Support Rocknerd: Buy our stuff! All the fits that's news. Classical links: In which classical is hampered by iTunes. 29 July, 2015. 9 August, 2016. ITunes and streaming in general. Not one. Cases The problem is that (a) ID3 is crappy (b) particularly for classical (c) and particularly with streaming. While that’s busy sucking for you, check these classical album covers. Holy shit these are brilliant. In the meantime, what do you do if your computer is unexpectedly playing “Für Elise”? On SingularDTV: a ...

Support Rocknerd: Buy our stuff! All the fits that's news. 25 July, 2015. 9 August, 2016. Early 1990s grunge, reproduced with 100% authenticity. Really, I felt like I was a 26-year-old student/bum again, smoking Lucky Strikes on a front porch in Perth, wondering if I too would ever find some way to hit it big with Generation X. The album’s released properly in September. Here’s the first single, “Shirts”. The silver age of music: the Midas plague. How do you keep up? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. On Review...

Of course the new distribution channels are going to act like the old distribution channels. Apple wants to relaunch Beats as a new and exciting service that involves paying them money, so they’re pressuring labels to kill Spotify and Pandora’s free tiers, and pressuring Universal to pull all videos from YouTube.
