Musically Inclined

These days, I have excuses for not blogging. Between eMusic, spotify and my quickly growing iTunes, what is a boy to do? Even before this little New Yorker observation, it seemed the writing was on the wall. Music is changing!

Spotify seems too good to be true and I fully trust someone is trying to kill it. This, combined with the relatively cheap downloads on eMusic, makes me a distracted boy. What shall happen when our phones stream? I think iTunes might be dead soon. You heard it from me.

As for the New Yorker's idea that live shows will start being more expensive, allowing one to get new stuff with a concert ticket, this makes sense to me. I would pay a lot to see Nuru Kane again after last Saturday's show at Passing Clouds. Best £6 I have spent in ages and made me very happy.

Tomorrow is Oumou Sangare! Happy, happy spring.

I can't get spotify! It tells me this.

"Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions we are not yet available in your country."

When will we get socialist music?

I thought all good things started in your country. Yet another cool thing coming out of Sweden. I might move there soon. They seem to be going up all the time in my estimation of coolness.
