Lala was great, you could upload your own MP3s and stream them or you could purchase them directly (for download or streaming as a "web song"). If you were a registered member, you could listen to any album/song once at no c

Hearing that "cello" sample that Bush used made me feel like looking into a marble quarry and trying to see sculptures waiting to be released from the rocks.

There are definitely places where "spliffs" (weed+tobacco) are the norm, but it's definitely atypical.

I'm 4th generation Japanese-American, and in no way whatsoever qualified to answer your question, but I'll gladly do it nonetheless: they prioritize the collective over the individual.

No, a nail technician is a job that sustains many immigrant communities. They may be faceless to you but they're real people getting pushed out of jobs. This "automation device" isn't anything like a smartphone.

>sure, but can it model my amp? I believe you can already create your own impulse responses (from your personal amps).

I feel the same. I watched (and enjoyed) lots of college basketball when I had roommates that were heavily invested in games' outcomes but never again since.

I taught myself how to flatpick on guitar. Three years later, I found out that I held the plectrum incorrectly. Though I've learned the proper way (and will switch to it in order to tremolo a la Dick Dale), twenty-five years later I s

I'm a big fan of King and as such implore you to recommend specific works: nobody should read 'Rose Madder' on accident (or even as punishment, I don't care the transgression). Have you read Robert Jordan's 'Co

I had a friend in undergrad that was moving a pretty significant number of modded (original) XBoxes at a pretty significant markup...but it turned out that he also offered a particular service that was largely driving sales: a larger hard d

I don't think the example vindicates you in the manner you believe. The damages would surely exceed the missing wheels if resolved in the courtroom.

Your response was dismissive of the possibility that families could throw a family member into a nursing home to raid their savings, etc. I'm telling you that this happens and providing a real-world example from my own life, just like

I don't know people who have done this but I know people that are impacted by people that have (e.g. small towns along the Hudson river being inundated by people fleeing NYC).

I'm almost certain that salt was never added to butter as a preservative and your "cleaner" method theory is unsound: there is nothing about churning that would accidentally introduce salt. Salted butter is probably best tho

Gilmour used to do the same: record multiple solos, pick the best parts, re-record.

Your pedantry is outdated: there are Serato-compatible decks that have MIDI pads built into them, not everything is trying to mimic the SL-1200s aesthetic these days.

I use my Kobo like it's "dumb"...but I generally have to use Calibre to convert epub to kpub for it to format right on the "page".
