Popular emo band Fall Out Boy is taking a break with no plans on getting back together. Pete Wentz explains: My biggest personal reason for taking a break is that I feel my name has become a hindrance for the band. (Patrick) is a musical genius and it’s unfortunate that he gets reviewed based on [...]

It’s time to take a look at this week’s Billboard charts. Why? Good question. I guess I’m just sort of a sick person, a real sick twisted kind of person who is interested in these kind of things even though I know I should not be. I’m not going to list every single album on [...]

Paul McCartney – Good Evening New York City This is a 2CD/1DVD combo (and it’s quite a good deal getting two CDs and 1 DVD for only $13.99) which documents Paul’s three shows at New York City’s Citi Field in July of this year. Citi Field is the New York Mets new field (replacing Shea [...]

As admin here at MusicByDay.com I’m writing today to hopefully entice some more people who enjoy writing about music to join this blog as contributors. I know there’s a lot of people who enjoy writing about music on various music sites and forums but the truth is most of the time when you write journals [...]

“Ask Me Why” is the 4th entry in my series on The Beatles Original Songs. It was originally released as the b-side to their second single (and first #1 hit), “Please Please Me,” and then included on the Please Please Me album. This song has definitely never been among my favorites. In fact, to me [...]

As I noted many times when writing about the huge sales for Michael Jackson‘s albums in the weeks following his death, Billboard only allowed newer albums to be included on their Billboard 200 chart. Because of this, MJ’s Number Ones was kept off of it’s rightful place as the #1 album of the week for [...]

With the upcoming release of The Beatles USB (on December eighth) there will be three different flavors of The Beatles new remasters available. (And if the rumors are true then a fourth flavor, vinyl, will be added next year.) FLAVOR ONE: The Beatles in Stereo Box Set Features remastered stereo mixes of every Beatles song [...]

I just came across this Voice Box demonstration video made by Jack Conte (who we featured here awhile back with his song “Gulf“) and I think I’m sold on the Electro Harmonix Voice Box. This thing looks to be quite awesome (and very versatile.) It can do vocal harmonies (“intelligently” based on the chords being [...]

One of the biggest draws for The Beatles USB Stick is that it contains not only 320kbps MP3s of the remastered stereo versions of every song the band released from 1962 through 1970, but also 24bit FLAC files. But I realize a lot of people don’t really know what FLAC means or why 24bit FLAC [...]

The Beatles remastered stereo catalog will now be available to purchase in MP3 (and 24bit FLAC) format in this cute little “Apple” USB stick available on December 8th of this year. It’s compatible with PC & Mac (and should work with all mp3 players including iPod & Zune.) This is the first time that The [...]
