I always get superexcited when a package I ordered X months ago finally arrives. usually I've completely forgotten about it by then so it feels like my birthday.

big up the redeye pre-order crew.

The road outside my office is currently gridlocked with taxis protesting the lack of a taxi rank outside The Shard. A good old fashioned go slow is one thing, but stopping hundreds of vehicles in the middle of the city seems a little bit much... already seen one white van man nail it down the pavement!

never really gave it much thought until a few days ago, but the way people consume music today is weird. always saw youtube, soundcloud or w/e services out there like previews or a means to promote the music; didn't occur to me that a lot of people use it to actually listen to it that way. it's like listening to shit on radio or mtv only, but with more control over the content

yeah some of my friends don't have any music on their ipods/phones and instead just listen to their 'likes' on soundcloud

I actually enjoy a "soundcloud funride" now and then. wouldn't use yt to listen to albums / music though, except for the reasons you already stated (previews and that).

AxeD, sharing is caring.

I know you weren't man, just saying, sure I read somewhere the album had a Mandarin cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" on it, so guessing it's that!

[...] Helen Feng's nonsense lyrics on Shanzhai (For Shanzhai Biennial) (a cover of Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U) invert those racist modes into a perversion of Western pop via senseless babble as it reads to a non-English speaking audience.

yeah.

what do you think of the album, by the way?
