Question: Which band has been around longer, The Pillows or Failure?
Context: A baseline in medicine is information found at the beginning of a study or other initial known value which is used for comparison with later data.  The concept of a baseline is essential to the daily practice of medicine in order to establish a relative rather than absolute meaning to data.  The meaning of baseline in medicine is very similar to that of the running baseline (baseball) being the direct path that a baserunner is taking to the base he is in route to.  If the baserunner is outside the 3 foot margin around his running baseline, then he is considered out.  Whereas if a patient with kidney failure (whose creatinine is usually 3.0 mg/dL) suddenly has a creatinine of 5.0 mg/dL, then his creatinine is out of his normal.  For that person with kidney failure, absolute normal no longer applies because he will never again be able to obtain an absolutely normal creatinine level (0.5-1.2 mg/dL) with kidneys that no longer function properly. The Pillows (ザ・ピロウズ , stylized as the pillows) is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 1989.  As of 2016, the group has released 20 original studio albums, several EPs and compilations, and over 30 singles.  Outside Japan, they are best known as the group responsible for the soundtrack to the "FLCL" OVA series. The Silly Pillows are an American indie pop band formed by Jonathan Caws-Elwitt.  They began as a home-recorded duo of Jonathan and his wife Hilary, sharing tapes through the cassette underground.  In the 1990s the band evolved into a studio-recorded full lineup, which dissolved in 2000.  In 2005, Jonathan and Hilary began home-recording again as "The Original Silly Pillows." Lostman Go to Budokan is a live performance video by Japanese alternative rock band The Pillows on September 16, 2009 at Nippon Budokan. The event marks the band's 20th anniversary (The Pillows started their career on September 16, 1989). It's their first performance at Budokan. Five or Six was a UK post-punk band, originally signed to Cherry Red Records by A&R head Mike Alway, who deemed them to be the act with the most potential from the scene he had helped create around the Snoopies club in south-west London.  The line-up was fluid, and apart from their key contribution to the best-selling compilation album "Pillows & Prayers", they are perhaps most notable for the various activities of most former members. Sukhasana ( Sanskrit: सुखासन ; IAST: "Sukhāsana"; ] ), easy pose, decent pose, or pleasant pose is an asana practised in yoga, Buddhism, and Hinduism, similar to sitting in a simple cross-legged position.  While opening the hips and lengthening the spine, the asana's relative ease on the knees makes it easier than siddhasana or padmasana for people with physical difficulties.  Some schools do not consider it to be as effective for prolonged meditation sessions because it is easy to slump forward while sitting in it.  For meditation, it is important that the spine be straight and aligned with the head and neck.  But if the practitioner steadies the sukhasana pose by putting pillows or blankets under the knees to create a steadiness, it may be easier to sit longer in sukhasana for meditation without slumping forward.  An additional blanket or pillow under the buttocks may also be beneficial and steadying.  The 20th century Jnana Yoga guru Ramana Maharshi advocated it as suitable for attaining Enlightenment. Prognostics is an engineering discipline focused on predicting the time at which a system or a component will no longer perform its intended function.  This lack of performance is most often a failure beyond which the system can no longer be used to meet desired performance.  The predicted time then becomes the remaining useful life (RUL), which is an important concept in decision making for contingency mitigation.  Prognostics predicts the future performance of a component by assessing the extent of deviation or degradation of a system from its expected normal operating conditions.  The science of prognostics is based on the analysis of failure modes, detection of early signs of wear and aging, and fault conditions.  An effective prognostics solution is implemented when there is sound knowledge of the failure mechanisms that are likely to cause the degradations leading to eventual failures in the system.  It is therefore necessary to have initial information on the possible failures (including the site, mode, cause and mechanism) in a product.  Such knowledge is important to identify the system parameters that are to be monitored.  Potential uses for prognostics is in condition-based maintenance.  The discipline that links studies of failure mechanisms to system lifecycle management is often referred to as prognostics and health management (PHM), sometimes also system health management (SHM) or—in transportation applications—vehicle health management (VHM) or engine health management (EHM).  Technical approaches to building models in prognostics can be categorized broadly into data-driven approaches, model-based approaches, and hybrid approaches. Another Morning, Another Pillows is a two disc B-side collection, released by The Pillows on October 23, 2002.  It features a cover motif, similar to the one for the simultaneously released "Thank You, My Twilight", though the band poses in drag this time. Failure is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles that was active from 1990 to 1997 and from 2014 onwards.  They are often compared to other alternative rock bands from that time that were similarly labeled as "alternative", such as Nirvana and Soundgarden, but are distinguished by their meticulous attention to textural sonic detail, inventive use of guitar effects and signal processing, and the overall expansive sound design of their later albums.  Failure reunited in 2014. Yoshiaki Manabe (真鍋 吉明 , Manabe Yoshiaki ) is the lead guitarist for the Japanese rock band The Pillows.  As a mixing engineer, Manabe has worked on albums by The Pillows and The Stereo Future.  He enjoys reading in his free time and is an enormous fan of Bob Marley.  He also has his own signature guitar made by Sago New Material Guitars.
