The fine folks at Harmonix are responsible for creating some of the best music and rhythm games on the market, specifically Rock Band. This is not hard proven fact, solely my opinion, but I stand by it. As a group of developers, they pride themselves on knowing music because they are obviously passionate about the [...]

Weird Al Yankovic has released the new video for his single “Craigslist” on YouTube. His “tribute” to The Doors is quite good and one of his better produced songs, in my opinion. Check it out!

My Zune has been on random this morning, as usual… Normally I flick through songs that I am just not in the mood to hear – finally stumbling upon some gem that I haven’t listened to in a while. This morning’s gem is a song by My Friend The Chocolate Cake: “I’ve Got A Plan”.

This [...]

I have to [...]

The Alabama Symphony Orchestra surprised me by inviting Video Games Live to play in Birmingham. The inner nerd in me shed a tear of joy, as I have been looking forward to seeing one of these performances for a long time.

I had no idea really what to expect when arriving at the BJCC. I [...]

I am not very familiar with Amos Lee and his catalog of music, but what I am hearing from his latest album “Last Days At The Lodge” are fairly mellow, R&B inspired songs that resonate with something personal to Lee. Apparently, he wrote all the songs that appear on this album, which I applaud. You [...]

I have recently discovered a new music group that is just incredible. The sisterly duo, known as The Callen Sisters, are unique, to say the least. With a pairing of a guitar and a harp, along with beautiful vocal harmonization, they have created a wonderful blend of music.

This is a great article, in my opinion…
It harps on the rising cost of DRM-less music tracks from iTunes Music Store, to locked content on video games. It’s an editorial piece, with an opinion I can support.
From the article:

CNET Reports:
AnywhereCD.com allows you to purchase DRM-free MP3’s that can be played on any portable MP3 player.
This sounds like a good plan to me. However, the freedom to play your songs on the device of your choice comes at a premium… looking to be about $2 USD per album. And this new site doesn’t [...]
