Have to say, I couldn't listen to a radio station for more than a couple songs -- I had much better luck queuing up shit for myself. Right now listening to some Dap-Tone Records shit that is teh groovy. How can anyone not love anything on Dap-Tone records? It's practically inebriating.

Hurray!

I like Spotify better because then you can sample an entire album rather than single tracks. Sometimes those single tracks are very odd choices. I'll have to try the radio function, but I wouldn't be able to compare it to Pandora or iTunes. I have Pandora, but I haven't used it in ages. The last time I used it (over 2 years ago at this point, I think), they made me listen to some really obscure shit, and I couldn't be bothered to try and make a new station. Ian, don't feel bad -- artists get hardly anything from Spotify, so if you bought something based on hearing it, you are doing exactly as they hope you would. My only problem is in between artists -- there are artists that I have everything I want by them (e.g. Pineapple Thief), and there are artists I'm just discovering (TesseracT, Periphery, *Shels, etc.) that I have nothing by, but then I get to A Storm of Light, and I know I have And We Wept the Black Ocean Within, but I don't know if I have anything else by them.

I've fixed exactly this problem. As Ironbut says, once you get under the plate, it's pretty obvious. In my case, it couldn't be "tightened", so I had to jury-rig it back into place with some duct tape.

I'm not listening yet, but I figured a few other people are going to want to know: Neko Case on World Cafe

Alamo Drafthouse showed this before We're the Millers

Gazpacho, When Earth Lets Go

New SPC ECO (ex-Curve, RIYL Curve) album, Sirens and Satellites

The one person I know who is in the field doesn't do anything so small -- he does maintenance on very large equipment, so he has to go to them. I don't know how it'd work -- but it'd be harmless to find out, neh? Just look up those surgeons in your area and send out a mass junk mail. Alright, not so harmless -- cost of some stamps.

Medical equipment field maintenance is a lucrative if highly specialized field.

Do you get credit if I join? If so, post your special link or however it's done. Not that I'm in the market right now, but if/when I am in the market for something they're selling...

Conan O'Brien Can't Stop -- awesome. I figure it's the apposite to Howard Stern's Private Parts -- the HS story is for everyone who has ever hated a boss, the CO'B story is for everyone who has ever loved a boss. I just can't imagine anyone coming out of that and loving Conan less. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I'm just saying that I can't imagine it.
