It's credited to one "Jeuness" and is titled "N'Krisset". It's very low fidelity and I can't honestly place its origin, though it sounds like it might be from somewhere in Africa.
I can't imagine anyone has legal rights to this, so I'm not worried about being sued or anything. I'm just pondering the morals of it.
I ripped it off Beware of the Blog (WFMU's official blog) some time ago, but I don't recall anything about it other than where I got it from and google's turning up nothing.
I always get jealous seeing my friends from my old school because my old school’s classes were a lot harder and I feel like I’m copping out by not taking harder classes even though I don’t have a choice in the matter.

Eh, as long as it's used tastefully and not used in a superfluous way int the music, it shouldn't be a problem.
Of course it would help if these 20th century field recorders ever thought to credit the people performing the fucking songs, but I suppose I can't really beat myself up for the mistakes of another person.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
And with the completion of my last two final exams and my final paper for art history, Fall 2011 is officially complete!
...Unfortunately, I'm not so confident about my art history grade. Please be a B or even a B-, please...

I wonder...was there ever a time when there weren't autistic people?
There was certainly a time when the term "autistic" meant nothing to anyone, but whether or not the condition itself existed is probably a pretty complicated question. IIRC, there's a lot of debate still about how exactly conditions like that work and where they come from (some people insist they don't exist at all, which just makes the whole thing harder).

Yeah, we don't even know what exactly causes autism in the first place. It seems pretty clear that it's genetic, but like a lot of other genetic conditions, it's not one or two common gene mutations or whatever that cause it. It appears to be more like a ton of little genetic changes that add up. Thus making things really complicated.

I see.
Earlier I ran into a man who seemed to act somewhat autistic, but he was old enough that he was probably never diagnosed with any ASD because it probably just wasn't a thing when he was growing up...it got me thinking, that's all.
One thing I hate about collaborating with people on music is the inevitable long stretches of silence from them. Like, I can't check in every damn day, but uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I haven't heard from either Cel-Man or Blackgold since the 15th and Cel-Man's last message was something really vague about how he just got back into town and his lips were bleeding or something and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
It's actually generally considered to not be true (only a few studies have ever even suggested a link, and the formerly most credible of those was faked), I think Kexruct was kidding.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.

Magnolia and Whitsett, North Hollywood (down the street from Mom's place)
No visit to North Hollywood is complete without a stop in at Joe Peeps. Best pizza in the valley, no joke -- and by the slice. Really popular with celebrities around here too.

I love the lettering on that Chandler Blvd. sign.
Also I like the juxtaposition of the faded old traffic green (yellow?) traffic signals and the relatively new McCain programmable visibility ones.

The reason those new ones are there is because at one time, Chandler Blvd. here used to have a mass transit train that rolled through here but stopped long before mom moved here in the late 90's. So, the city just recently decided to pave that rail like and make it a bus-only route which the residents here fought tooth and nail because of "noise" issues. In LA. Where there's always a siren or a ghetto bird going over.

Oh, I see. They must have used programmable-visibility signals so the drivers on the mainline wouldn't mistake the busway's signals for their own and vice versa.

Cleverbot: You.

I'm prolly just worrying over nothing though.

Here you go, CA
Anonus: no idea
Here's what I had for dinner tonight
Sounded less resentful in my head
Hold on, I'm going to log back out and try this again.
I did not plan for this scenario.
basically its the case that life is not something where you gain +1 EXP FOR SNARK USED or whatever
also the word 'snark' has just become synonymous with bitter nerd sarcasm in my mind so it makes my brain cry a little when i see it used
i thought you were going to be focusing on being a chill mofo anyway, nobody will be sick of that anytime soon
Yeah you're right tho. And a snark is something you hunt.
