I get much love from the comments: "There MIGHT be another post in a few hours. Don't get your hopes up too much though." FUCK. Do you really think that anyone cares about what you have to say? the only reason anyone goes to your blog is to download music for free. How does one respond to such insightful criticism? List my site statistics that show my rapidly growing fanbase? Reprint letters an...

What would The Crystal Method be classified as? And are they even
Yes, I just saw Tropic Thunder and it's the funniest, most entertaining movie I've seen in a long time. Oh my god, Robert Downey, Jr. should win an Oscar for his performance.

I hope all you Americans made it out to vote today. I know I did! Luckily I live almost literally next to my polling place, and could walk right in and out. Hopefully all of you that had to wait in long lines felt it was worthwhile. If anything do it for the sticker you get (or the free Starbucks...thought I did miss out on that one.)Yay for Democracy. (This song is my patriotic go-to btw. And ...
