Have you heard of Art Basel? It’s an upscale fancy global art fair with annual shows in Basel, Switzerland, Miami, and Hong Kong. If you can’t make it to Miami Beach tonight for the next event, no worries. Veteran rockers Bon Jovi is rocking the house on Saturday evening, playing a private show for SiriusXM at the Faena Theater for just 200 invited guests and subscribers. It’s one of those events where the worlds of art and music mix together, and Bon Jovi is taking advantage of it.

The timing couldn’t be better for Jon Bon Jovi and company, who have just released their new album This House Is Not For Sale, a collection of 15 new songs. It’s the band’s first record without longtime guitarist Richie Sambora. According to Page Six, Jon Bon Jovi signed his band up to play at the event after he attended a Coldplay SiriusXM event in the Hamptons this past summer.

The show will be carried live on the SiriusXM Bon Jovi channel. On its website, SiriusXM says Bon Jovi Radio will air through Sunday, Dec. 4 on Channel 18, as well as on its app and online. It will return in February, when the band kicks off the tour to support the record

Jon Bon Jovi added, “We’ve played this album for four audiences so far and the response has been really gratifying. These songs are our real stories set to music and they’ve been welcomed as instant classics.”

If you can’t be in the land of pastels and art deco or listen in on the SiriusXM platforms, you’ll be able to at least get a sense of what it sounded like. The band is releasing a quickie follow-up to their studio effort with a live album, This House Is Not For Sale (Live From The London Palladium) on December 16.

How to download music from Spotify for offline listening

How to download music and podcasts from Spotify: The downloads folder.

If you're a Spotify Premium user paying that premium Spotify fee, chances are you've taken at least some time curating playlists, liking songs, and using the platform's easy-to-use (and recently revamped) user interface to discover new and old music.

But sometimes all that music or your favorite podcasts aren't available if you find yourself without an internet connection to stream them from — like on a long plane ride or weekend camping trip in the sticks. That's where Spotify's offline listening feature comes in handy, allowing you to download playlists, albums, and podcasts through its desktop and mobile apps so you can still rock out while you're off the grid.

How to switch from Spotify to Apple Music

Spotify and Apple Music transfer on a smartphone.

Spotify is the world's most popular music streaming service for a reason. It has a massive catalog of music and podcasts, is full of cool music discovery and sharing features, and is really easy to use.
However, with its recent price increase and the fact that it still hasn't joined most of its peers in offering a hi-res audio quality option, you may be considering jumping ship for its closest competitor, Apple Music, which counts lossless hi-res tracks, mind-bending spatial audio, Dolby Atmos Music tracks, and a catalog that rivals Spotify's among the many attractive reasons to switch.

But there's one problem: you’ve spent a lot of time creating playlists and marking songs and albums as your favorites in Spotify. Is it worth the switch? Will all that hard work be lost in translation?
