One of the most used gadgets today is the iPod. It has yearly been upgraded to be able to provide customers with as much fun and entertainment as it possibly could. Even up to now, Apple is looking for ways to make the iPod suitable for all ages and for all occupations. When iPod video came out a couple of years back, this made a huge impact on technology. The ability to watch videos on a music player just changed everything. Now you see gadgets as small as the iPod nano being able to carry these videos.

I’ve been obsessively collecting albums since I was 14 years old. I began collecting cassette tapes first because my Dad, chucked off our turntable in the river during a big disagreement with a technician who was supposed to repair it. More »
A friend of mine paid me a visit a few days ago.
My friend and I both love music and we had an enjoyable conversation about the new bands and artists we’ve discovered. We were having so much fun giving each other recommendations. Eventually, we began to discuss how we’ve been supporting our “hobby.” I was surprised to find out that he doesn’t buy CDs anymore. He has, instead, began to use torrents to “acquire” the music he listens to. More »
I’ve been stuck at the hospital for almost four days now. My seven month old daughter was confined because of bacterial pneumonia. The stress of having your child at the hospital and being on 24 hour watch meant that I’m not able to post regularly (besides, the hospital doesn’t have WiFi).
In between feedings, nebulization schedules and cleaning Alex up, I would talk to her and soothe her with songs. More »
I love it when artists think out of the box when making music. Innovation is cool, but innovation that really makes you rethink established conventions is the best kind, in my opinion. It’s the reason why I would fall in love with bands like Morphine or Ned’s Atomic Dustbin. They’ve turned music on its ear not just with a new sound but all new band configurations that I wouldn’t even imagine. More »
Even though I grew up with a record player at home — an old cabinet-style phono system that my dad bought, I really only started collecting LPs two years ago. I’ve been a hardcore collector of cassette tapes and CDs. I began collecting cassettes when I was 14 (my first album being The Police’s Synchronicity) but was a bit late joining the CD bandwagon because I couldn’t afford to buy a CD player until I was already in the work force and earning a steady salary. In the decades that I’ve been collecting I’ve amassed more than 400 cassettes and almost 2000 CDs. But I’ll tell you a secret — I love looking at the ten LPs in my collection the most. More »
September 2009 and has come and gone. And we’ve had the mastered versions of The Beatles‘ catalog for a while now.
My recession-hit pockets can only afford to buy five albums right now — Revolver, The White Album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road. But let me tell you these are all worth the price. More »
I’m on the constant lookout for fresh music. And when I mean fresh, I mean music that’s not played ad nauseum on MTV — besides I don’t consider majority of what’s played on that channel as music anyway, most of it just manufactured merchandising crap. One band I stumbled upon almost four years ago was Fujiya and Miyagi. Despite the very Japanese name and the obvious conclusion that it’s a duo, the band is actually a trio from Brighton, England (they have since added a fourth member on drums). More »
The metal world has become a touch darker with the passing of one of metal’s acknowledged gods, Ronnie James Dio. More »
Finally, more news about M.I.A.’s (love her to bits but it’s a bitch typing her name because of all the periods) upcoming new album. And if I’m complaining about typing her name, then the album’s title will just make it more difficult. More »
