NOOO! How did I miss this?! Jesus that makes me sad.

That could be the weirdest party ever.

Labyrinth is still one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. It has a certain "trueness" to it that just cannot be copied. It seems right.

Castle Hill in New Zealand is also a prime fantasy location. Well all of NZ is. As we've all seen in Peter Jackson's LOTR.

Here is a panoramic photo.

Of all the fort cities I've seen. Jaisalmer in Rajasthan captured my imagination the best.

Happy Feet 2? I hope that was a weird attempt at irony!

I was listening to Björk's "Homogenic" album when I stumbled on this video. *Shivers* Now I can't stop thinking about the android in The Windup Girl combined with the Chris Cunningham video of All is full of love. That is some very nice CG work there - in real time none the less.

Dave Chapelle needs to come back to us. I miss him dearly!

I just checked Rdio again. And it seems they're now available in my country. But the library is very limited it seems. Maybe it's just the free version. Can anybody in Scandinavia confirm or deny library/rights issues with Rdio? I can't play most new albums. If the full access one allows full access in my country -

I just checked again. It IS $200 a year in Denmark - taxes ups the price... That's the price you pay to live in a socialist paradise! :)

Rdio has it's library limitations as well. But the main reason I don't use Rdio is that it isn't available in my country yet. They also stream in extremely varied quality - at least that is what I've gathered from my free access. And finally Rdio isn't supported by Squeezebox as far as I know...

I was converting to USD in my head. I realise it is actually less for premium access. I pay on a monthly basis though. But $120 is even better!

Library limitations are a pain - but I don't really run into it very often. And you can always add your own tracks to Spotify. Large artists also avoided iTunes at first - I'm hoping this will change with Spotify as well.

"Seems to me that Robinson thinks art is science, or that it's a tool of science. She gets a lot backward in this." She? Kim Stanley Robinson is male...

1) I agree completely about the mobile app. It works, but that's about the limit of what it can do.

I am a little dumbfounded as to why so many people don't like Spotify. I know the service isn't perfect. Of course not. The mobile app is sketchy at best and the Facebook tie in is annoying for some.

Yes.

That's a COTD right there. If only the comment could travel back in time.
