The Top Vinyl Records Deals on Amazon (All under $25)

As collectors, we’re always seeing what great values are out there, and how we can sustainably build upon the catalog without going broke. The “without going broke” part is the hard part.

We Are Living in the Best Time For Music Ever

We are living in the best time for music ever. Granted, the 60s were an amazing decade. And we do not have Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, or Michael Jackson anymore. But we have more access to their music than ever before. If you want to listen to Thriller or Are You Experienced, it’s only one click away.

Remembering Tupac

  Tupac Shakur was a perfect embodiment of the American identity crisis. He had to prove he was raw and not to be messed with. He was about the “THUG LIFE” tattooed in big letters across his abdomen.

Madonna Stirs the Pot with 'Dark Ballet'

Madonna Stirs the Pot with ‘Dark Ballet’

What kind of music would you make after being one of the world’s biggest pop stars for 40+ years?

Yelapa Falls is one of the most treasured sites in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Located uphill in a dense jungle environment, it is not the easiest location to get to. It’s not very difficult either if you have the right information. All-in-all, the experience should cost you around $13.50 (250 pesos). You should also be fairly fit (basically be able to walk an incline on two feet).
