I found it at once loud and boring, like watching paint dry while getting hit over the head with a frying pan.

Let’s say we have a pizza. It has a radius of z and it has a height of a. That would mean it has a volume of
pi * z * z * a.
Thank you reddit. (And yeah, my computer science background makes me define this as a formula, not an algorithm.)
Damn, I’m hungry.

A 192 page full-colour booklet of every sleeve design from WARP, two double CD albums (one of which is the user voted compilation disc), a mix CD, a triple and double vinyl box set for US$150 sounds like an unwise and guilty indulgence in troubled economic times. It sounds like great value but what a huge hole in the pocket this will burn…
I need more time to think.

I’ve downloaded hundreds and hundreds of records – why would I care if somebody downloads ours? That’s such a petty thing… I mean, how much money does one person need?

What an absolutely stunning game intro video! If you’re a Beatles fan or an animation fan, you’ll like this — if you’re a fan of both, you’ll be left speechless. The beginning minute or so of the animation is in a flat Manga-style (which I am no big fan of). It gets into mind-bending brilliance in the second half (just as the guys get on the escalator).
What a sweet video and what a sweet way to encapsulate the early and later (and better) Beatles’ discography; I can’t get over it. I just want to keep watching it again and again and again…

From an acoustical perspective, music is an overstructured language, which the brain invented and which the brain loves to hear.
