3/4 of the original Pumpkins are reuniting for a tour this summer. They couldn't get D'arcy. Oh well. It's the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour.

I still have most of my CDs - we sold some of them on decluttr.com for pennies on the dollar in preparation for our move. Then the move happened sooner than planned and the rest came with us. I’m not sure what to do. I do enjoy having them. I play them when I work out - it’s nice listening to full albums without distraction. The kid is nudging me toward Spotify. I get it - easy to share (like ghost is doing in the cover tourney). But I have frickin’ 24K songs in my iTunes library. I guess the smart thing to do is not buy any more music and make the switch. Paying $10/month for Spotify vs $10/album just makes too much sense. Old habits die hard though - knowing me I’ll probably end up doing both. :?

Bought tickets tonight to see Bobby McFerrin at a jazz club in Minneapolis. He's playing a 4-night set. We grabbed tickets for the late show on Wed, so we got front row seats at a discount.

Stone Temple Pilots has a new album released today. I have heard about half of it and it is actually pretty good. They got a lead singer from one of those TV talent shows.



Meanwhile, earlier this week, Pearl Jam released a new song, Can't Deny Me. Predictably it is an anti-Trump song. It is just terrible. It may be the worst song that they've ever produced. It isn't the subject matter, but rather Vedder's vocals. I think they are finally completely shot.

I moved to google music a few years ago and I haven't looked back. It is a great way to find new music and a fun way listen to old stuff you vaguely remember. Since subscribing I've also started listening to classical and ambient music at work which I find to be very helpful.
