tomf Link ParentTraitors is basically a simple version of Werewolf. It works well for a TV show. This one isn't as dramatic as the others --- those can be over the top.Traitors is basically a simple version of Werewolf. It works well for a TV show.

I have one for my assistants and when people are over etc -- they can fuck it up all they want, then I have another account just for dinner time that is all jazz and soft stuff, then another for my actual listening... but I also ruined that with my sleep stuff, so I'm gonna do another account for that, I guess :)

it thinks I am 23 years old.
7539 songs listened, 3631 artists, 91998 minutes... and I'm a leader of Cloud State Society -- whatever that is.
In reality, for spotify, I mostly listen to soul, jazz, dark techno, east coast rap from the early to mid 90s, lots of death grips... and then this nordic jazz for sleep, cooking, etc.

He's funny and makes music for every episode that is super catchy... way better than it should be for a one-off

If you give them a credit card, its still free, but you dont have to worry about regional availability.
One note: once you pick your region, you're locked in for life and they're really good about preventing people from having multiple accounts.

Now, on the positive front, there's a lot of optimism around the Merc PU... so maybe it'll all be fine.
I'm also going for Max to scoop this if Oscar can't pull of a monkey paw.
If you haven't already, Dark Wire by Joseph Cox (404Media) is an excellent, quick read all about it. If it wasn't reported on and was in a movie, I'd call it lazy hollywood bullshit -- but the way it all goes down is perfect.
