We have an outdoor cat, and our vet has recently started around the feline leukemia vaccination. Right. Explain a little bit about that. Feline leukemia virus is a very infectious disease in cats, and there's a vaccine which will prevent this in cats, and people should speak to veterinarians. You should- It requires a series of injections, and all pets should receive annual boosters. All right. [unintelligible] thank you, Steve, it was nice to see you. Nice to see you again, you're welcome And we'll be right back, next half-hour: Julian Lennon remembers his father. [Instrumental]

[Intro] She calls out to the man on the street "Sir, can you help me? It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep, Is there somewhere you can tell me?" He walks on, doesn't look back, He pretends he can't hear her. Starts to whistle as he crosses the street Seems embarrassed to be there. Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise. Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you... You and me in paradise. Think about it. She calls out to the man on the street. He can see she's been crying. She's got blisters on the soles of her feet. She can't walk but she's trying. Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise. Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you... You and me in paradise. Just think about it. Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be something you can say! You can tell from the lines on her face, You can see that she's been there. Probably been moved on from every place, 'Cause she didn't fit in there. Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise. Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you... You and me in paradise. Just think about it. Mhm Think about it. It's just another day for you and me in paradise. It's just another day for you and me in paradise. (para-paradise!) Paradise! (it's just another day...for you and me...) Ooh, just think about it. (in paradise...) Paradise! (it's just another day...for you and me...) Just think about it. (para-paradise!) Paradise! Mhm, paradise! Paradise! Just another day... Just think about it. [Fadeout]

[Intro] It was late one fall night at a fairground near town, When Esther first saw the Armenian man, Who groveled toward her and stood by her side, With a bucket that swung in his hand. His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks, And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the curb, And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle That flashed in his hollow eyed stare. He said "Little girl, you can chop off my legs And then peel off my socks if you want to. But I'd rather you took this old puppet from me That I hold in my pail as we speak." And he stood looking down at the innocent girl, And she stared at the bucket bewildered, Til he lifted the doll for the young girl to see, And a giant smile grew on his face. She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't resist, And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the church, And she burst through the door with puppet held high, And a hush filled the chapel, and the people looked mean. [Interlude] Esther tried in vain to pacify the mob. Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl. The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to fetch The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack. Through the window of the church a storm began to rage, And Esther knew the time had come to flee. She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance, And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be free. But the wind was blowing harder, And her skirt began to billow, Until finally her feet began to lift. And she rose above the people and the houses, and the chimneys, And Esther and the doll were set adrift. Floating higher over the hills, and the valleys and treetops, they'd flutter and glide, Soaring and turning suspended on air, With the earth far below them they'd tumble And dive through the clouds. [Interlude 2] And she began to plummet earthward till she Landed in the nasty part of town. She glanced about the village sure to find the evil men, Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of night. Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the Puppet on her rump. Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid behind A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited Till the dawn, Cause it would have been a blunder to Succumb to a hoodlum on the prowl. When the morning came, she wandered through the streets Along the chilly lake that lay beside the town. At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound, It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her down! As Esther stood and shook her head, The joggers were approaching And she knew she had no choice left but to swim. As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her hide, She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her skin. Naked now she made her way toward the shore, When suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe. And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny Little arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go. The waves seemed to open and swallow her whole, As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green deep, And the sound of the laughing old man filled her ears, As she drifted away to a tranquil And motionless sleep. [Outro] [Fadeout]

[Intro] I've called you so many times today, And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say. That you don't ever want to see me again, And your brother's gonna kill me, and he's six feet ten. I guess you'd call it cowardice, But I'm not prepared to go on like this. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you! I can't stand losing you! I can't stand losing you! I can't stand losing you! I see you sent my letters back, And my L.P. records, and they're all scratched. I can't see the point in another day, When nobody listens to a word I say. You can call it lack of confidence, But to carry on living doesn't make no sense. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing [Interlude] Oh! I guess this is our last goodbye, And you don't care, so I won't cry, But you'll be sorry when I'm dead, And all this guilt will be on your head! I guess you'd call it suicide, But I'm too full to swallow my pride. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you! [Fadeout]

