Thank you.

Does it use up your phone data?

Nobody has Alt-J on their list?

Any app will if you're not on wifi.

Who the hell worries about data still?  I'm on unlimited, yo!

True, but with Spotify (at least) you can temporarily download any album or playlist so that you can listen without using data when you're off wifi.

In Canada, an unlimited data plan will run you around $75/month. People in a lot of countries definitely still worry about data!

Indeed.  Maybe you can clarify as I'm not sure, but I think this option may only be for Premium subscribers?  I've only ever used Spotify when Premium is 99 cents for 3 months.

It can, but I know with Apple Music, you can download heaps of songs onto your phone for use when out of WIFI  use. I think it's like 2000 songs at a time that can be stored. I'm pretty sure Spotify is similar

It's great to know you can temporarily download. I think some mobile phone plans here include free streaming when using data. I'll ask my provider.

Can someone please break the code for me on Billie Eilish. She was a good guest on Howard Stern. But I have tried to get into her music and I just don’t see the hype. She always seems to be singing without putting in any effort. Like she never belts anything out. It’s more like a mumble whisper type singing. It’s sorta catchy but nothing like a Taylor Swift song. I just don’t get it but I wish her nothing but success. 

To me she is the evolution of Radiohead and a regular pop artist.  Which is fitting because apparently Thom Yorke is a huge fan.  It shouldn't work but it does.  On top of that you’ve got these big sounds in the background but a lot of it was recorded in her parents house.  Crazy.

I have Apple Music and I have 44.66 GB of music downloaded on my phone. I love Apple Music. I use it at work everyday and it really gets me through the day. Plus if someone recommends something I can download it and check it out. The stuff I really like I buy on vinyl. I don’t have one thing in my house or car that would play a cd. Apple Music just is a bill that we pay month to month without debating over. 15 bucks a month for my family and I to have unlimited music is well worth it.

I don’t hear anything close to Radiohead in her music. I think it’s her whisper singing on every song that just doesn’t click for me. I like the roller coaster that a singer can take you on with their vocals. Her singing is like a monotone teacher giving a lecture on the greenness of lettuce. The music is catchy and I like her attitude. Like I said, I’ve tried but it doesn’t catch my ear. Maybe I just need to get super baked and listen with green ears.

Well it may never click but at least you’re giving her a fair shake.  

Music needed her.  Im glad theres an 18 yr old massively popular singer who blends all these genres and doesn't dress like a slut.  The creativity is nice to follow. Gives me hope for the future of music lol.

I agree 100% with what you said right here.

What does how she dresses have to do with anything?

pearljammr78

I think they mean that it’s nice to see her get fame on the merits of her art not the size of her chest and butt. Sex sells a lot of shitty music. If I’m speaking out of place, I apologize sincerely.

@cp3iverson check out her entire interview on the Howard Stern show. Fantastic interview with her and her brother. And then later on with her parents. 

Tim Simmons

I just think all the other points are stronger (and correct).

Didn't Dave Grohl compare her to Kurt Cobain?

I think she's actually 16 years old.
