Periphery's singer Spencer Sotelo did a cover of Every Day Is Exactly The Same and released it yesterday https://soundcloud.com/those-loving-horses/every-day-is-exactly-the-same

it's not great but it's also not awful.
I like Periphery. Saw them with Deftones earlier this year and thought they were one of the better show openers I'd ever seen. Went home and got both of their albums, which are pretty good.

This cover's alright. Dude's voice makes it sound like he's hamming up the song a bit too much, and "purpose" doesn't sound like "porpoise" in this version :(

Plus it's a little by-the-numbers. Just sounds like he redid the original in the same style and everything. If he had done it in Periphery's style, now that probably would have been more interesting.

Trent posted these 2 pictures on Instagram and said Beats Music is launching in the US on Tuesday:



Doesn't look terribly different from other streaming music services, but I'll give it a shot.

That first picture shows what looks like a public playlist he made that people have subscribed to, so that's a pretty neat feature. That might set it above the rest, but I don't know if other services offer that sort of thing too since I only use a couple of them.

I'm already gonna be watching them for Daft Punk's performance with Stevie Wonder, so hell yeah, this is awesome. I loved Mantra so I'll be satisfied if they play that or something else.

Well, there's this new NIN remix EP: https://twitter.com/nineinchnails/status/425681999047561216

Which I can't get, because none of my mobile devices are compatible with the Beats Music app, which awesomely can only be installed on mobile devices, and not on computers at all.
Aw man, Beats is a pay service? :( I signed up for the 7 day free trial to test it out. Apparently I could get 3 months for free because I'm an AT&T member but then I'd automatically get charged $15/month for it after the 3 months is up, which is stupid. So I guess I'll only be using this thing for a week.

The remix album wasn't impressive at all. None of them improve on the originals at all. Hot Chip remix of Satellite just goes on and on for such a long time and feels like it never goes anywhere. Cold Cave remix of Running was...okay. Simian Mobile Disco remix of Copy Of A was boring as gently caress and bore no resemblance to the original song at all. The Autolux remix of Everything was loving hilariously bad at times but it was probably the most interesting one out of all of them too.

????? What did you expect it was going to be? All the music streaming apps cost money on mobile even spotify. Soundcloud is one of the only free ones but there really isn't a huge selection or back catalogue on there.

I'm so far enjoying the app, a little bit more than spotify as well. I might bite the bullet and subscribe after the trial ends.
Pandora doesn't. Jango doesn't. DI.fm doesn't. iTunes Radio doesn't. Those are the only ones I've used in recent years. Well, I tried Spotify a few years ago and didn't like it so I never used it again.

At least a couple of those are major streaming apps and they don't cost to use. They have premium options that cost money, yes, but you don't have to pay a monthly fee to use the basic features.

And SoundCloud isn't an internet radio app. It doesn't have the same feature set as some of those other services, unless it does now and I somehow missed it.

The thing about the free versions of those apps is just the radio. Which I guess is alright but paying for it is worth it imo to have full albums on the go.
Oh, I thought radio is what we were talking about :v:

If I want full albums on the go, I'll listen to my iPod. While it would be pretty cool to have lots of full albums available to stream on my iPhone, I don't think it's cool enough to pay every month for that when I have a solution for that already that works perfectly fine for me and doesn't cost me a monthly fee.

If you're obtaining new music every month/week/day/whatever, you're going to be paying money, unless you're just pirating it all. The difference is whether obtaining a small amount of music permanently or a large amount of music temporarily is the preferable option for $x/mo.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I'd rather just pay for music and have it on my iPod forever (or until I get tired of it and don't want it on there anymore) than have to pay for music and pay monthly to have it available to stream to my phone. Though if I was paying a monthly fee, I probably wouldn't be buying music anymore, and I like that too much to ever give it up and go the other way with it.

I suppose it would be a lot more appealing to me if, say, I was on the road all the time for work and had an AUX input jack in my car/truck and I didn't have the time to buy music and put it on my iPod. Then it would come in super handy. But for the situation I'm in now, I'd rather just hang onto my iPod.

And also had an unlimited data plan on your mobile device, which I think is a limiting factor which keeps a lot of people (like me!) tied to using MP3s or whatever on their phone/ipod instead of a streaming service.
I do have an unlimited plan and have for a few years, but it's not like I feel like I have to get the most out of it by signing up for a service like this and constantly streaming full albums to my phone. It is really nice never having to worry about hitting a data cap when I use the radio features of iTunes Radio, di.fm, Pandora, etc. though :shobon:

Ken Ehrlich, the executive producer of the Grammys, had this to say in response to hearing about Trent's tweet about getting cut off:

Ken Ehrlich posted:

I’m sorry he was upset. I was really thrilled that we were finally getting him on the Grammys. The final jam started with Arcade Fire a few years ago, and LL Cool J last year. I want to end on a high, an up note. I did tell them we’d take it as long as we could. The number was about five, six minutes long, and we got to within a minute twenty of the end. We got as close as we could possibly get.
Not really a proper apology though...

On the other hand, I really doubt trent was never told about the format of the final thing for the show.

To be clear, I think the cutting off business was obnoxious, but it's a show produced to run on television with particular and specific time requirements. I really doubt it was just a total surprise that they cut to commercial. And even if it was, he still got a fat rear end check, which is why he was there anyway, so...
Yeah but he was already kind of betraying his beliefs by being there (as shown by his Twitter), so to get dicked over like that by the event probably hurt him twice as much.

Platypus Farm posted:

also - betraying his beliefs? Really? No one forced him to show up. He was doing it because he wanted to do it.
True, but his gut instinct was "gently caress the Grammys", which he posted on Twitter a few years ago and has said before in reference to his Happiness in Slavery Grammy. I'm sure he signed up for it because it was a chance to play with some of his best buds on a huge stage in front of tons of people, not because of the check, and of course he's bummed out because the tons of people he wanted to play in front of only got to see an abridged version of what he was doing. He's not exactly hurting for money. I'm sure the pay was a nice bonus for him but I reeeeeally doubt that's why he took the gig. He still got paid so it's not like he was bitching about doing it for free or anything.

There's no transition into "I am little pieces little pieces little pieces" in this version either so I guess they really played it that way, it wasn't just edited that way for time.

And then there's $100 tickets but I don't know if those are sold out or what because when I added them to my basket to try and see where they were located, I got this message:
