Jens Roland - How To Kill The Music Industry
(via artistspaid)
(via amyyy)
Perfect! This is exactly what I was trying to say yesterday, in a discussion about the “decline” of the music industry.
word wholly unrelated*
sacrilegious & religious
the former from sacra legere (to purloin sacred objects). the latter from religare (to bind).
*etymologically speaking, duh.
Interesting.

My first thought: “Wow, Amazon’s recommendation system really is incredible.”

a trick i picked up
whenever anyone asks you a hypothetical question about what you would do in a certain situation, ALWAYS say you would do the most noble option.
ie. if you are asked if you would run into a burning building to save a litter of stray kittens (even if they are kind of ugly), your response should be, “hell yes! and if i see any smouldering hamsters in there, i’ll pocket them as well. and if i can’t get out of the building, i will lob each animal one-by-one out of the window to the firefighters with life nets below. the last piece of flaming flesh that drips from my face shall be my smile EVEN if the hamsters have worms.”
the beauty of hypothetical situations is that they are hypothetical.
