I never thought I would say this, but Spotify is worth every penny they have an intro offer of $0.99 for three months. Apple Music will be free for three months unlimited, I highly recommend it.
I'll have to mess around with it more. You're probably right. I think Swift will eventually buckle to Apple.
Funny thing is, my "Taylor Swift Radio" station is one of my favorites on Pandora.
It worked out like this; I have some 70+ stations on Pandora but my wife really likes Taylor Swift so whenever we're driving together it is always on this station. So I would dislike certain songs, like other songs, play my own stations when I was by myself and strangely enough, Pandora's logarithms figured out a really cool playlist.
So my "Taylor Swift Radio" is different than anyone else's. I'll hear a Swift song followed by an Edward Sharpe song, Modest Mouse, West Indian Girl, Dandy Warhols, Mumford & Sons, MGMT, Foster the People, and then Swift again. And then five other songs by bands that don't sound anything like Taylor Swift, yet they're bands I like.
And this is where Pandora really works great!
If Spotify can do this, I'll be impressed.
And while we're talking about Taylor Swift, I happen to think 1989 is a phenomenal album. If Red was Swift's Let It Bleed, 1989 is Swift's Exile on Main Street. If Red was Swift's Houses of the Holy, 1989 is Swift's Physical Graffiti . If Red Was Swift's Revolver (and it was. The title song is straight-up rock and roll) 1989 is Taylor Swift's Sgt. Pepper's.
This 46-year old hard rock listening, Les Paul into a Marshall playing dude happens to sincerely believe that Ms. Taylor Swift's 1989 is a towering musical achievement, the entire album. Seriously. It is that good.
(except for the remixes with rappers).
