I also just reworked my archive and category indexes. It was a journey.

I've loved this Elliott Smith cover by Chris Garneau since forever. "Recorded by Duncan Sheik" was unexpected new detail I learned today.

"Noble had an astral plane experience with Balisarius that somehow revived him"

The worst part of a bad movie. If you're going to bring your antagonist back to life to milk a property, at least make it believable.

Anyone know anything about Spotify audio quality? I hadn't noticed until tonight, when I started playing some old (128 kbps) mp3s from an old mix I'd made that had some deep cuts not on Spotify. I did a head-to-head comparison of a track that is on Spotify and it's subtle but noticeably worse on there than my (low bitrate) mp3.
