Face the music: record jacket mashups

Posted by NA Admin in January 31st 2009  

Call me crazy, but I still love vinyl records.   I could come up with a million reasons for this, some reasonable and some completely fabricated (personally, I like the crackles and pops!), but any time I find another reason to love vinyl records, it makes me happy. Here is a creative use for record jackets [...]

Most expensive concert tickets of 2008

Posted by NA Admin in January 28th 2009  

Concerts seem to be getting more and more expensive every year, especially for all these big name acts. CD sales are down, so more money must be made from live shows and merchandising. Personally, if I’m going to go and listen to music, I’d rather go see a smokin’ hot local band play for 10 [...]

Musicians and bands who use twitter

Posted by NA Admin in January 26th 2009  

In the recent past, bands who were anyone (and even those who are not anyone) needed to have a myspace page, a facebook group and a last.fm page.  Well, lately there has been a new kid is on the block, and it’s now obvious that if you’re a band and you want to be cool, [...]

Electronic music in the 1920′s – the ondes Martenot

Posted by NA Admin in January 25th 2009  

The ondes Martenot (which is French for “Martenot waves”, also known as the ondium Martenot, Martenot and ondes musicales) is one of the first electronic musical instruments ever created. It was invented in 1928 by Maurice Martenot and it’s sound was very similar to a theremin – except with much more control over the timbre [...]

Rockamovya – righteous dub reggae from Jamaica

Posted by NA Admin in January 23rd 2009  

In keeping with our New Years promise, we are going to be featuring interesting new (and old) bands and other musical artists that we discover.  The idea is to cover many different genres and to expose you to music that you may not have heard (or even have thought of hearing!).

Hard Rock Vases

Posted by NA Admin in January 19th 2009  

Artist Pierre Blanc makes beautiful fancy vases with emblems of hard rock bands.  To me, this just seems like such a strange fusion of concepts that I simply can’t decide if they are compelling or just downright ugly.  Nevertheless, each piece is unique – signed, dated and numbered. I’m not too sure who would buy [...]

70’S Rock Stars At Their Parents Houses – Part 2

Posted by NA Admin in January 18th 2009  

Back in November, we posted a gallery of 70′s rock stars posing with their parents in their parents homes. We saw Frank Zappa, Grace Slick, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Donovan, David Crosby and the Jackson Five.  The gallery was incredibly popular – I think that the pictures were so compelling due to the humanizing effect [...]
