Posted by NA Admin in May 3rd 2009  

Amazon has published their take on the 100 greatest jazz albums of all time. I had a great time going through this list, remembering music that I hadn’t heard in a long, long time and I also discovered a few albums (and musicians) that I still hadn’t been turned on to.
Here is the list [...]

Some of the most controversial album covers ever

Posted by NA Admin in April 2nd 2009  

It’s amazing how times change. What would be considered absolutely unacceptable 40 years ago is the norm now. Sometimes I wonder what people will find completely acceptable 40 years from now. Yikes!
In any case, just for fun, here are 30 or so album covers that were either banned, changed to appease an [...]

Posted by NA Admin in March 4th 2009  

I always like to wonder about what my favorite musicians listen to. It helps me discover new music and it’s also fun to find out what music inspires the musicians that have inspired me.
Every once in a while I read an interview with one of my favorite bands and they mention some albums they like.  [...]

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, [...]