[Intro] The world was on fire and no one could save me but you... It's strange what desire will make foolish people do... I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you! With you! (This world is only gonna break your heart) [Interlude] What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way... What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way... What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you! And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you! [Interlude 2] The world was on fire and no one could save me but you... Strange what desire will make foolish people do... I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you! (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you! (with you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart) (This world is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one... [Fadeout]

[Intro] It's a human sign, When things go wrong. When the scent of her lingers, And temptation's strong Into the boundary Of each married man. Sweet deceit comes calling, And negativity lands. Cold cold heart, Hard done by you. Some things look better, baby Just passing through. And it's no sacrifice, Just a simple word. It's two hearts living In two separate worlds, But it's no sacrifice, No sacrifice. It's no sacrifice at all. Mutual misunderstanding After the fact. Sensitivity builds a prison In the final act. We lose direction. No stone unturned, No tears to damn you When jealousy burns. Cold, cold heart, Hard done by you. Some things look better, baby Just passin' through. And it's no sacrifice, Just a simple word. It's two hearts living In two separate worlds, But it's no sacrifice, No sacrifice. It's no sacrifice at all. [Interlude] Cold, cold heart, Hard done by you. Some things look better, baby Just passin' through. And it's no sacrifice, Just a simple word. It's two hearts living In two separate worlds, But it's no sacrifice, No sacrifice. It's no sacrifice at all. No sacrifice, at all. No sacrifice, at all. No sacrifice, at all. No sacrifice, at all. [Fadeout]

[Intro] You know I've been here before, And I dont like it anymore. You know its true, But what could I do? You know I've felt this before, And I don't need it anymore. You know it's true, I love you. [Interlude] You know I've been here before, And I dont like it anymore. You know its true, But what could I do? You know I've felt this before, And I don't need it anymore. You know it's true, I love you. I love you, I love you. [Outro]

[Instrumental] [........This feels kind of boring, yknow? Just typing in "Instrumental"? Like of course people will know instantly if the song has lyrics or not, give them a few seconds!] [Oh...sorry for rudely interrupting your lyric searching, I haven't introduced myself to you. Im Lyricy, and I'm the guy showing all the lyrics! Be happy I'm here, or else you would've had to search up the sample! Scary, I know.] [Anyway, while you're here, I think I'll just give a little factoid about anything that doesn't have lyrics. It's fun, and it gives you something to read about!] [Fun fact: Did you know that this sample (Ashley's Roachclip)'s drum break has been sampled almost 500 times? Of course it's not as much as the Amen break, but still quite alot of songs! Some examples of people sampling this include Burial, Duran Duran, J Dilla, Panda Bear, and many others!] [Fadeout]

[Intro] Baby's into running around Hanging with the crowd, Putting your business in the street Talking out loud Saying you bought her this and that And how much you done spent, I swear she must believe it's all heaven sent! Hey boy, you better bring the chick around To the sad, sad truth, The dirty lowdown. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) Taught her how to talk like that. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) Gave her that big idea. Nothin' you can't handle, Nothin' you ain't got. Put your money on the table And drive it off the lot. Turn on that old lovelight And turn a maybe to a yes. Same old schoolboy game Got you into this mess. Hey son, you better get on back to town, Face the sad old truth, The dirty lowdown. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) Put those ideas in your head. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) [Interlude] Come on back down, little son, Dig the low, low, low, low, lowdown! You ain't got to be so bad, got to be so cold. This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old. Got to have a Jones for this, Jones for that, This runnin' with the Joneses, boy, just ain't where it's at, no, no. You gonna come back around To the sad, sad truth, The dirty lowdown. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) Got you thinking like that, boy. (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) [Interlude 2] I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who. Said I wonder, wonder, wonder, I wonder who, Oh, look out for that lowdown. (ohh, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) That dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty lowdown. Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who. Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who. Got you thinkin' like that, Got you thinkin' just like that, (Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) Lookin' that girl in the face is so sad, I'm ashamed of you! I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who. [Fadeout]

