The Fray Is… Back?
The Fray Is Back - EP
I have mixed feelings about The Fray continuing without Issac Slade. It wasn’t just his iconic voice either, the piano that he brought to so many songs was one of the reasons I loved the band so much.
I will admit that their last album wasn’t my favorite, but the first three albums and the EPs before that are still some of my favorite music of all time. I am constantly listening to those albums on repeat.
This new EP isn’t bad, and I have always liked Joe Kings voice and always thought he would be great going solo and did try for bit going as just King but as The Fray without Slade and only King’s voice just doesn’t feel the same.
I have listened to it a few times already and I will say that my first impression is that it is a good album, but it just doesn’t feel like The Fray to me.
This Beef Is Getting Real
euphoria by Kendrick Lamar and Push Ups by Drake
Both songs are great in my opinion. They both don’t shy away from each rappers style which I appreciate and enjoy regardless of the beef.
But the beef makes it that much more interesting. Now that Kendrick has responded I am curious to see how this whole thing plays out. I have feeling it is going to get pretty brutal going forward.
Good Times
Delta Emulator
Good times on iOS with Apple now allowing emulators on the App Store. Check Delta on the App Store now available.
Makes me wonder if I still need my RG35XX. 🤔
We Still Don’t Trust You

Things are ramping up in the rap war that Future and Kendrick started in Metro and Future’s first album together. Leaked audio of Drakes rebuttal, J. Cole’s response (then apology), and now Rick Ross’ drop is causing a rumble in hip hop right now.
It’s exciting but also interesting to see where all this goes. I think I like Metro and Futures 2nd album more than some, but the drama of it all I think is what is making all this more enticing. It is causing many to revisit all music by all these artist and scrutinize every line to see if their were and subliminal or sneaky disses that many have missed.
I’m excited to see where this all goes, but sad to also think another What A Time To Be Alive album may never happen.

Future & Metro Boomin’s new album is the first album I have bought in the iTunes Store in many years — at least 10 years or more. For a while I was buying CDs and burning music instead of buying it digital.
Since I wanted to listen to this album on my iPod Classic. The easiest options was to just pay $9.99 to get a digital copy and sync it to my iPod through the iTunes Store.
It was worth it. I don’t mind supporting artists directly too. Especially for this amazing album. It will definitely be on repeat for the rest of 2024.
Apple Crave
MacBook Air
It’s annoying how Apple products seem to always suck me back in. I wrote about how it’s a hard decision right now to choose a Mac with the Air and Pro being so good right now.
I think if I could have anything I wanted, it would be a desktop Mac and a MacBook. But my life right now doesn’t permit me to have a single workstation location. I need to be mobile.
I’m happy with my Asus Zenbook and I am also happy with my 2012 MacBook Air, but the desire for a Midnight MacBook Air or Liquid Retina XDR MacBook Pro is so strong.
It’s hard to resist the Apple cravings. But I want to buy the right thing next time, not just what I can get and regret it later.
