I actually wanted to applaud at the end of this

"The Glee Club (at Horace Mann) sifted through over 500 complaints and picked out some of the most common complaints, some of the ones we thought were funniest, and others which just fit well with the songs we picked as our music. Enjoy!"

Age of Empires III is currently going for 10c/10p on Games For Windows

Here.

You need to have a MS Live account (the same one that's used for an MSN chat account, or for XBox Live). In fact, it takes you through the XBox Live signup, which was slightly confusing. You'd think they'd streamline that, or at least put different branding on it.

But for 10p, who can complain?

Edit: And after setting up my account, I popped back to the page and it referred to me as "WailedNeptune7", and I thought something had gone drastically wrong with their login system. But no, it had just assigned me a random "Gamertag", and then started referring to me by that name. I know MS are shit with usability, but really, What The Fuck?

More Games For Windows Fail

I downloaded the Viva Pinata trailer (fluffy kids game). What I got was the Shadowrun trailer (orcs with machine guns fighting elves with sniper rifles). These are not _quite_ the same...

Music within music within music

This is from Entroducing:

an album produced almost entirely from samples. It's a beautiful work of genius.

This is a cover of the same song, performed on the Eigenharp. Taking samples of music and reproducing them on an instrument that only became possible very recently.
