iTunes Sales Are Down, and Now Apple Wants to Block Video Recording at Music Events
The Fall of Rome Went Better Than This If television killed the radio star, Apple wants us to believe that YouTube and filming live performances killed the iTunes star.

True Sadness is their twelfth album overall, not including promotional EPs or live albums. The album was produced by Rick Rubin on his American Recordings label. Despite Rubin's past success, I felt that The Avetts should have looked for another producer to give this album a new style of production. 'Ain't No Man' kicks off the album with a joyful rhythm. The soul and resurrected energy stems at the center of the song. The lyrics showcase a romantic
