I wasn't in before www, though.
I uploaded the studio version here because I find the thought of people only listening to the live version unacceptable.
The Bad Plus' cover of Wilco's Radio Cure. Runner-ups: their cover of Iron Man, their cover of Lithium.
I'm very glad you like it. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

Hipster, teenagers riding the bandwagon, pretty much anyone who wants to pretend their shaky cellphone pictures are 'artistic'.

My entire timeline on twitter was sincerely outraged at the fact that their hipster-exclusive service will become popular. I hate that place.

Ads are hardly the point... think about this like google buying youtube. Instagram has expanded horribly fast since its birth.

>"You have problems which are unexceptional. You can't be stressed; my problems are worse."

Yes, this annoys me. The idea that it is impossible to suffer if you're not the one who is suffering the most is just ridiculous. The idea of 'first world problems', or that you shouldn't mind something just because some people have it worse is absurd.

Wikipedia says they're both right, but styluses gets more hits on google.

When the time comes for the Pad/Laptop Singularity I'm sure we'll have figured out how to solve the keyboard issue. And wouldn't a stylus work for photoshop as well? Styluses rule.
