Back in the 2010s it seemed like every vinyl release came with bonus tracks to incentivise buying the physical copy.

Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age ends with an absurd 6/8 brass ensemble that eventually abandons the theme and becomes total cacophony. It culminates in a sustained, ear-piercing crescendo, and just past the point where you think "I don't think I can take any more of this", when you're not convinced it will EVER end, it hard cuts to complete silence. And then the record is over. The title of the song is "I Think I Lost my Headache" which is what it feels like when it ends.

On the vinyl version (and I think the deluxe CD as well), the hard cut is immediately followed by Ode to Clarissa, which totally ruins the anticlimax effect.

Personally, even in more subtle cases I prefer bonus tracks to come on a separate 7". The beauty of this format is that it encourages you to hear the structure of the entire album, and bonus tracks at the end kind of mess that up.

I cannot for the life of me find the progenitor of this phrase.

Is this normal for an apartment building?

I've been at my first full-time design job for several years now and I work in an extremely specific discipline. I haven't had much chance to diversify my work, especially when it comes to applying a single brand across several media (collateral etc). All the examples I have of this are fictional projects from college some six or more years ago. At what point in my career am I just misrepresenting my work at worst, or just looking green at best?
