A lost version of a song from Freddy Mercury, how to survive wildfires and prison, devices that will literally shock you even new albums from old guys, here’s what we’re talking about this week.
A previously unreleased version of the title track of Freddie Mercury’s sci-fi rock musical “Time” has been released from the archives. It turns out that Mercury recorded a stripped down version with piano accompaniment, “Time Waits For No One.” The piano version was recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios, where the Queen frontman had met singer/producer Dave Clark. Clark finally unearthed the track in 2018… and he says it gives him “goosebumps.” “It became a mega-production, which I was happy with and Freddy loved,” Clark notes. “But I didn’t think about what we had originally done until a decade or so later.” Check it out.

Before he was locked up for criminal damage, all Carl Cattermole knew about prison was what he’d seen on TV and in the movies. Once inside, he discovered it wasn’t the “bloodbath” that he’d seen on TV, nor was it the rehabilitative experience politicians pretended it was. After doing his two-and-a-half years, he started writing out all the things he wished he’d known before going in…and now his guide to prison life’s been published.
Prison: A Survival Guide has just been released, and it’s a wealth of information for any burgeoning criminal or prison wannabe. Inside, you’ll find survival gems like:
- How to make salad dressing using a tin of tuna and “brown sauce”.
- Cleaning up the blood and puke from other inmates is the best paying gig in lockup.
- How to make “jail Velcro” with a coat hanger and a draw-string bag.
There are also some handy tips, too:
- Before going in, make sure you cancel all phone, cable, and internet services so you don’t get hit with the bills after your release.
- Claiming to be a “bedwetter” won’t get you a single cell anymore, but “hearing voices” might.
- Cigarettes aren’t the barter material they once were. Now, it’s tuna tins and toiletries.
