2015 was a good year. Lots of good new music came about. Pop Evil had a new album, Up; 10 Years had a new album, From Birth to Burial. I love them both, groups and all their albums.

PlayStation announced PlayStation Music, basically Spotify on PS3 and PS4. So I bit, checked Spotify out, found that I could still sign up with Sprint for a nice long free Premium trial, and convert to a long time lower price.

On Spotify I found the full Starset debut album, Transmissions, in January, was in love with it immediately. It was really cool to see them at Carolina Rebellion in May.

Later in the year I heard a Red Sun Rising song on Octane. I then found out they were going to be touring with Pop Evil. I found out Pop Evil would be at The Tabernacle in Atlanta [my favorite venue to hear/see any group.] But not with Red Sun Rising. I found RSR’s album, Polyester Zeal, on Spotify, loved it at first, and even more upon further listens. I saw them and Pop Evil on Yahoo Music, they live streamed their Grand Rapids concert.

So recently then I found out Starset will be at Tabernacle in 2016. Oh, boy, I sure hope I can see them then!

Spotify turned around for me, I mean, I left them. Google Play Music made a change for the better, Family Plan. Holy Moly it’s better, so much Spotify music disappeared on me, it’s all there in Google Play Music. Plus Google Play knows my tastes, I have put my own music up and listened to it for quite a few years now. It’s a good fit, I can stream as much as I want of anything, and so can my family, on their own accounts. I also Scrobble everything I can, so PS4 or PS3 music really didn’t matter to me afterall.

The BIGGEST news, though, came when The Cure announced a nice big tour in 2016. Finally, I am going to see The Cure! My internal joy is immense.

I LOVE THE CURE!
