The soundtrack for the new Twilight movie is at #1 this week in it’s first full week of release (it was #2 last week despite being released on a Friday instead of the usual Tuesday.) I must admit that I bought this soundtrack even though I rarely buy movie soundtracks and even though I think […]

Picking up where I left off over two months ago, “PS I Love You,” with my “Beatles Songs” series. In this series I take a very close look at every original song The Beatles recorded and officially released from 1962 through 1970. This is the 3rd song in that progression.
I think “Please Please Me” is […]

In many theaters around the US (and in Canada) Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” film is opening at midnight tonight. I recommend checking “the Google” to see if it’s playing at one of your local theaters.
“This Is It” was going to be a worldwide tour beginning with a series of 50 concerts in London […]

This is the second entry in my new series: “The Beatles Songs That Are Better In Mono” which is highlighting the songs which I believe to be significantly better in mono than than they are in stereo when comparing the versions included in The Beatles in Mono & The Beatles in Stereo box sets.

I’m not sure of how many new copies of the box set were made or whether it will […]

No, I’m not a fan of the Twilight […]

The new Billboard album charts are out for the week and The Flaming Lips newest album Embryonic debuted at #8 with 32,000 copies sold. This is the highest the band has ever charted in the US beating out the band’s last album At War with the Mystics which reached #11. But it should be noted […]

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to get some analog warmth in your signal chain (whether recording direct in instruments or with a microphone) then the ART MPA Gold Tube Preamp is definitely worth checking out. It’s street price is just about $300 which is about as cheap as you’re going to be able […]

I think I’ve done a post very similar to this in the past but what can I say? I’m addicted to The Beatles and to Last.FM and I find it very interesting to see which Beatles songs are played the most often.
I’m going to be using the chart from the last 6 months which […]

And this is where I take a look at some of the more interesting album releases coming up over the last two months of the last year of the first decade of the first century of the 3rd millennium.
