Rotten Apples
Apple has announced they plan to get rid of iTunes in a move to break off the once ubiquitous program into separate parts. There is no word yet on whether you will still be able to constantly be prompted to update the new service every time you turn on your computer or whether that feature will also be retired. It is yet another move toward no one actually owning their music anymore as you become more and more reliant on streaming music and making sure as little of that money as possible makes its way back to the artists.
Album of The Week
Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen (1982)
“Well now everything dies baby that’s a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back”
“I catch him when he’s straying, teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family he ain’t no friend of mine”
The only Springsteen album that didn’t have a follow up tour due to it’s more somber nature is still one of his best received works. Many of the stories told in the songs are based on true stories as Springsteen was inspired by Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States, which is a great place to start for inspiration. Tales of blue collar workers trying to make their way in America, and the challenges they face.
Best New Track: Love Yourself
“Love, can you love yourself?
Show me everything
Every reason to believe in yourself”
1980’s Horror Film
“She, was only seventeen
Oh, why are girls in songs always seventeen?”
Police Truck
“The left newspapers might whine a bit
But the guys at the station, they don’t give a shit”
If I Could Write
“Was this supposed to be some kind of perfect?
I want more
When I go this time I don’t think I’m coming back”
