Locked Out
Read more . . . →You used to just have a key. Soaked through, standing on his own front porch, staring at a door that used to let him in. Where the doorknob should be there’s a massive blue SUBSCRIBE button. The porch light is on. His stuff is in there. His couch, his bed, his dry clothes. All behind a paywall that wasn’t there yesterday morning. The subscription model has eaten software, music, newspapers, fitness, and now, apparently, shelter.

15 Years of Mylo Xyloto: Still Sucks
Read more . . . →15 years ago today, Coldplay released Mylo Xyloto. It still sucks. The title sounds like what happens when you pass out on your keyboard, which is appropriate because that’s exactly what the music does to people. This was the record where Chris Martin decided stadium pop needed a Rihanna feature and a concept album about a dystopian love story. Nobody asked for either, and everyone got both.
