Neil Young Says His Music Is Too Good For Streaming Services
An anonymous reader writes: After years of complaining about modern music formats Neil Young today announced that he's pulling his music from all streaming services. He made the announcement on his official Facebook page saying: "Streaming has ended for me. I hope this is ok for my fans. It's not because of the money, although my share (like all the other artists) was dramatically reduced by bad deals made without my consent. It's about sound quality. I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution. I don't feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. It's bad for my music. For me, It's about making and distributing music people can really hear and feel. I stand for that. When the quality is back, I'll give it another look. Never say never."
Listening to a 85 year old fart who's musical abilities peaked 30 years ago is also not the same thing live or streamed.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.

110% Grade-A _bullshit_. Try to fucking tell me that "Harvest", "After the Gold Rush", "Rust Never Sleeps"are not only _legendary_ albums in the history of rock, but that they aren't examples of masterfully recorded acoustic performances that absofucking-lutely benefit from a proper mastering. Jesus Christ, the man's early catalog is a _textbook_ example of how terrible mastering was in the early days of CD, and as he was one of the early proponets of DVD-Audio, it's pretty goddamned easy to listen to a 1982 copy of Harvest vs. the DVD Audio as well as the Neil Young Archives reissues from 2011, tell me that "sound fidelity is NOT especially noticeable". Seriously, how the fuck you get moderated insightful for posting such a fucking steaming fucking pile of fucking ignorant horseshit is beyond me. Tell you what, you can go back to your stupid fucking hole now where you feel superior to all those other "sheep" who just don't get why MP3 is the best thing ever and how it's stupid to use more rather than less bits to reproduce analog sound.