[Intro] Anyone who ever held you Would tell you the way I'm feeling. Anyone who ever wanted you Would try to tell you what I feel inside. The only thing I ever wanted Was the feeling that you ain't faking, The only one you ever thought about Wait a minute, can't you see... ...that I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms? I, I feel you, yeah, I hope you comprehend. [Interlude] For the man who tried to hurt you, He's explaining the way I'm feeling. For all the jealousy I caused you, States the reason why I'm trying to hide. As for all the things you taught me, It sends my future into clearer dimensions. You'll never know how much you hurt me. Stay a minute, can't you see... ...that I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms? I, I feel you, yeah, I hope you comprehend. [Interlude 2] Too many hearts are broken. A lover's promise never came with a maybe. So many words are left unspoken. The silent voices are driving me crazy. After all the pain you caused me, Making up could never be your intention, You'll never know how much you hurt me. Stay, can't you see... ...that I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms? I, I feel you, yeah, I hope you comprehend. I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms... I, oh I, I feel you, I hope you comprehend.

[Instrumental] [Hi! Lyricy here again. for another fun fact, this time revolving around the artist behind this sample, The Beatles, and more specifically Paul McCartney, and even more specifically around his Bass Guitar: The Höfner Violin Bass.] [You see, this particular Bass Guitar doesn't look like a guitar at all, and indeed more like a violin. That's intentional, as the hollowness of a violin makes the bass sound more rich and like a Double Bass, without all the weight of one!] [Paul picked up his particular Höfner due to it's shape being more lending to a left-handed person, like Paul! He ended up getting two of these Höfners, a 1961 one with stacked pickups, and a 1963 one with separated pickups. The 1961 one would later be famously stolen along with George Harrison's Gretsh and Rickenbacker.] [Back in the day before Beatlemania, a Höfner Violin Bass would cost about 30 Pounds, but nowadays a Höfner 500/1 will cost you about 2000 Pounds! That's going from 38 dollars to 2567 for all you NA people! Did you also know that Tame Impala and Aerosmith have a Höfner?]

B5 - Who? 07:12
...Julian Lennon 5 years after his father's death: "Do it yourself, but don't blame me", interesting advice from a father to a son. It is now 44 minutes past the hour, Joel Seagull's Weekend Tips, after this. [Interlude] It is now 47 minutes past the hour, and as the song says, it is beginning to look alot like Christmas. It is 19 days 'til Christmas, 450 hours, but who's counting other than my kids? Joel Seagull says the season will be in full swing across the country this weekend, good morning Seagull! Good morning Charlie, it started 28 years ago. Someone doing something nice for someone else, someone he'd never meet, just because it was Christmas, making sure that someone would at least get a pair of mittens for Christmas, so he or she could keep warm. It has since become a tradition. There is a 20 foot tall Christmas tree in the lobby of Baltimore's municipal building decorated with mittens! Store-bought, hand-nit, nothing formal, stop by and put your pair on the tree, it will all go to people that need them. More than 7 thousand pairs this year, just because it's Christmas. A Scandinavian Christmas tradition...[unintelligible] [Instrumental]

I'm never ever gonna quit 'cause Quittin' just ain't my shtick, I'm gonna stay right here with you And do all the things you want me to! [Fadeout]

(this is half serious, half joke please dont fucking kill me jord)

Nowhere in the Middle of Somewhere: Redux is (99% likely not) a recreation of Nowhere in the Millenium of Space: Redux that extends the original samples to their full runtime. It is NOT meant to be super totally accurate to the original, but just accurate enough so you could suspend your disbelief or something. Unlike many other fan projects of this type, this one plays around with stuff and is not afraid to change and innovate, if you went in expecting hour long tracks full of only bumper, then fuck right off, I don't need you anyway.

YEAR ONE - SIDES A-B

The first year is basically any other Stage 1 in existance. Something Something happy memories Something Something great days of recollection Something Something they wont last for long. Who cares anymore? People just want their "[X] music to stim to" without the context, what has happened to humanity anymore??

CURRENT STAGE: CLINICAL STAGE TWO (EATEOT Stage 1)

YEARS REMAINING: 7
