Gift Guide For Your Music Loving Friend

Whether it's your brother, sister, mom, dad, cousin, aunt, uncle, best friend, significant other, or even just an acquaintance, these gifts are sure to make any music lover excited. In no particular order, here's a perfect gift giving list for your favorite music lovers in your life.

1. Guitar Gear

Anyone who plays guitar knows that picks go missing 24/7. So getting someone some cool guitar picks, or even strings, is a great gift idea.

2. Concert Tickets

Of course concert tickets are the perfect gift! It could be a favorite band, or a brand new find. Either way, it'll be a fun night.

3. Beats

The new wireless Beats by Dre are super handy and are really popular.

4. Rare records

This one is a little tough. If you know your friend is looking for a particular record that they're obsessed with, dig a little and try and find it. This could mean driving around to record stores out of the way, or maybe even some online shopping. It'll be worth the work when you watch them unwrap the record they've been searching for.

5. Armbands

Ipod/Iphone armbands are perfect for the gym.

6. iTunes Giftcards

Most songs are $1.29, so gifting an iTunes gift card will definitely bring a smile to your friends face.

7. Concert Posters

Most can be found on band websites, but vintage concert posters are even better. Do some digging into your friends favorite band and find them some vintage wall decor.

8. Band Tees

Band tees usually range from $20-$50 but every music lover likes to have a tee to represent their favorite band.

9. 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery

This book is a great gift that covers a wide range of musical genres from the 1950's- 2000's.

10. Record Player

Vinyl always sounds better...

11. Destination Concert Tickets

A mini vacation, plus a concert to look forward to? Yes, please. Pick a cool destination and look at some upcoming concerts. This takes a little more planning, but it will all be worth it when the gift recipient spend their present. Same goes for festival tickets!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
