1. hinges

   A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them. Two objects connected by an ideal hinge rotate relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation: all other translations or rotations being prevented, and thus a hinge has one degree of freedom. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges, like the elbow joint.

1. Hinges

   Hinges is the ninth and final volume in the Fuzzy Warbles series released in September 2006. The album is only available as a Bonus CD in the 9-CD box set The Official Andy Partridge Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album. The Fuzzy Warbles Series brings together demos, rarities and side projects from XTC founding member Andy Partridge; the box set collects all 8 volumes, plus the Hinges bonus disc. The title "Hinges" is a play on the stamp-collecting theme of the cover design of all 8 previous Fuzzy Warbles volumes, and the packaging of the box set to resemble a stamp-collector's album. Normally, stamp collectors attach their stamps the pages of an album with special sticky fasteners called "hinges".

   Residents under the bombs would routinely recall being thrown through the air by the pressure waves of air mines exploding, and window casements and doors would be blown off their hinges, there were even rumors that wrapping wet towels around the face might save those in shelters from having their lungs collapsed by blast waves, which would leave victims otherwise externally untouched.
