Roar Lion Roar! CUtunes.com...

If you went to Columbia University and are a user of iTunes, please check out this website . It's a website that uses an applet to interface with your computer to find out information about the music you listen to...
The website says:
"CUtunes is a web-based application designed to provide information about the music-listening habits of the Columbia Community. Currently we offer the following services and features:
Top 40 songs, albums, and artists
Information about musical compatibility with other users
Recommendations for new music
The ability to browse through other users profiles
Current week and all time information"
In any case, my sister's friend, Blake, was one of the people who designed it and this will answer the all-important question, what does the Columbia Community rock out to when blasting music from their computers... I can't say it doesn't feel a wee invasive. I mean, I feel like I have guilty pleasures (Go-Go's, Neil Diamond, Noise Addict) but aside from Strafe's "Set It Off", David Banner's "Play", and many covers of "Ooh Child", it's not too embarassing to share...
Thanks, Eric

is the university spying on us?
I don't believe so... But that's a funny idea. Imagine if they were, only to figure out if the music we listen to correlates to our low-level of alumni giving... Dear Columbia, worry not, when I'm a billionaire, I'll give you plenty of money, which I'll earmark for important projects: a)food that isn't all processed and gross, b)build a dorm that actually has decently-sized dormrooms, c)regular laser light shows in the Low Library rotunda, and d)create the Millard Fillmore prize, an award for the graduating Columbia College student with the most average GPA (My mom's idea)... I think it's also possibly a good way to discover music (for those times when pitchfork, popmatters and the other decision makers of eardrum candy neglect to introduce you to some artist who is truly awesome....) - Eric
Here is the Uptown Local version of the school fight song. Your post title reminded me of it. If you are a child, please stop reading now.
Whores, lots of whores;
There's so many we can keep a tally.
Spend cash on hookers 'til you're poor,
Catch diseases transmitted sex-u-ally-
Like Chlamydia, CHLAMYDIA!
Fucking whores up against the door,
And on the floor,
'Cause there's nothing like a good cheap whore.
