I started using Tidal about six months ago. I like it a lot better than Spotify. And the artist gets paid more. I only use Spotify when we are working on a streaming goal.

Do they feel infected? My first advice is not to sleep on them, but you said you don’t. How are you cleaning them, I always clean my new piercings with rubbing alcohol a few times a day.

I’m so proud of him.

I love when the locals show appreciation for Bangtan members, rather than dismiss them as “just Kpop idols.”

Epik High are the best marketers in music. Absolutely top tier!

And if you have a chance to go to their show, do it! They are so fun live.

Me neither. Can we just hit fast forward until after the inevitable collapse and emergence of universal income?
