Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

What is even happening?

Oh, I think it's fascinating, don't get me wrong. Just that...if it was "Do that or equation or I'll kill you!" I'd be a very dead girl.

Yeah. When I see people do math like that, I feel sort of the same as when I look at super thin models. I *know* it's technically a possibility, but I don't know how, and have a hard time believing it's real, even when I'm looking right at it.

did you like the format? cause if so, why care that is a franchise?

Well when I heard it I was all, whoa, great idea, and then I was like, dude, this station really knows me, then I was all down with the guy doing the Jack taglines, and now I'm just feeling like a sucka.

And also, I was willing to overlook a few crappy songs because I figured there was some independent DJ coming down from his pot-break in the back room and realizing he accidently left Madonna's "Holiday" on the playlist and it doesn't seem as funny as it did at the time. Now I suspect the songs are played based on actual surveys and marketing tests. Ugh.

See, but math is like using a vibrator. For the longest time they had us convinced it should only be attempted by people with advanced degrees, but actually you just need some free time and privacy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I dunno ... sure looks like this group's having fun in public.

The status is NOT quo.

See, I also do not have one of those. I read people talking about them, so I know they must exist, but I'm never quite convinced.

It's important to get the right angle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

that post needed a disturbing analogy warning.

7 more CDs to rip and I am done with my first binder. I'll still be under 500 songs.

msbelle, then comes the joy of playlists -- do you not have iTunes at home? Or no CD drive in the home computer?

And THEN, the playlists get smart. It's a drug.

Because books.

I don't know. In that case I see myself banging my head against the wall, with no one to stop me.
