Been listening to The Killers' Mr. Brightside (an awesome pop track: the lyrics are cheap and cheerful, but the balance of the song is just perfect) on single-track repeat a lot lately, but just now I tried to cue it up a couple of times on Gronk only to (re)discover that [livejournal.com profile] jwz's code doesn't allow you to cue the same track up multiple times in case, you know, you're drunk and mishit the interface or the RIAA are watching you or something.

Waider - putting the shit is mishit! I saw the Killers last year and they were an amazing band live. The only problem was that everyone else in the audience thought so as well, so when their latest tour tix went on sale for the Boston area, they lasted all of fifteen mins on Ticketbastard. Seems the scalpers have hired some MIT hackers to bypass the virtual waiting rooms and the tix appear on Craigslist after 20 minutes with comments such as "I bought a ticket for my granny, but I forgot she was dead so I am selling it for ten times cost to cover my angst" and such. of course I woke about two hours later....well it was the Saturday after Friday night!
