This might turn out to be very annoying, if true. Depends on how easily existing catalogues can be moved over, I suppose. But I have tens of thousands of songs on iTunes. If my library becomes obsolete, or even is a hassle to transition, I will be less than thrilled. At least for the time being, I'll exhale... pitchfork.com/thepitch/what-apples-itunes-shutdown-means-for-music-fans/

Any Genesis fans out there? This is a touching video. I didn't realize Phil Collins' back was in such a bad state that he was performing in a chair. This damn back thing...

I remember seeing some videos from a DC show last fall where Phil was in a chair the whole show. He can also sadly no longer play the drums.

I just wanted to post this sad news because I'm a big fan of Steve & Eydie. I don't know if anybody else out there is familiar with their catalogue. They were popular in the late 1950's/early 1960's. Both Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme' were great and popular performers on their own, too. They appeared on TV many times on several variety shows. Their Christmas album, That Holiday Feeling, is a personal favorite; I was fortunate to get an autographed copy shortly before Eydie passed away. Steve appears to be handling his diagnosis as well as can be expected.
Their biggest hit was "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big", written by Steve Allen:

The Springsteen album, Western Stars, is out today. I had it pre-ordered and so am listening now. It's really an enjoyable album. The production is a lot like was found on those first singles, which is to say sweeping, grandiose. Strings are prominent. Very 70s countrypolitan or ... I don't know what the word is, but how about expensive-to-make pop!? The sort of thing you'd get at some Harry Nilsson sessions, or with Glen Campbell.
Edit - whoops, I meant to post this in the new music thread, not the music news thread. I'll paste it there as well. This post can simply be used to mock me for my blunder.

It's funny to me how naysayers will continually say that legacy acts are no longer relevant in today's landscape, but low and behold, artists like Springsteen, Van Halen, The Beach Boys, Iron Maiden, McCartney, etc have seen new released go to the top of the charts.
