Omegle.com is a site which connects you to a random stranger so you can chat with them anonymously. Of course, this is where all hipsters go to get their latest news on Bill Callahan. This reviewer, unable to get a hold of his new album, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, came to Omegle to get some help.
