Idolator
A novel spin on the "for your consideration" e-mails that get bulk-sent out to critics around year-end list time: "hello, in the event that you are putting the justice record on any year end lists we wanted to make sure you had the proper information because over the year a lot of reviews incorrectly listed the album title as cross. it should read: Justice † (Downtown/ Vice / Ed Banger) ... note: to get the cross-like symbol just hit your computer's option key and the letter t." Helpful—but what the e-mail left out: The character's HTML character entity is 8224 (it's listed as the "dagger"). Dear already-beleaguered-enough Web production editors: You're welcome!

Be careful out there.
sigh.
Well, that helps, but where's the Zoso key?
Here's my review of the album, written in a language I just made up:

I like the "must be using a Mac" assumption implicit in their "hit your computer's option key..." instructions...
@sparkletone: Especiall when they're emailing the public, which is over 90% pc users. How thoughtful :)
I'm going to release an album next year called , and tell all the people that opt+shift+k is the proper way to type it, ignoring the fact that Windoze/Linux can't even type that chacacter (as far as I've seen).
[That was supposed to show up as an apple symbol]
I wish that album could be better than it is. Meh.
