If you can get all or most of what you want for free on YouTube, why pay for it on any platform at all? Personally I would laugh at the idea of paying for a streaming service. I'd rather listen to ads. kleinbl00 recently posted an article about "no more platinum albums" that this is a (veiled) retort to. i admit. i bought t-swift's "1989." - kb if it was someone else please, set me straight with a vengeance. I'll also categorically state that NPR is all about sucking t.swfit's...errr...sexual organs. Not that I mind; NPR is 75% of why I bought 1989. "Shake it off" is the other 25%.
For the record, it went platinum the day before yesterday. November 4. With 56 days left. Good on 'er, but the idea of the platinum album kinda died the year High School Musical Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was the best-selling album of the year.
