…in the face of the World watching what does and doesn’t get approved by apple for the app store, I’d be authorising the Spotify iPhone app. But further to this, I’d actively be competing with the entire Spotify model, both on client and phone.

I’d take the opportunity at – what will be – the impending press conference to announce all kinds of ‘cool new things’ and then one hell of a ‘one more thing’… Surely apple should be doing deals to make a monthly music and/or video pass a reality? After all, why would you pay Spotify £10 a month to stream unlimited music, if you could pay a figure that floats near that point to download and keep whatever you wanted..?

It’s one of those things that’s long been rumoured… c’mon Steve, give it to us! Shake up the industry again!

I thought it was strange we were awaiting an ‘announcement’ about ticket refunds.. after all.. most will be processed automatically by a computer.. no…

Then a press release came, embargoed until 5am this morning.

Chief executive Randy Phillips said: “The world lost a kind soul who just happened to be the greatest entertainer the world has ever known.

“Since he loved his fans in life, it is incumbent upon us to treat them with the same reverence and respect after his death.”

RIGHT. If you really treated them with respect, you’d offer to send the tickets out for free or a small service charge.

The only question I ask myself is do I really want to pay £85 for a piece of paper?

New blog. New site. New CMS. Crikey! Well, I’ll get round to changing the theme and sorting out content and such.

Catching up on Glastonbury highlights for the day and am slightly tickled by having the ability to watch back Spinal Tap on the BBC iplayer with the volume at 11. The geek in me likes this very much.
