundtracks, versions showcasing different artists, it really is very much convoluded

Wikipedia - 'Disk Jockey' wrote:
Bedroom disc jockey
A person who owns DJing equipment (i.e. turntables, mixer, CDJ, etc.) and has a passion for music, but does not play out to crowds at bars or clubs. Instead, they opt to play their music at home for their friends, record mix tapes or broadcast over the internet via audio broadcasting software, such as SHOUTcast.


I guess that's kind of like me! However, I don't "broadcast over the internet" because it's not legal for me to do so without a license from one of the various "major record companies"...

The eyes and nose of a frog are on top of its head, enabling it to breathe and see when most of its body is under the water.

I have heard that Siamese cats are basically black cats with points. There is actually such a thing as a black Siamese. They are incredibly beautiful.

Two phobias for the price of one — a person who has an irrational fear of childbirth can be said to be either maieusiophobic or tocophobic.
