What Are They Saying?
I’ve always found misinterpreted song lyrics to be quite amusing. A person can hear a song countless times and get the lyrics wrong. It’s even more humorous when they sing along. That is until one day they stumble across the actual lyrics. Yet, before that happens, one could swear that was what they were saying.

The Return of the Thin White Mac: A Vigorous Defense of the Harddrive Full of Music
How are the format wars going this week? Well, streaming is down because of the whole Neil Young/Joni Mitchell thing, but it’s still massively dominant. The vinyl resurgence is hitting global supply chain hiccups. CDs are up, though it’s a testament to their decline that their rise may be down to one artist who old people can’t get enough of. And cassettes may be back, but it’s equally likely that some bored hipsters just convinced some naive journalists of a nonexistent trend. Join us next week when someone will be reporting that hampsterdance.com, and those cylinders that make mooing noises when you turn them upside down are the new preferred music formats.

Why Fifth Harmony Fell Apart
Fifth Harmony was an American girl group on the rise; comprised of members Ally Brooke, Normani, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui and formerly Camilla Cabello. The girls became breakout stars on the second season of the reality television singing competition, “The X Factor”. With well performing songs such as “Worth It” and “Sledgehammer”, Fifth Harmony seemed to be gaining traction all across the world. However, following Camilla’s departure, the disappointment of the third album and an indefinite hiatus, the future of Fifth Harmony seems unsure. Surely Camilla Cabello wasn’t the thread that kept the fabric of the group intact?
