We've all been there, it's late (or early), maybe you've just destroyed a giant chunk of 7075, maybe baja stole your giant billet of 7075 to make some awful cantilevered or else non-structural dangus, or maybe sleep deprivation is just making you irritable.

Try this out...it works like magic, especially after several hours of industrial grindcore:

I wonder what it is about ABBA that makes all FSAE teams listen to it...

Hahaha, see my posts in the 'Things I love' about how my only Pandora stations are "ABBA" and "70's Funk/Soul."

Yeah, I really can't understand it. The station is basically comprised of songs that nobody on the team would ever even confess to listening too...yet it is basically the only thing that is played in the shop after 10:00. Actually, I think the main reason we play it is because baja hates it! Not that they spend much (if any) time in the shop after 10:00 anyway...

Thanks Baja radio for getting us through our Friday night 2am CNC rebuild.

Something about ABBA, Gunther, Lady Gaga, and Aqua fit the mood perfectly...

HAHA, no worries. I think we owe everyone in the paddock an apology with Lady GaGa blaring from our trailer almost every day. I recall walking to the bathrooms and still being able to hear it. Dancing queen was a nice relief Wink
