Mr. Boarding Pass Generator got off! Despite the apparent lugheadedness of the Feds with whom he fought (as evidenced in the article provided). YAY!

Life… is like a grapefruit. It’s orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast. - [...]

Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down.

Of course the game is rigged. Don’t let that stop you–if you don’t play, you can’t win.
Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)

Has leaked onto the internet.
This guy’s compared one of their latest tunes to Panic! At the Disco, whom, until afew days ago, were providing support to (get well soon, Matt!).

Now, if YOU want a cool new track, check out [...]

I can’t believe some of these people…
