Last month Google announced their cloud-based music service Music Beta by Google, why it isn’t Google Music or GMusic I don’t know, because no one is going to be calling it by a name that is meaningless when shortened to 2 words and what happens when some day it is out of beta? Music by [...]

These are exciting days for cloud-based music services. Amazon launched their Cloud Drive in March. Then Google rolled out the Google Music Beta at their I/O Developer Conference.

If you don’t know about HONK!, here’s the deal. Every October brass bands from around the world make their way to Somerville, MA for a day of musical luniness and a parade to Octoberfest in Harvard Square. Oh and it’s this weekend, October 9th and 10th, 2010. I’m not talking ho-hum, oom-pa-pa, 76 Trombones kinds [...]

Yesterday Amazon.com sent me an email that I might be interested in a reissue of Norah Jones’ album Come Away With Me: Green Box (Eco).  Now I don’t know what they mean by a green box.  Maybe it’s just the color green.  Maybe it’s recycled.  But clearly they are trying to cache in on the [...]

Amazon.com WidgetsSo you may have gotten a new mp3 player yesterday that you need to fill or an iTunes gift card that is now burning a hole in your pocket.  Here are my top albums from the last year to give you some ideas.  These are probably not the most “important” albums of the year [...]

To my mind, one of the best albums of 2009 was The Gossips “Music for Men”, which I loved in part for Beth Ditto’s Blondie’esque mix of punk and disco (Heart of Glass has been one of my favorite songs since the moment I heard it back in the 70′s).  If it had been recorded [...]
