...n as it came out, or feeling compelled to own every Smashing Pumpkins album, even though it’s been years since I wanted to listen to them. By making it so difficult to manage my digital music library, iTunes has even closed me off to certain artists I’m confident I would have otherwise loved—for instance, Lil’ B, the ultraprolific rapper who has put out thousands of songs that aren’t available on any streaming service and can’t be bought from the iTunes store. slate.com

But how? Can’t you just download the mixtapes and play them? Isn’t that exactly what you did before iTunes? iTunes editing and replacing your music definitely is a problem, but it seems to be used in this article as a masquerade for newly found laziness imo.

Really, really lazy. Everything he is complaining about is easier than removing the wrapper from a new CD.

One thing that really strikes me about the song, compared to new pop songs today, is that it’s much more minimal. Why is that? You’re extremely observant! My grandfather used to say, “It is not the power of words that affects people. It’s the spaces in between.” I have this firm belief that if you’ve got the combination of music and melody, and the message combined, why flood it? You only need a maximum of three to four words to convey an emotion to someone, whether it’s “I love you” or “Will you marry me?” Anything after that is either a sonnet or a long-winded conversation.

Powerful. I’d like all my followers to see this.
