Coincidentally, my wife and I were driving this weekend and pulled up a "Top Hits of 1967" playlist. I am always amazed when I think about The Beatles not releasing any singles from Sgt. Peppers' and how the record executives must have been just a little nervous as that was "just not done" with albums then (and even now). They did have three singles released in 1967 including "All You Need is Love/Baby You're a Rich Man" in July soon after the May Sgt. Pepper's release, but still...kind of a banger move by the Fab Four

For a group of optically-dilated octogenarians, I agree.

Just saw him in Boston Monday - he's a busy guy
I was set to make a joke with one of his all-time hits, but it's just not working for me today.

Zippyshare Quits After 17 Years, 45m Visits Per Month Makes No Money * TorrentFreak
Citing ad-blocking and rising costs, file-hosting veteran Zippyshare will shut down at the end of the month after almost 17 years online.

For anyone who inhabited the music blog scene back in the day, Zippy was inescapable. Their popups and nsfw ads may have been annoying but speeds were pretty good and you couldn't beat the price...free.

Here’s proof that there’s just too much music being made. WAY too much. - National | Globalnews.ca
The internet was supposed to have democratized the distribution of music. But things have gone much too far. Something needs to be done to save music from itself.

Want to sample some of that 20 per cent of the music universe that’s never been heard by anyone? If you have a Spotify account, use it to sign into Forgotify and get a stream of unheard songs, tracks with ZERO streams. You may be there for a while.
I forgot about Forgotify.

“First, with so much choice out there, it’s tempting to default to listening to songs and artists you already know. Sorting through new music is just too overwhelming. Could this skew overall listening to older songs rather than new ones? Maybe.”
Obviously this guy never observed Unsom’s diverse choices here at MG.
