But when I was younger, I used to soldier through and it would go away. I dont even know what words to describe it but I'm glad it's not just me.

I have a set of pretty standard wireless can style headphones and some of the vinyl(?) coating on the earpieces is starting to rub off. The manufacturer doesn't sell replacement pads, so I'm looking for covers. I remember seeing ads frequently for covers from some brand that just looked like circles of nylon fabric that stretched over the earpieces, one size fits most kind of operation. Of course now that I need them, I can't find them, and my google fu is weak. What term should I be looking for?

Is there a place to find information on bootleg CDs? I'm not talking about like a burned CD-r, but like unofficial pressed discs. I was doing some media intake at my thrift store and someone donated their decently sized CD collection that was collecting dust somewhere. While I was going through the box, I kept coming across these albums that just didn't look right but I couldn't put my finger on why. The further I looked at it, I realized there was a UPC barcode but no record label credited anywhere on the case or front insert and I realized they were bootleg discs. I don't know if this is still the case but I know at one point in the past, there were some bootlegs that were coveted by collectors but I have no idea what the CD collector landscape looks like these days. I'm sure these ones aren't particularly prized and I'm not trying to get rich off these discs or anything, I'm just curious to know if it would be worthwhile to price them slightly higher than our usual five CDs for a dollar. If I could get a couple extra bucks to the Humane Society for them, I'd like to. Heck, would it even be legal for me to sell them at the thrift store in the first place?

I'd be curious about that too. I always thought that the most coveted bootlegs were of particular live concerts, with surprising recording quality. Like some guy who paid off a sound tech at Madison Square Garden for a board feed to their Nagra tape recorder, or those weird guys who'd walk around with X-Y microphone pairs on their heads at Grateful Dead shows. Would be surprised to learn bootleg copies of just regular old studio albums might be worth anything.

I can't say for sure, but those CDs kind of sound like promos sent out by record labels to radio stations. The disks were often unadorned, and you had to know what was on them. Thanks to knowing someone working at a radio station we got Guns n' Roses Appetite for Destruction before it was released, same with Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine. So it seems possible they are demos/prereleases of regular stuff.

One of them is Dance De Luxe by Prince.

Are there statistics anywhere about the time signature of the songs that have appeared in the charts (top 40 or whatever) per year? I'm sure songs in 4:4 time appear much more often than 3:4 or 6:8 or anything weirder, but I'd be interested to see a graph of their relative popularity over time, and my google-fu is failing me.

Are you counting songs that have parts in an odd meter, or songs that are entirely in an odd meter? You'd probably bet as I would that the former is a lot more common than the latter. Hey Ya and Tom Sawyer both have measures in odd meter but are predominantly in 4/4, IMO. Wish I could help you with that graph. You've mostly got me thinking 'what are the most popular songs in any given odd meter?' Money is probably the hottest one in 7/4, but Solsbury Hill is a way better use of it and actually stays there the whole song, IIRC.

My intention was to ask about the overall song, although I suppose it's also an interesting question to ask about pieces that have some odd measures. My attention was drawn to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald due to the 50th anniversary of the actual shipwreck a few days ago (even though the song didn't come out until the next year). The song is in 6:8 (or 3:4 depending on how you count it) and it got me to wondering how rare that was, and if that had changed over time.

That song is 6:8 for sure.

If you want 6/8 songs the easiest way is probably to type “Viennese” or “Viennese waltz” into YouTube and restrict the search to playlists. For 3/4 do the same but with “waltz”.

Does making bread with yeast change the nutritional content of the flour/end product? Like does 500g of flour made into bread leavened with yeast have different nutritional value than that same 500g of flour made into pasta or chemically leavened bread? I would assume the yeast consumes some of the energy to fart out CO2 to leaven the bread? But maybe those calories get recycled in the form of dead yeast we eat? Similarly but slightly differently to account for any calories or w/e consumed by the yeast, does 100 calories worth of pasta have the same nutritional value as 100 calories of yeast-leavened bread?

Short answer: yes, yeast packages also have daily values like all food products, and some nutritional and caloric value Longer answer: https://bakerpedia.com/the-role-of-yeast-in-baking-nutrition-and-health/ I'm not sure of the specifics for you 100g question though

Idk the science, but the nutrition is pretty easy to figure out just by looking at nutrition labels if you're asking about macronutrients. For example Trader Joe's Ciabatta (contains only flour, water, yeast, barley flour) has 19.5g carbs, .7g fat, and 3.3g protein per 100 calories. Conversely, 100 calories of Barilla angel hair pasta (contains mostly flour and water though it's enriched with more vitamins than the bread) has 21g carbs, .5g fat, and 3.5g protein. Those are close enough that considering the margin of error in these measurements I'd say that no, the leavening process isn't making a meaningful difference in the nutritional content of the food.

Doesn't the fact that yeast eats sugar to make CO2 matter? That would lower the nutritional content, no?

Absolutely, the yeast are digesting the flour and muliplying, which means there are less calories overall (lost as CO2 and heat) but more protein and micronutrients (transformed by the yeasts for their owm usage, then you are eating the yeasts) are formed and many of them become more bioavailable. Apparently British PoWs of Japan allowed yeast to grow in their rice in order to make up for the relative lack of micronutrients like niacin in plain rice.
