[NEW YORK] Streaming giant Spotify is extending its foray into audiobooks, dropping nine new public-domain classics narrated by celebrities including Hilary Swank and Forest Whitaker.
The audiobooks, which roll out through Spotify's dedicated audiobook library, will include Bunnicula and 2020, with I Am Number Four and Valerian on the way soon. Debuts are constantly being added, and they cover a range of genres including dance, comedy and children's books.
"Audible was an incredible partner to begin with for both their immensely popular audiobooks and tour books, and we're thrilled to extending their relationship through their own multimedia library," Chris Martin, music director at global brand, PR & digital for Spotify said in a statement.
"Fresh stories and funny voices are hard to come by these days, and I've enjoyed listening to them a bunch of times throughout this long journey with Umami Labs and our partners at Sufjan Stevens, Hilary Swank, and Jennifer Schwalb."
In addition to producing a stable of perennial chart providers like The Phantom Thread and The Girl Who Knew Infinity, most music titles from independents like Umami Labs have been released digitally. Among others, they include Bart Watson's Adrift (available on Spotify), Eddie Izzard's The Gamer, The Muppet Show watchers' favourite Skippy the Accused, and the seven-part Netflix series Stranger Things.
In Australia, Paramore is to tour the landscape for the first time in five years and plays four nights of dates at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne from September 19 - 26. A weekly podcast of the live performances is jointly produced alongside The Unarchived Suite, offered to listeners on major platforms.
I recently had a phone call from the editor of an unfamiliar publication. He asked if I would like to interview the man behind the picture of Australian toddler Tahari Wood, stolen from Google's Street View database in Tennessee and accidentally posted on the Australian House of Representatives Facebook page.
"Tahari Wood" was labeled a "photographer / illustrator / bizarrely beautiful child" and Tom Hastings described the outcome of this fluke of a crime as "exceptional journalism."
Writing in The Age of MSM, Hastings has referred to this incident as a "Cage Wars in Urdu."He praises "wildly creative."sites" he's seen….."
This man is probably as familiar to the journalist through our daily columns as to any normal citizen. I never cease to be awed by the pictures of Australian animals.
There are beautiful but unrelated photos juxtaposed at the bottom of our digital screens—
