Turns out that I issued mynext - gen iPod prognosis piecea calendar week too early . Now that Apple ’s assuredly - iPod September 5th event has been announced and the residue of the world is busy toy the prevision plot , I ’m remain firm around with a smoke , yet empty , gun .
Damn these pestiferous psychical powers !
Since I seem to be work a good week into the future , I might as well quell the row and look beyond the event to September 6th . Because on that day , the details of new iPods will have been splashed across media way out great and small and the soft touch of the Fab Four ( that would be The Beatles for you young - timers out there ) will adorn the iTunes Store . ( What , you guess “ The Beat go On ” that appear on the invite to the 9/5 event means Apple ’s announcing theSonny & Cherremastered box set ? )
With that done , one important enquiry will remain : Now that The Beatles have finally come to iTunes , what hole out in The Store ’s inventory are left to grouse about ?
There are a few obvious omissions : Led Zeppelin , AC / DC , Garth Brooks ( okay , perchance not so obvious to me ) , George Harrison ( unless his catalogue gets throw away in as a bonus when The Beatles are added ) , Frank Zappa ( had him , now gone due to the Zappa Estate ) , other Metallica ( they resisted forever , in the end yield , but the work many devotee deal their best is still missing ) , early Kinks ( yes , I ’m date myself , but who else will ? ) , and King Crimson ( Fripp is likely selling this stuff himself ) . Fewer care , but I ’ll thrust in other Captain Beefheart , The Bonzo Dog Band , and Joe Jackson’sBeat Crazyas well .
But that ’s just me . sure enough some of you have pall to The Store in Hope of supersede a irritable record of vinyl , stretch tape , or clawed atomic number 48 with a reinvigorated digital copy of a favorite record album and been bilk by the iTunes ’ eq of“Huh!?”Now that we do n’t have John , Paul , George , and Ringo to kvetch around any longer , who , in your opinion , necessitate to make an appearance at The Store ?
