Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

"Promises of fame, promises of fortune
LA to New York- San Francisco back to Boston"
- Belle and Sebastian, "Seymour Stein"

An interesting article my dad found online:

Further proof of how innovative Zappa really was. He was a bit ahead of his time - I don't think that something like this would have worked at the time he was proposing it, as it would be very large-scale and I'm not sure the technology was fully developed at the time - but can you imagine? We'd all be listening (and viewing, if the TV cable idea went through too) to music in a totally different way.

Actually, this kind of sounds like Netflix for music.
Wow.
