Re: Games, Apps, 'n Stuf

Does anyone know a good Android app for music files ? I'm looking for one particular feature, the app has to allow you to check the random playlist it generates, so you can erase or move the songs and not have to come back every other song to press skip 4 times. Itunes had it but no luck so far on t...

Re: FMD: Movies that "Own" Certain Music

I watched the Chase yesterday (it s Brando week! ) so I dvred Streetcar and went with LA. I liked it, even though Pruitt's comment about the greatest hits is right on.

Slutty young Betty Draper ! Crazy in love Rick Grimes ! (That was off-putting)

Black Mirror is now available on Netflix streaming. Don't know if we ever had any discussion about it, but it's an incredible show. Only 6 episodes, but each one is pretty brilliant. It's a British anthology series, basically an updated, technophile version of The Twilight Zone. Seconded. Awesome s...
