It was a tangible representa...
Concert Tickets and Passes: Small Pieces Of Music HistoryConcert tickets and backstage passes have become excellent collectibles. Most are not overly expensive and they make a great scrap book project or, even better, make for a great art piece when designed into a collage to enjoy on a wall. Like most music collectibles, the artist matters (although also always a matter of personal taste), but older dated shows from an artist's early career or particularly famous shows can be the most highly sought after. Like with most collectibles, condition...

But in many ways, Elvis never really left. His extraordinary legacy continues through his timeless contributions to rock, pop, gospel, and film. He still holds the record for the most RIAA Gold Album Awards of any artist, a testament to his end...
Woodstock's 50th: Peace, Love and... Music!Just this past week on August 15, 50 years ago, the legendary Woodstock festival kicked off. Held on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains just northwest of New York City from August 15–18, 1969, it made a lasting impression on its attendees and also led the way for festivals that followed. While the security issues, weather and sporadic sound problems informed concert promoters on how to produce future fests, the largely peace-loving crowd enjoyed an amazing and once-in-a lifetime experien...
Oasis Isolated Noel Gallagher Guitars and VocalsListen to Noel Gallagher of Oasis on all his guitar tracks (acoustic and rhythm electric parts) on their classic hit "Wonderwall". Great parts that add up to make a great track underneath Liam's vocal. And just for extra fun (and because many non-Oasis fans think Liam sings all their songs!), here is Noel's great vocal track from "Don't Look Back In Anger" isolated as well. These videos work in the U.S. but note that they may not work in other countries. For more c...

A Lost Art: 1970s-90s Record Store StandeesBefore streaming playlists and social media promotion, record labels had a much more physical way of grabbing fans’ attention: giant cardboard standees, hanging mobiles, oversized album displays, and elaborate in-store cutouts that transformed record shops into miniature music museums. During the 1970s and 1980s in particular, these promotional displays became a defining part of music retail culture. Walk into a mall record store in 1974 and you might see a towering Queen standee near shelves...
