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 already own […]

EDIT: Now the Kindle DX also has global wireless service.
What’s Amazon’s Kindle have to do with music?
Well not too much directly, I suppose. But I read a lot of books about music and many of those books are available on the Kindle. On top of that, you can subscribe to some music blogs and […]

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) […]

I’d been considering buying the MXR Carbon Copy for some time (because I’m a bit obsessed with getting more analog in my signal chain and delay is an effect I use a lot) when I finally decided to get one this week after reading a lot of positive reviews about how much better the delay […]

I’m jazz novice but I do quite enjoy the Miles Davis stuff that I have (the usual suspects like Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, & Bitches Brew.)
But you true jazz freaks (hopefully Howard Moon is reading this…) may want to get your hands on The Complete Columbia Album Collection which is a 70 […]
