Adobe today announced that Flash, the once-ubiquitous plugin that allowed you to play your first Justin Bieber video on YouTube and Dolphin Olympics 2 on Kongregate, will be phased out by the end of 2020. At that point, Adobe will stop updating and distributing Flash. Until then, Adobe will still partner with the likes of Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft and Google to offer security updates for Flash in their browsers and support new versions of them, but beyond that, Adobe will not offer any new Flash features.

Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra sat down with Spotlight Report:
I think so much of that comes from like giving up control for the greater good and letting go of your ego and your pride. When I was younger, it wasn’t that I knew what I was doing [laughs] or knew that I was being a certain way – it was just all I knew.

Once I started to realise Cope was a big part of that, being in a room, working on these songs and realising other ideas were super valuable.

Off Island Ghost are a Milwaukee duo who just released their new EP Impossible Things. The four song EP is now available on Apple Music and Spotify and can be described as melodic alternative rock with an early 2000’s vibe.

The four song EP was produced, engineered, and mixed entirely by the band over the course of six months, and you can check out a lyric video for “Wildfire” on YouTube to get a feel for the band and EP.
