Services like Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. are used by millions of people around the world. How is that use affecting the artists and labels that they represent as well as us as consumers? That idea is what’s being discussed in the following article. Universal Music Group is aiming to become the first major label to forbid artists from making deals to provide exclusives to Apple Music and Tidal. This idea came about when Frank Ocean dropped his long awaited albums exclusively on Apple Music. According to the article, many believe that exclusive distribution deals ultimately harm the consumer and the artist.

Silence Is Golden

Every once in a while, we all need a break from life to just relax. Today was that day for me. With my last week of the summer semester slowly coming to an end, it was time to take a breather before diving head on into finals week.

This morning, my sister and I headed to the mall to take a walk around, see what's new and clear our minds for all of the cramming to come. Of course, I couldn't go to the mall without passing by my favorite place, the movie theater. I had to take a quick look and see if any new posters were added since I had been there last. They haven't been yet, but I'm sure they will be by the end of the week since Suicide Squad is coming out.

While I was there, I tried out a new app that allows you to take 360-degree photos of anything that you want. I did jus that, check out the photos I took below!
