Umm. Isn't that what that phrase means?
I find this aspect of the digital age depressing. When we were analog and copying our music onto cassette tapes, we had control of the process. A song too long can be shortened with the simple press of the button or a fade to silence. Fade ins and cross fades were done easily. The addition of snippets of other audio materials was easy as well.
Yet, with digital music all that is gone or at least suppressed in a process that takes some time to set up, understand, and learn. We are stuck with hard boundaries in our music -- a track.
In other songs I've purchased, there are extraneous bits that I would not like to hear. This is prevalent with rap music and the skits between songs. Somehow the music distributors mash one track with the skits. This sucks as I just want the music, and I am forced to hit next to avoid listening to the crappy skit. I don't need no crappy skits. If I had wanted it, I would've kept the cassette running.
Anyone hate this too?
Labels: no shit
The movie did not feature Harry Connick, Jr., but the album has him in spades. Songs sung by classic crooners of the past are sung by Connick on the official soundtrack album. "It Had to be You" sung by Frank Sinatra in the movie sung by Connick. A favorite Gershwin standard, "Our Love Is Here to Stay," sung by Louis Armstrong is sung by Connick. "Winter Wonderland" is Connick on the soundtrack but Ray Charles in the movie.
It was a bad bait and switch.
What would've been a sweet album with the classic singers becomes lessened with Harry Connick, Jr. as the vocalist to many of the more memorable tunes from the movie. The album reminds you that Harry Connick, Jr. has a long way to go to become a favorite.
Now look at it here. I kept telling myself to buy APPL but never did. Who knew you could become a millionaire betting on APPL? It still keeps going up and up!
Today's link is blocked at work. I hope this is correct.
"Tough." (Steve Jobs isn't gonna let you have it.)
"Get off my lawn!" (There are plenty of other platforms that do. Use them.)
