Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

I don't think I've ever heard a single song of hers.

You probably don't know which ones are hers, but that's like saying you've never heard a Michael Jackson or Beatles song. They're everywhere and you'd have to avoid music in public altogether to avoid it, she has songs everywhere.

I am nowhere though. I don’t go to stores, I don’t drive a car or listen to radio. I don’t watch TV. I suppose a song might have snuck into a film or so, but I don’t recall when I last watched a film.

I have a hard time being in public, and if I’m solo I’ll generally wear my noise cancelling headphones, otherwise I get all jittery.

Though I admit that it’s not impossible for me to have heard a song by her. I know a little about her, like how she worked really hard to buy back the rights to her songs. I think she works independently now too?

Couldn’t name a song by her though.

You’ve never heard the song “Shake it off” from your fortress of solitude cave on mars?

Doesn’t ring a bell. Signal is weak here.

Though! I thought of two songs I’ve heard a little from that I think are by her. One is that stalkerish sounding one with ripped jeans. The other is one where she sings that she’s problematic.

One is a bit older, but the other is fairly recent. My friend showed me the song because I was confused why “I’m the problem” suddenly became such a common meme.
