Amazon’s Rufus, which must be some kind of AI chatbot, wonders if I’ve got the following questions about Stereolab’s upcoming album Instant Holograms On Metal Film:

  • Does it leave any residue after removal?
  • Is it easy to apply without bubbles?

The future is cleaning your tub with space-age bachelor pad records.
