Apple seems to have abandoned iTunes LP—it’s not even a hobby. There are currently less than 40 LPs in the store, after almost 6 months of being in existence. The iPad would have been the perfect candidate for displaying interactive ‘LP’ content, but Steve didn’t even mention it during the keynote.

Nothing new here, move on? But it’s worth repeating: After 25 years of buying music on physical media I have stopped and opted for a Spotify Premium subscription instead.
It’s the paperbacks, the generic CDs and DVDs that are the problem. Mass produced and soulless, the only reason they exist is to carry the content, with a side effect of a cover purely designed to sell.

Have you ever been to the mouth of the River Thames? The very end, where the river meets the North Sea and the shoreline bends from estuary to coast? Probably not, even though there’s a direct train from the City of London. And there’s an A Road - the A13 - which is the best way to get here if you’re Billy Bragg. But I bet you’ve never been. To Shoebury Ness.
