Listening to this song, it occurred to me that people rarely sing a song on their own these days. Each song seems to feature about 5 famous people to max out the listeners, I guess. "Die young" is by Kesha, or Ke$ha, as she likes to bill herself. The electropop song was written by Kesha, Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Cirkut, and fun. singer Nate Ruess. The official remix features rappers Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Becky G. See, what did I tell you? Some people are refusing to play this song, because there are entirely too many people dying young.
I reported a light out to the electric company. They can't find it. I went to all the trouble of reporting the number on the pole and the type of light. I guess it didn't help. Now, they want me to provide an ADDRESS near there. It is really out in the boondocks. I wonder how they are making out at work with the soda machine. I was always the one who would harass the Coca Cola company whenever the machine ran out of Diet Coke.
Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore : a novel, by Robin Sloan. It started out delighting me as it was about books and bookstores and libraries. Eventually, it lost me, though. Got a bit too much into codes and games and science fiction. A guy is working in a bookstore which has very few customers. The books are shelved UP instead of OUT. He asks himself, "Is this a book club? How do they join? Do they ever pay?"
Also includes the history of printing and type faces and secret societies, like the order of the Unbroken Spine. There is also Google and spying...."I sit up straight and do the first thing a person is supposed to do in an emergency, which is send a text message." His girlfriend works at Google..."everybody at Google likes codes....Books: boring. Codes: awesome These are the people who are running the Internet".
