Apple Music Coming to Chocolate Bars

[knappeduivel]

Toilet Paper would be a better fit for most modern music, chocolate is too good for it

The good news is that plenty of great music is available. More than ever.

Love my Ritter Sport. I’m a milk chocolate OG …

 

[jlc1978]

Starbucks did a promo where every week was a song or app on a card you got free in store.

 

[tonmischa]

"German big brand chocolate" is a questionable concept to start with. It is not possible to make good chocolate on the cheap.

i agree with your second sentence.
But please elaborate on your first sentence. What do you find questionable about "German big brand chocolate"?

 

[RedWeasel]

Should have celebrated Doro Pesch, legendary figure for women in heavy metal. A HUGE figure that’s still famous across Germany…definitely bizarre that there’s no mention of Kraftwerk for this promotion. I was fortunate enough to see them perform and it wasn’t a concert, it was an experience

I could imagine that even if Ralf Hütter was asked, he would have politely declined.

You’re snacking it wrong.

Apparently, German music history didn't start until 1990.

Scorpions - Crazy World : released in 1990
Cro - RAOP : released in 2012
Helene Fischer – Farbenspiel : released in 2013
Marteria – Zum Glück In Die Zukunft II : released in 2014
Sarah Connor – Muttersprache : released in 2015


Not one German industrial music artist/band such as Einstürzende Neubauten, KMFDM, Rammstein, or Die Krupps. 🙄

Yeah. Where's Alphaville?

 

[darngooddesign]

They might be in Japan.

Honestly surprised there’s nothing by Falco in there.

Their ad agency is creative.

Did that 5 kilo bar with whole apples ever make it to the stores?

I wonder how many Ritter Sport would fit in a Wax Trax box set? (The steel version.)
Also wondering, if I buy imported bars from World Market, will the codes work in the US store?

Only if you live in Chicago.

Only if you let it.
You can easily set up your own media server at home and stream the music you own to your phone.

Funny you mention streaming your own. I do that primarily because using Apple’s Music app via Siri/CarPlay was so freaking awful when I tried to play my own music tracks that I physically loaded on my phone. That is as plainly I can state that without a barrage of expletives that come to mind whenever I remember how angry it was making me while driving.

I was already running a Plex server at home, so I started using Plexamp in the car. I had to train Siri to use it as the default music app since Apple did not think to provide a setting for that, but the CatPlay experience is SO MUCH BETTER!

My reasons were manifold (can’t say without getting banned again) but I’m pleased with the result:
Better playlists, better sound quality, and no more money given to Tim Apple.

Man, im all in with Scorpions but Crazy World??? Not Lovedrive, Not Blackout, or Love at First Sting? I guess Wind of Change is a bigger deal to Germans with it symbolizing reunification and the fall of the wall, etc.

Plex, all day every day. Been running my own server since 2016. I am just now getting into checking out what other users have and sharing mine with others. I scroll around and if i see a user name or Avatar i like, i check out their watch list. Its amazing how often i find people similar to me, looking at just those two things.

How dare you!!!! He is actually Austrian.

 

[darngooddesign]

How dare you!!!! He is actually Austrian.

Well now I’m not surprised.

 

[FipsAlfredsson]

reminds me of iPod shuffle.

 

[Jeeve Stubbs]

Many people assume that German-speaking celebrities are German. There is, however, one famous counter-example: Mozart. Most people think he was Austrian, but actually he was German.
We have to admit something though: Mozart became famous thanks to Austria, and Falco did most of his sales in Germany.

That was in the 18th century.
Germany - as we know it today - did not exist yet. What we know as Germany today, consisted of a lot independent small states under the umbrella of the "Holy Roman Empire".

Mozart can be labelled "german" in terms of language, culture and ethnicity. But not in terms of nationality (at least not as we define it today)

Of course. Just like Vivaldi wasn't Italian de jure.
But my point is that Mozart was not Austrian.
