“Im moving to a shiny new house, and in the process found 2 original copies of the SHTF cassettes and covers, a sealed Im in Trouble, a boink on vinyl sealed, a boink on cassette”

So that’s where I left them!
Jaytaco, just send them back to me and I won’t charge you for renting them all these years. Thanks for taking good care of them!

So, how does one convert a flac file to something I can store on my ipod? I can play it on winamp, but stuck on the conversion thing.”

This page will show you how to do this using Winamp and ITunes:

Of course 5:05 was intentional. And of course the front was backloaded to reach that time. Just listen to the lyrics…
there is no mystery…it is a very straightforward messge.
I mean c’mon (c’mon, c’mon) CRACKERS!!!!!

I meant no slight at all (I save most of my insults and slights for people I know). I called it “missing” too. I think RJ’s comment way up at the top #1 there is pretty spot on.

I’m not sure if Jodi’s comment above “(er, make that a lot of confusion)” is a slight or simply an affirmation of my thoughts on the “missing 5:05″ idea, but I’d be curious to know what people think. It seems odd that Westerberg would offer a track that exactly clocked in at a time that completes 49:00 if it wasn’t intentional, but I haven’t seen much speculation about motives.
