"Mastered for iTunes" is shittier than mp3 format, but not as shitty as Pandora or Spotify.

Hey that's probably a selling point for some people. People still buy cassettes too.

Well, I think that that means it was converted to AAC format (Apple's version of MP3, 256kbps) directly from the 24-bit master, rather than 24-bit to 16 bit CD format to AAC, or 24 bit to MP3 to AAC.

That might be what they're getting at, that it's not the final master, but why would you bother to advertise it as such? Surely most people have no idea what this even means.

"Studio mastered single"? Is that a selling point? Like, literally almost all music is mastered in a studio.

When did Napster hit? 99? It makes sense.

So, they offed her after the album of Tom Waits covers and replaced her with a replicant, is what you're saying?

The geishas and other robots are practical (at least partially) but you'd never know it from watching the trailer. Which is a shame, as they look really nice in the behind-the-scenes stuff I've seen.

Yeah, absolutely.

For fuck's sake, this is not how it works. Even if this bill passes, it's still illegal to buy any individual's search records. It's aggregate data that's up for sale here. Where is all the money people are dumping into kickstarters and gofundmes going to go once people realize they can't just buy any random…

Don't forget rappin' Alan Thicke.

His new album has 80 credited writers.

I can't believe there's twelve of them. The last one I even really knew about was like 5.

I've seen this happen at the bar I work at too. Then we found out fire drinks are illegal in our state. No more tiki night!

And the costume was made of tinfoil and saran wrap.

It's the best Thing suit for sure.

Oh yeah, you're right. I was confused because it's another Van Lente book in addition to being 90's Valiant.

That's too bad - it's great.
