Things That Made Me Happy This Week, Week Eighty-Four

It's a great pick-me-up--a light and breezy listen, with an expansive western- ( Read more... )

While I was loading the page again I assumed the flamewar would've been the same global-warming argument that's been had in the same terms seventy thousand times; little did I know it'd be the same "this is cool, therefore someone must have created it"/"nuh-uh!" argument that's been had in the same terms seventy thousand times.

You'll definitely get it, though, since I'm interested in seeing what parts you like and connect to better.
