Genius Bar

Such a great track. Perfect blend of the essence of Justice and Tame Impala’s music.

0-60 mph in 1.38s is insane.

A sort of sequel to my post from 9 months ago.

Yep. Connect using Bluetooth or via a USB dongle/dock.

Fred Again has become one of my favorite artists in a very short span of time. Love the trance-y tune and Romy’s vocals go so well with it.

His new album drops tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

She was great. She’s able to hit those vocal ranges that Chester was able to. Kinda sounds like him too in certain songs.

Looking forward to this new era of LP.

Been a fan of Ba-da-Ba. So damn catchy.

Yep.

Rediscovered Crazy Taxi after so many years. Ahhh the chaos.

The soundtrack for the game is so distinct.

The moment they fix the search, fix their recommendations, stop wasting money on junk projects like games and allow me to completely disable Shorts, I will resubscribe to YT Premium.

Slightly off topic, but starting 2025 they’re going to stop providing quarterly subscriber numbers to focus on “other metrics” related to revenue and growth.

Indeed, but you miss out on the etched glass if you’re into that.

Apparently it still works. Came across a Short talking about it.

It’s 50% off right now.

The simple reason is because I got a lengthy free trial for it (saving me money on the Tidal sub) and then stuck around.

Apple Music was hot garbage when I started using it but over the months of my trial it improved tremendously - to a point where there isn’t much difference between it and Tidal. App performance is good now, it provides song recommendations for your playlists, many bugs I was facing have been fixed.

The Android Auto experience is better for me compared to Tidal, it has Shazam integration (Spotify does too, Tidal doesn’t) and it has many of the Japanese city pop songs I like that Tidal was missing.

I can always jump ship if needed. Services like Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic make it pretty easy.

Interesting. I wasn’t aware that they weren’t profitable.

Funny enough, right after your comment I got recommended this video on YouTube talking about the points you mentioned: https://youtu.be/yDWgOwb8kj4

I don’t mind paying $10/mo for access to millions of songs on demand, even if the caveat is that I don’t own anything at the end of my subscription.

I understand costs have gone up, so I can accept a $1 increase in subscription. The problem is that Spotify wants to do a bunch of side projects at my expense. I have no interest in podcasts or audiobooks yet I must fork up the extra money to fund it. I have no say in what my money is being used for and I hate that.

It’s why I moved from it to Tidal and then to Apple Music (even though I’m on Android). Both have their own issues but at least they’re focused on music.

Bop!
