Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

i know, i don't really get it either... this really maybe doesn't have
much to do with the original question of whether it's ok to download
mp3's without paying for them.

but i guess my answer is that it seems like fads are cycling ever
faster and faster. (remember electroclash? remember dancehall?) and
maybe that's because there's no huge stylistic shifts to break that
circle??

hm

actually you're right, that's all bullshit. i simply don't understand
what kids listen to, and that's the end of it.
