It’s the holidays in Color Music® land. Which means great music is in the air, the world is full of bright colors, and Santa’s elves have been busy. You might even say they’ve been rockin’ around the X-mas tree. How do I know this? Because I found these super cool tree ornaments when I woke up

When you think about it, building a song is fairly easy. We just repeat a few parts … and organize each section into a nice, logical order. Usually, our songs will have a couple of different melodies—like a verse and  chorus—that keep things moving forward. And together, these sections create a whole that is greater

We all know musicians like tattoos. (Although, I’m not really included.) For example, Lenny Kravitz, Slash, Dave Navarro—and pretty much every other rock guitarist on earth—all seem to sport a bit of ink. Apparently, tattoos just go with the territory these days. But, hey, what about people who have tattoos of musicians on them? You

It’s pop quiz, y’all. Think fast—can you name this famous face? (And, no, this is not a picture of some medieval scholar.) If you need a little help, I’ll give you three hints: 1) He is one of the greatest lead guitarists of all time b) This British musician was a founding member of a

Last night, I had a bad dream. Seriously—it was terrible. I dreamt that I woke up in a world that was totally black-and-white. That’s right, I was colorblind. The sky was gray.

But recently, I saw some really cool artwork made out of unusual stuff: hair. That’s right, we’re looking at a giraffe sculpted from this woman’s hair. It’s crazy. I was

Dyslexia is cool. And although I’m not dyslexic myself, sometimes I wish I were. If you’ve never heard of this condition, then here’s a little background. Dyslexia is fairly common, but it’s usually considered some sort of problem. The word “dys-lexia” literally means “bad-words” in Greek. And if you have it, then it means your

Wow … have you seen Muse’s new album cover for “The Resistance”? The record came out last September. And the artwork is crizazy. (In fact, it kind of reminds me of Escher.) I haven’t heard any of the songs yet … but the cover art gets an A+ in my opinion. Check it out…. Seriously, this is
