Avatar ♥ 1:29pm It's just Bob:

isn't it sort of a bummer when you find a sweet compilation or obscure record you love to death.. then you type it in and ALL of it is posted to youtube?! ... I guess it's a great thing of technology.. but a part of me has a bit of disdain.. perhaps greedily wanting it to be my own special thing. seems silly to complain about now that Im typing it out. also.. who is gonna own these sweet artifacts of musical goodness if they can just click around..
Avatar ♥ 1:32pm βrian:

Or maybe a Bánh mì sandwich?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Charlie:

Well, (it's just) Bob, the quality on YouTube is pretty poor, though...
