In a long interview headlined "How JIMMY IOVINE Plans to Take APPLE MUSIC to New Heights," we don't learn all that much about Jimmy Iovine's plans for Apple Music, a company where he has no formal title ("he’s known simply as 'Jimmy'"). We learn some other stuff, though. He believes there will always be room for multiple subscription services, which won't be separated by their nearly identical music catalogs but by their personality, feel and how each is "culturally different." He talks a lot because DR. DRE doesn't (or maybe vice versa). He believes tech companies buying up entertainment companies won't do anyone any good unless "someone at these companies [can] speak both languages." And he thinks BILLBOARD's charts should weigh paid streams more than free streams, which he obviously has a vested interest in, and which might not be a terrible idea, though I'm not sure the charts need to be more opaque than they already are... Elsewhere in the disruptive/disrupted music programming universe, PITCHFORK reports on the rapidly changing world of college radio, which is simultaneously losing traditional FM licenses (many have been sold to NPR affiliates for a quick cash infusion) while proving an effective early adopter of low-power FM licenses.

HYPE MACHINE founder ANTHONY VOLODKIN, still cultivating his community of fans and bloggers 12 years and several internet generations after launching the site as a teenager, tells TECHNICAL.LY he offers a distinct alternative to streaming music services.

People in NEW YORK listen to sadder music when it snows than when it rains (and other music/weather statistics courtesy SPOTIFY)... This lawsuit goes to 11... Dear MIGOS: You are one of the reasons music is good right now, but your apology game is lacking. "We apologize if we offended anyone" is not the way to play it after you said those strange things (that's the nicest way to put it) about ILOVEMAKONNEN's sexuality here. Delete that "if." If you are truly sorry, just be sorry... ELTON JOHN, TALIB KWELI and GEORGE CLINTON are among the curators of a new vinyl subscription service... RIP HENRY-LOUIS DE LA GRANGE.
