The latest diversion by the Daily Fail in England is of no interest. The way lazy and shallow journalist and commentators have pounced on the story is, however, very revealing.
In short, the would-be dictators at the Daily Fail have decided to attack and besmirch musicians and creatives like Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Madonna, Rihanna and anyone else they can think of for their modern witch hunt.
In an unforgivable way the newspaper and its columnists write in sweeping terms, like: "female singers seem to think that the only way to sell their albums is to flash their gussets". The Victorian terminology is no mistake as the Fail likes to pretend it honors "traditional values" while it exaggerates whatever its current hang-up may be.
Creating and playing music is a creative process, but the important part is it is undertaken by creative people. Creative people, all through history, provide glimpses into beauty, endeavor, passion, joy, despair, love and all manner of follies.
One very important function of art is the holding of a mirror to society, whenever and wherever that society may be. The Daily Fail, as usual, wants to shoot the messenger.
As you can see from the photo right, the Victorians never thought of clothing and deportment as anything other than "proper". LOL
wish there was one blog to aggregate them all :: properly :: like feedburner but with, for example, 5 recent snippets from 6 different blogs

Spotify figures suggest failure

Looking at the figures in more detail, 370 tracks breaks down to:
- average usage is just 2 tracks per day (yes, TWO only)
- average usage is significant as Spotify claims no “honeymoon” drop-off
As to the music choices, Lady GaGa dominated the Spotify charts along with Now That’s What I Call Music compilations and the Clubland CDs. Which suggests Spotify is the new, online version of Woolworths - a music service for people who don’t follow music for quality or depth.
No problem with people enjoying good pop music, but professional services like iTunes and Last.FM will continue to dominate for serious music lovers.

Can anyone suggest a way to preview a number of blogs - like in the sidebar - but with 4 or 5 snippets from each blog?
