I paid $60 for The Beatles Rock Band back when it came out on 9/9/9 and I’ve definitely got my money’s worth as I’ve played it many times (and still play it now.) But at the moment you can get a new copy of the game for less than half of that price (just $28.49) [...]

You may have read reports last week that EMI was set to try to sell Abbey Road Studios (most famous for fact that The Beatles recorded almost all of their legendary songs there.) This news set off a lot of fears that Abbey Road would end up as an apartment complex or something else like [...]

Soldier of Love, Sade’s first album since 2000′s Lover’s Rock, debuted at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 album charts with more than half a million copies sold. It’s Sade’s second #1 album in the US, the first being 1985′s Promise which was their second album (their debut album, Diamond Life, was released in 1984 [...]

EarMaster Pro Ear Training Software isn’t exactly “gear” in the way people normally think of it but it seems like the best category to put it, anyway. I’ve been using this software over the last few weeks and it seems to be working really well. My ear is improving. I’ve actually tried many other ear [...]

The Vatican came out with a list of 10 recommended albums that is not altogether terrible (although there are some unusual choices.)

I just came across some electronic music recorded in 1958 that’s really blowing my mind. I didn’t realize music like this was made in 1958. I have heard some other very early experimental electronic music (such as John Cage’s “Imaginary Landscape” from 1939) but nothing like this. This is much more beat oriented and “modern” [...]

Before you get too excited, I should mention that’s $5 for each of the 100 albums not for all of them. But $5 is still a pretty good price to pay for an album. This promotion from AmazonMP3 includes a lot of excellent albums among the 100 (the list of 100 is updated monthly with [...]

The Singer/Songwriter genre is the one genre that seems to become oversaturated quickly. That being said, here is a worthy addition to that genre, in the form of Justin Black. here is a little background on Justin, taken from Justin Black’s Myspace: What happens when you have an artist who has battled throat cancer, a [...]

I was just checking out Last.FM (if you don’t know what it is, check it out) and I noticed that The Beatles have a total of over 222 million plays. This got me to wondering: “Does anyone have more than that? What would a Last.FM all time top plays list look like?” So I did [...]
