Ticketblaster
Ticketmaster has been hard at work using their monopoly on ticket sales and events to further screw over their customers. They have been investing millions in software and secret programs to help scalpers get mass quantities of tickets to resell at much higher prices to customers. That way Ticketmaster gets a fee on the initial sale to the scalper and an even bigger one when they sell it to the customer. The best part is they are denying it and will probably pay a paltry fine in the class action suit they are facing and find new ways to rip people off. This benevolent giant of a company is also developing technology to scan your face to use as a ticket for a game or concert, what could possibly go wrong?
Album of The Week
Cloud Nothings -Here and Nowhere Else (2014)
The Cleveland band’s album has a much more positive spirit to it than their prior work. “I was feeling pretty good about everything so I just made stuff that made me happy,” said songwriter Dylan Baldi That probably has something to do with the fact that it was written entirely outside of Cleveland. Each track was written in a different country on their 18 month long tour for their prior album. This enabled them to get right back into the studio once they returned to the US.
“You’re not the same as me but I know we share a thing
No use remembering how it used to be so real”
“It’s over now, there’s a way I was before
But I can’t recall how I was those days anymore
I’m learning how to be here and nowhere else
How to focus on what I can do myself”
Best New Song: Guiding Light
“Relate to my youth
Well I’m still in awe of you”
Kathrin With a K
“Kathrin please
Don’t leave me
Oh I got nothing to do
But be with you”
Seventeen
“You know she’s somebody’s daughter
When she gets old it’ll haunt her
I’m here tonight, I have got her”
Strangers Kiss
“Don’t bother flying when we jump off the cliff
Make sure it’s head first if you don’t want to deal with what ifs”
