If were to release an album of all their audio-beds on iMusic or Spotify, I would certainly listen to it when on a run.
Weird that a core drama in THE X FILES is that Mulder is a weirdo and his operation a joke, even though every episode he solves some ancient mystery and/or proves the existence of higher intelligence while everyone else in the FBI weeps like man babies

It's a band called Vamps, they're pretty good. Their lead singer is 46 and looks 16. I am 26 and look like an onion left out too long.

Having watched the Mo Lahyani pep talk video, I understand it despite its unethical nature. He’s sitting there watching the sport be dragged under by NK, and the fans. Wants to bring it back from disrepute (and then, by doing so, adds to the shambles). But I *get* it.

At least after Brexit and Trump, the old debate of who is smarter - Britons or Americans - is finally settled. And the answer is Canadians.

Finished THE INNOCENCE FILES. Incredible show. We all know how corrupt (or inept [or racist]) the American justice system is. But it’s still edifying to watch a show that is as humane as it is unsensationalised.
