What Do You Want From Lyrics Sites?

Seriously, what is the deal with all those janky lyrics sites? You google the lyrics for Random Access Memories and you’re suddenly transported to the early 2000s. It’s sort of surreal. I’m not the first person to mention this by far, and yet the lyrics world just seems to stagnate.

Do You Still Rely On Free Paper Products For Random Things?

Earlier I caught a spider in my apartment by trapping it in a glass, slipping a takeout menu under the rim to cover the opening, and then tossing the spider onto the fire escape. Last week I needed to fill space in a package I was mailing so I got some copies of a free altweekly and balled up the pages. And, you know, sometimes you just need a pamphlet to put your gum in.


What Is The Prettiest Gadget You Own?

Beautiful design isn’t good design, and even the prettiest gadgets can still suck. But all that said, there’s something to be said for devices that are just easy on the eyes, and if they’re good too, that’s a bonus. What’s the prettiest gadget you’ve got hanging around?
