Toaster
A toaster a.k.a. a toast maker, is a small electric appliance designed to brown or "sing[e]" sliced bread by exposing it to radiant heat, thus converting it into toast. Toasters can toast multiple types of sliced bread products. Invented in Scotland in 1893, it was developed over the years, with the introduction of an automatic mechanism to stop the toasting and pop the slices up–the "pop up toaster" in 1919 being a significant development. The most common household toasting appliances in the 2010s are the pop-up toaster and the toaster oven. Bread slices are inserted into slots in the top of a pop-up toaster, which make toast from bread in one to three minutes by using electric heating elements. Toasters have a control to adjust how much the appliance toasts the bread. Since the 2000s, pop-up toasters with wider slots have been manufactured, enabling them to toast bagels cut in half or thick-sliced "Texas toast". Another trend of the 2000s is the increasing availability of four-slice toasters.
The Toasters
The Toasters are one of the original American third wave of ska bands. Founded in New York City in 1981, the band has released nine studio albums, primarily through Moon Ska Records.
History
Englishman Robert "Bucket" Hingley relocated to New York City in 1980, where he managed that city's Forbidden Planet comic book store location, and formed The Toasters in 1981 after seeing The Beat perform at the Roseland Ballroom. The group's first live show was supporting Bad Brains at A7 in 1981. One of the original third-wave ska bands, the early lineup of the band included other employees of the store. The group self-released their first single, Beat Up, in 1983. They recorded their Joe Jackson-produced debut EP, Recriminations, in 1985 and after failing to find a label to release it, Hingley formed his own Moon Ska Records label. The group collaborated further with Jackson, whom Hingley had known since 1978 and who appeared under the pseudonym Stanley Turpentine, on later albums and in live shows. The group expanded with the addition of a brass section, and their first full-length album, Skaboom!, was released in 1987.

Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down
by: ToastersShow me the land of the midnight sun
That's one place I still haven't gone
But you won't go far
If you stay where you are
Baby can you hear me, can you understand
I know this planet like the back of my hand
There's no time to waste
To find that (last) secret place
I'm buying a ticket on that mystery train
Heading down that lonesome [2nd time = endless] track
If I had to do it all again
Their ain't no turning back
Chorus:
I'm running right through the world
I aways said I would explain in a letter
I changed my mind 'cos I thought it was better
If we left out the parts where the teardrops start
Long distance loving on a mobile phone
No squeezing blood from this rolling stone
What's there left to say
when the wheels have rolled away?
Too many wrongs don't make a right as everybody knows
Sometimes there's cryin' in the middle of the night
But that's just the way it goes
