Que ben, que ben, que ben! Franz Ferdinand anuncian novo disco
“Another factor drawing away from the festival-ready cheer of their earlier material is the fact that, at 28, Koenig is no longer the post-collegiate wunderkind (though he still looks like he could slip into a lecture or two without drawing a second glance). Spectres of mortality float through the album, and on the wistful “Don’t Lie”, the singer asks: “I want to know— does it bother you?/ The low click of a ticking clock/ There’s a headstone right in front of you/ And everyone I know.” Still, there’s a conscious effort to keep the darkness in check. Like how they chose to call the adrenaline-pumping single “Diane Young” instead of “Dying Young”. “I had this feeling that the world doesn’t want a song called ‘Dying Young’,” says Koenig, “it just sounded so heavy and self-serious, whereas ‘Diane Young’ sounded like a nice person’s name.”

“If I purchase one app, and it doesn’t solve my problem, then I have no way to get the cost of that app back. If I try another, and the result is the same, then that’s two apps I’ve paid for that don’t do what I need. In fact, the price of the app that eventually does solve my problem is the cost of all of the apps I have to buy to find it. The result is that I’m willing to pay less for each individual app.”

“When it comes to discovering and managing your music, there is simply no comparison: Rdio is better. Whereas Rdio looks and works like a service that wants to help you build and discover a music library in the cloud, Spotify keeps on being a service focused on playlist creation and search. Look for a song, tap on it, and listen. Perhaps check out some related artists and star songs. Having tried both for several months (I was a Spotify user for years, and recently renewed my subscription when I heard the iPad app was coming), I can see how Rdio has convinced many music aficionados’ to switch thanks to its rich and constantly updated discovery options and social features. On the flip side, Spotify is looking more and more like an on-demand radio, with non-existent library management functionalities and poorly explained “what’s new” and “recommended” sections.”
