This website is kind of amazing when you think about it. In order to even know about it, you have to be into kind of niche stuff, nostalgia, customization, effort, basically. In an era of algorithms that tell you to consume and consume and consume, people on this website build the corner of the internet that they want.

Top 5 Songs: I kid you not, every single one was from Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence Top Artist: I think we can guess (Lana Del Rey) Estimated Age: 82 Who the hell did the age calculations.

I got to her house, her friends & I got ready, the music and vibes were good and loud, and we all looked nice, so we went to take pictures at the one appropriate spot in her middle-of-nowhere town: the park lol. We all piled into my tiny EV, even though there was some sitting on laps involved, got out, and took some cheesy-in-retrospect group and i... » Continue Reading
