Artist Branded Headphones
Posted by heather in February 23rd 2010
While writing my previous headphone-related article, I started thinking about the variety of artists who have collaborated with manufacturers of audio equipment to produce branded products with which their fans could display allegiance while – of course – rocking out to their music.

Music is wired into our DNA
Posted by NA Admin in July 27th 2009
Isn’t it great how humans can sing or dance rhythmically to music? It’s a shame no other creature can…or can they? I think I just found my new wingman: a bird named Snowball. He can dance, sing, and also has a pretty good taste in music. Check out this video where he is dancing to [...]
