Don't the Americans call it "X", though?

Which also fits the clue too, as we all know "X" means "Unknown Variable", which is this case is "E"

They don't deliver letters any more, just Christmas cards and advertising rubbish.

Scarlet Stories - Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers[^]
A Dutch band this week.
I don't know much about them, except that I could've seen them live at a number of occasions and I didn't (because I didn't know (them) at the time) 
They're from Utrecht and just released their debut album.
It's this first single that got me into them.
The song is rather long (11 minutes), but because of the progressive character of the music it never gets boring.
So enjoy

 Nice one! It's the first time I've seen a female vocalist do progressive metal.

Just saw the new OneDrive icon appear in my start menu. Who the frick is designing (and approving) such dumb and ugly crapola? Back in Win3.1 days designers took GREAT PAINS to make the smallest possible block of pixels represent some physical abstraction that linked itself to the idea of what the program did. Even full-size, this doesn't look like 'storage' in any way, and I had to look at the full-sized version to recognize it was supposed to represent a 'cloud' (which it really doesn't).
I don't want my desktop to be rained on!!!
(Don't know why it took 5 months to reach my start menu, if it was really released April 26.)
Again,

I see a dark desert highway. Sort of. Or maybe a turban. Or a scaled down version of the NBC peacock.

After racking my brain, the only thing I can come up with is Mr. Creosote as a baby, in the only steel baby buggy design capable of supporting him, after being pushed under painters who dropped their blue cans after stating, "That's an ugly baby!"

It's a cloud.
And it's blue because you don't like it.

It's clearly an abstract cloud, because modern computing is all about abstract icons.
Anyway, it's rants like this that make Microsoft prioritize all these icon redesigns

So I can work for MS and get paid for whatever I want, because I've kinda abstractly performed the duties specified, no matter how little the end result represents the contract! Yoohoo!!! Didn't think of that before! Bring it on!
But no abstract payments accepted...

That's not at all what I said... I said abstract icons!
So yeah, you can design abstract icons and get paid a decent wage (not whatever you want, no one said that), which is probably still lower than that of a developer 
And maybe, just maybe, they have enough designers as it is
They're replaced pretty much every icon they ever had in the past few years.

Count your blessings it at least has some color to it. Clearly you've missed Windows 10's Settings screens. Now there's a bland, boring world...

Seems like it all started with iOS7. Boo to John Ive. I, for one, liked the skeumorphic icons.
