Macmillian is currently looking for several hundred identities of suspected file-sharers, accused of uploading artists under the Ministry of Sound label."

    People just don't understand me. Why can't they just accept that we have different sexual drives in life? ;_;

    Oh, I'd simply love to 3. But I'm a bit blushing towards building up the protected double-life required for my mommy/gf not finding out about my randy gay orgies with turkish assboys and imported russian manwhores. She'd be so very, very disappointed in me. Ah, santorum, how I long for thee.

    Your average MoS compilation is bus compressed so hard that I don't dare subject my amps to it, go anywhere near the clip light with that stuff and you know your spending a significant fraction of your time putting out DC.

    Wow! I don't know what half that meant, but it sounded damn insightful!
