If you’re looking for Christmas gifts (or just for a great deal for something for yourself) then you should definitely check out Amazon’s “Cyber Monday” deals today. There’s a lot of great deals on all kinds of stuff, including music. For example you can get the Bob Dylan mono box set (his first 8 albums [...]

The current bestselling albums on Amazon.com with my commentary for each. #1 Brian Wilson – Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin I’ve been planning on checking this out myself, but I haven’t got to it yet. I’m a huge fan of Brian Wilson and I think this is a pretty cool idea. In fact I may buy [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

On January 10th I did a post about US vinyl album sales in 2009 and how the 2.5 million vinyl LPs sold in 2009 was a new peak since Soundscan started keeping track in 1991. This climb in vinyl sales has been a sharp climb from just under one million in 2007 to 1.8 million [...]

I won’t go into my long spiel praising AmazonMP3 (yes, it’s much much better than iTunes) this time because this deal should make it’s awesomeness self evident: You can now download Radiohead’s Kid A (many people’s – including myself – choice for “album of the decade”) for only $1.99 on Amazon! Of course you probably [...]

I’ve been hyping AmazonMP3 a lot lately and I think there’s plenty of very good reasons for that not least of which is their selection of over 800 albums that can be downloaded for just $5. There’s also the fact that the mp3 file quality is better than over at ITunes and you don’t have [...]

I’ve mentioned here a few times before how much I like AmazonMP3 (I think it’s way better than ITunes) for purchasing music downloads. The selection is outstanding and I like that the mp3 quality is better than it is on ITunes and that you don’t have to use ITunes as your player (I prefer Winamp) [...]

A little PSA for anyone else who does almost all of their Christmas shopping online: Time is running out, especially if you’re interested in getting free shipping (which I would assume that you are.) Some Places To Shop: Amazon.com, GuitarCenter.com, & CCMusic.com In Canada: Amazon.ca In the UK: Amazon.co.uk If you’re reading this on December [...]
