I have never been much of a philosophical person to others; mostly because I can never find the words, but here it goes.

There are two sides of music, the side I can at least tolerate, and the side I try to ignore. I have felt the power of music first hand; but what I hear on the radio, on TV clearly isn't music. For whatever reason people have decided to stop listening to music and have settled for the atrocities that is popular music.

What bothers me most is indie music; well not all indie music. Indie music who…

Fully Streamable Music for the Fanacially Deprived Music Lover Inside All Of Us
Music is very expensive; I need a job. Maybe if I purchased it in bulk but I really don't see the idea of a three pack of the same Bob Marley CD (apologies for being an American).

4hero Parallel Universe This brings me back to the 90's living in a Chicago suburb underground music managed to find it's way to us so when I wasn't jamming out to the Backstreet Boys I always had an odd mix tape to keep my ears from committing suicide.…

February: Music for the poor!

Sorry if the years are wrong, too lazy to check (:

I needed a new pair of headphones for my Walkman (MP3 players takes out all the fun out of music) and wanted quality without the price. SE110's can be purchased for about $80-$100 and can be found almost every where and feature noise oscillating "technology" (thing earplugs). For $100 you get 2 styles of ear pieces (foam and rubber) each coming in three different sizes.

For the most part the headphones seem extremely well built, the splitter is right above the plug which I believe is to make splitting music easier, because of that the headphones also come with a…

Since I started using last.fm (about 8 months ago) my music taste has became a lot more eclectic. About 1 year ago what I listened to can be described simply as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, and Radiohead. All very talented and popular groups but that's all I listened to. But then something happened, Air popped into my recommendation with their song Mer Du Japon, and I couldn't get over it, so simple so pretty, it was like nothing I had heard before long I was exploring the world of Trip-Hop. Trip Hop was something…

There is a lot of things wrong with the recording industry. We all know that by now.

The food industry will often offer free samples of their food in grocery stores and restaurants to inform people that the product they are sampling protect exists and that it is a quality product that you enjoy often giving people the impulse to buy that right away product. I feel this can (and is) be(ing) translated into the recording industry well. Recently I was looking into the Cinematic Orchestra's new album (Ma Fleur. Being ran from an independent label Ninja…

Sorry, but this is starting to become too much of a pain to update, sorry, I will try to database it.

Recently my left earbud has become mute on my cheap Philips headphones I bought for $30 at target. That was my last pair of earbuds, and I am back to using some cheap old headphones.

I have been looking around and I think I am set on these,
Shure E3c's they cost between $130 to $200 and feature great quality for the buck.

I also looked at the v-moda vibe, but decided against it when I realized it didn't have much of a warranty which could be problematic since earphones are not a high yield product.

update:
Now I…
