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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>On Spotify I\u00a0found 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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>So recently then I found out Starset will be at Tabernacle in 2016. Oh, boy, I sure hope I can see them then!<\/p>\n<p>Spotify turned around for me, I mean, I left them. Google Play Music made a change for the better, Family Plan. Holy Moly it&#8217;s better, so much Spotify music disappeared on me, it&#8217;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&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/user\/CrazyMaisy\" target=\"_blank\">Scrobble<\/a> everything I can, so PS4 or PS3 music really didn&#8217;t matter to me afterall.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>I LOVE THE CURE!<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2376\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2376\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/?attachment_id=2376\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2376\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2376\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/2015\/12\/31\/2015-music-overview\/screenshot-1-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?fit=1766%2C1026&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1766,1026\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"My The Cure Library\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;My The Cure Library&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;My The Cure Library&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?fit=1024%2C595&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2376\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1-500x290.png?resize=500%2C290\" alt=\"My The Cure Library\" width=\"500\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=500%2C290&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=768%2C446&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=1024%2C595&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?resize=1200%2C697&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screenshot-1.png?w=1766&amp;ssl=1 1766w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My The Cure Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 was a good year.
