“I have a feeling that Adam’s passing is going to have an interesting effect on Gen Xers. I’ve been trying to think of another high-profile death of a musician from the 90s Alternative Nation who died of natural causes. No drug overdose, no alcohol poisoning, no suicide or other misadventure. Adam died of something as mundane and ordinary as cancer, a fate that could befall any of us at any time. Gen X might want to pretend that they’re just as young and vital and healthy as they were back in the 80s and 90s, but this is a reminder that we all grow older and frailer and more vulnerable. And now that Time has claimed one of their own—reality check, you know?”

“I wish Tumblr had gotten together with EX.FM to integrate their service into the search. Despite popular tech opinion, not all of us have or like Spotify. Personally, I prefer Rdio as a streaming service. Nevertheless, my Spotify post on Wednesday will be the last, and I will go back to doing uploads or searching directly from EX.FM and Soundcloud for tunes I wish to post on Tumblr.”
