Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Rush

by Austin Krueger on April 28, 2015 2 comments

Many friends of mine tell me they just can’t get over Geddy Lee’s vocals, and it makes Rush a tough listen. This album might be a great introduction for those types, as there is quite a bit of instrumental on this record, and it can give you a great appreciation for what they were doing. I think this album is a near perfect blend of top 40’s radio and pure rock music. If you’re a fan of simply well done rock music, it should be right in your wheelhouse.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Bruno Mars

by Austin Krueger on April 21, 2015 0 comments

Peter Hernandez was born in October of 1985 in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the age of 2, Peter was given the nickname of Bruno because of a striking resemblance to professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. The Mars surname was added later, as a differentiator between him and other Hispanic pop artists. He moved to LA to become a star but it took a while—he was a well-known writer and producer before being known as a musical artist. His first album is proof that good things come to those who wait.

How quickly is 4K changing the TV landscape?

by Guest Blogger on April 16, 2015 2 comments

4K is big, and there is no doubt that one day it will be mainstream. With 4K TVs at surprisingly affordable prices (just this week Vizio announced a 4K TV for only $600), and Netflix and Amazon committed to delivering 4K content, the momentum behind Ultra HD 4K TV is gathering.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Moody Blues

by Austin Krueger on April 14, 2015 0 comments

Music can actually just be a really good story, told through musicians and leading the listener to truly understand the highs and lows of what the writer was or is feeling when singing their songs. Today’s band may not be the first to bring a theatric element to music, but they sure did do it well.
