Idiots On The NME Facebook Page

If you "like" NME on Facebook there's a high chance that you're already aware that everyone who comments on their links is a massive idiot. Pop music hating, indie-stereotype cynics with poor grammar. Usually. Often the opinion of this group of people is the same; if it's new it's bad, if it's cool it's bad, if it's popular it's bad, and ironically since they "like" the NME- If it's written by the NME it's bad. I just thought i'd have a little scroll through and pick out a few gems for you to prove my point. I like to entertain myself by reading the comments in an over the top Adam Buxton voice.
(I'm not going to censor the names because they put these comments out there in a public forum so i think I'm allowed to ridicule them a little bit)

100 Songs I Have Loved And Lost On Last.fm

On the 19th of May 2010, I joined music sharing site Last.fm. Since that day, I've racked up 21,642 plays. You can add me as a friend here. A few days ago, I noticed that I had "loved" exactly 100 songs. Thats when I got the idea to look back through them and see how I feel about those songs now! So, part one: 25 songs "loved" between June and September 2010.

I am an art lover, and a music lover, but mostly i'm an aesthetics
lover. At the Lisbon Design Museum, i nearly burst with joy. Literally. I was hyperventilating about perfect dresses and tables and chairs, everything was RIGHT. I think maybe this obsession with aesthetics is what makes Tumblr and Flickr so appealing because its like a constant stream of goodness. So, i thought i'd just do a trawl for some of the most aesthetically pleasing images and post them here, for when i next get Design Withdrawal Symptoms.

These images are from this Flickr featuring lots of perfect scans and stuff. 1970s childrens interior design from a book called Sunset Children's Rooms & Play Yards.
