The tricky part is learning to smell smoke and mirrors, cause they're everywhere. Not just in dotcom. What we need is a story about the world ending and a space ark to carry all the bullshit artists somewhere far away... Just don't send off the telephone sanitizers. We need them!
Do you know how many problems could have been avoided if we never came down from the tree's to begin with? Douglas Adams:

but far more great music and far less bad music was made in the 70s than there has been in the 90s or the 00s No, you just don't remember any of the bad stuff. In 20 years we won't remember Britney. We'll remember Radiohead, we'll remember Pearl Jam, we'll remember the bands that don't suck.
Since the 60's there has been no major visual art movement in anything! Go talk to Paul Graham. It's because visual art has become so corrupt that you can't be good and get loved by the art community at the same time. As for music, I'll just remind you that Michael Jackson topped the charts in the late 1980s and in 1990--basically until "Smells like Teen Spirit". The most popular album this year was the soundtrack for a musical. It's a cyclic phenomenon. Stylistically it's pretty much always been about a combination of styles.

Because EVE's target demographic is the people who like tweaking spreadsheets in such a way that it fucks people over.
Wasn't one of the USA generals in the expansion the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" General?
I liked the Yatta song too, but what does it have to do with anything?
What I imagine Dvorak does is think up some decent predictions, then claim the opposite.
This is because "soft" players are the ones that don't cost more bandwidth money than their subscription fee.
UNix Isn't uniX.
I could have sworn Indian music had a lot of repetition in it as well.
And people wonder
why poetry all sucks now
This is the reason
Babies aren't music.
Alice in Chains is antique?
The Doctor.
That article had massive sample size bias but anyways, Paul Erdos. Though he actually had a disease that made erections painful.
Abstinence rates are higher when sex ed doesn't teach abstinence.
Gabriella Gray?
I finally believe those Christian groups that think sex will ruin your life--you proved it.
