Morning Music Notes – Invisible Clouds
Apple’s latest invention, the iCloud, is set to be announced today. The iCloud will be a giant, invisible (like a cloud….) online service, streaming the songs that are on your iPod. No word on how this works for all of the bootlegs and unreleased songs you have on your iPod. Price structure and other details are to be included in today’s announcement, or else Steve Jobs is a liar.
Adele has cancelled the rest of her US tour. The reason stated is “vocal problems”, but I think she is swimming around in a pool of money, ala Scrooge McDuck.
Eminem, who now shills cars for Chrysler, has sued Audi for using a sample of Lose Yourself in their latest commercial. Audi has responded to the lawsuit from Eminem, stating that the video is not a commercial per se, but more of a video intended to be talked about in the media in order to sell more vehicles.
I enjoy any video that has a warning stating that the following scenes are art and not to be taken seriously. I doubt that the warning will calm the type of people who like to complain, but I appreciate the effort. Without further adieu – Kanye West’s new video for his crushing song, Monster.
As I was deleting songs off of my iPod last night to make room for some recent additions, I noticed the number of albums that I have listened to once and hated, or just never gotten a chance to listen to and likely never will. Turns out that I am not the only one – 81% of music collections never get listened to. Although I find that number extremely high, it should be noted that most of my music collection consists of Kenny G albums that are absolute rubbish.
