No, there's been no drama here. In fact, really, you've missed nothing. It's like going from the pilot of Arrested Development to the Netflix season, you probably won't even be able to tell anything's changed. Sure, someone's hand got eaten or something, there's been some weird sex stuff, some drama, some people left the family, but meh.
That's actually all I've seen of Arrested Development and a friend really did think I wouldn't miss anything. Also that was a surprisingly good metaphor.

BEA is strange.

I'd say the fact that over 20% of our Top 250 albums got to #1 on the Billboard Chart means the answer is a resounding 'yes'. Interesting list, I liked it.

It's Baudelaire.
| Quote: | La Nature est un temple où de vivants piliers
Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles;
L'homme y passe à travers des forêts de symboles
Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers.
Comme de longs échos qui de loin se confondent
Dans une ténébreuse et profonde unité,
Vaste comme la nuit et comme la clarté,
Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se répondent.
II est des parfums frais comme des chairs d'enfants,
Doux comme les hautbois, verts comme les prairies,
— Et d'autres, corrompus, riches et triomphants,
Ayant l'expansion des choses infinies,
Comme l'ambre, le musc, le benjoin et l'encens,
Qui chantent les transports de l'esprit et des sens.
— Charles Baudelaire |

"Journey of the Sourcerer" became the theme to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also, that is a really cool album cover.
