Random information on the term “Slime”:
The slime coat (also fish slime, mucus layer or slime layer) is the coating of mucus covering the body of all fish. An important part of fish anatomy, it serves many functions, depending on species, ranging from locomotion, care and feeding of offspring, to resistance to disease and parasites.
The mucin making up the slime coat is secreted by goblet cells in the fish’s epidermis. The slime contains a variety of antimicrobial peptides and other antimicrobial components such as lysozyme and C-reactive protein. It contains mycosporine-like amino acids to protect from ultraviolet radiation.
The slime coat of some fish aids in more efficient swimming by reducing drag, attributed to the Toms effect. Slime can reduce the friction experienced by the fish by up to 65%. Generally, the faster the fish, the greater reduction in drag provided by the slime, but there are a few exceptions.
Random information on the term “GOO”:
Goo is the sixth full-length studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on June 26, 1990, by DGC Records. For this album, the band sought to expand upon its trademark alternating guitar arrangements and the layered sound of their previous album Daydream Nation (1988) with songwriting on that was more topical than past works, exploring themes of female empowerment and pop culture. Coming off the success of Daydream Nation, Nick Sansano returned to engineer Goo, but veteran producer Ron Saint Germain was chosen by Sonic Youth to finish mixing the album following Sansano’s dismissal.
Goo was a critical and commercial success upon its release, peaking at number 96 on the US Billboard 200, their highest chart position to date. Although it lacked significant radio airplay, its lead single “Kool Thing”, a collaborative effort with Public Enemy’s Chuck D, reached number seven on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Since then, Goo has been viewed as one of alternative rock’s most important albums, and is considered musically and artistically significant. In 2020, the album was ranked at number 358 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest albums of all time list.
