Music is Power

Looking for inexpensive music downloads, cds, old vinyl records, or music or your newest mp3?

We at Blue Room USA are crazy about music news and finding the best deals – We are absolutely addicted to music, but we don’t want to spend too much. BUT and this is ab big But… always legally. As much as we would like to get our music downloads off a torrent or a peer-to-peer site, we won’t do it —  you are looking at a $100,000 fine. So if there is any description that I’d like on my tombstone, it could be “an iPod addict who’d like nothing better to do find somewhere great for cheap or free music downloads”. Let’s get the free ones that I’ve discovered out of the way.  AOL Radio, SHOUTcast, AOL Music Weekly CD Listening Party and Spinner’s MP3 of the Day are wonderful for a couple of free crumbs every now and then. But for reliable low costs music and news, this site is where to go.
At first glance, Rhapsody looks like an offer that he could not possibly want more out of. You pay your few dollars (between $10 a month and $15 a month), and stream all the music you could ever want on your computer or your phone; they have nearly ten million songs, and all of it is practically in your mobile device at any time. You can even set up an online library right on Rhapsody to listen to your unlimited subscription downloads. If you want to own your MP3 music downloads, it’ll cost you something like 69 cents. So all of this seems fine; what is my gripe? To begin with, Rhapsody hates the Mac. You can use it on the Mac, but everything is so badly designed for anything but the PC. It also, the whole subscription streaming service ends up charging me several dollars every month for the rest of my life. I’ll never get a song the moment I stop paying. And may confine in a little secret? Those tantalizing unlimited subscription downloads? I never found out how to actually get them.
When we find a deal, we’ll let you know about quickly; so book mark this site now before you forget.
We search the web and bring up the best in auction sites or classified ads or (can’t really say – it’s our trade secret). We work tirelessly so you don’t have to spend your time doing it. And don’t worry, we get paid by 3rd parties at times and sometimes not but not by jacking up the price to you.
We also try to bring some of the best music news and information possible. Keep things interesting and fun. No matter what you taste in music, we’ll try to provide for everyone. We are from the good old US of A; so, our first little story is about American music. Please read below.
American music goes over big time all around the globe and has been that way for most of the last hundred years or so. Jazz was invented in the U.S. and is a distinctly American art form, though it has travelled well all over the planet and has influenced almost every type of music conceivable. Louis Armstrong travelled the globe promoting American music and jazz in particular and it continues to this day with the great alternative American music acts that are dominating worldwide.
Green Day originated in Berkeley, California and over the span of their almost thirty year career they have sold tens of millions of CDs and had multiple international hits. Their brand of purely American music inspired by punk and alternative rock is a unique invention that has been embraced by audiences of all ages. They are truly one of the few bands in history that have crossed over successfully and transcended artificial labels and media imposed boundaries. Their latest album was “21st Century Breakdown” and it was number one on the Billboard charts from the moment it came out and featured the number one hit single “21 Guns”.
Another great band playing American music is also coincidentally from Berkeley, California, the same hometown as Green Day, and this band is the great Counting Crows. Although there popularity has diminished a bit over the years, they have a tremendous international following and can pack them in all over the world. Their first big hit was “Mr. Jones” which was very derivative of the great Van Morrison, but more modern. They went on to score many huge hits including “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Long December”, among others.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have gradually risen in the ranks to become perhaps the number one rock band in the world, if such a thing can be measured. The group is from Los Angeles and they have scored some huge hits with their blend of American music and contemporary modern rock and rap. Songs like “Californication”, “Dani California”, “My Friends”, “Aeroplane”, “Otherside”, “Scar Tissue”, and many, many more have won them fans across many continents. Led by singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea, the group is stronger than ever and every music fan awaits their next big album.
Van Halen has sold millions and millions of albums all over the world, even though they changed singers in mid-stream, substituting the brilliant energy of David Lee Roth for the piercing vocal gymnastics of Sammy Hagar. Whoever the singer is, Van Halen can fill up stadiums wherever they play their rock tinged American music, no matter what country they happen to be in. When they are not playing you can find them relaxing in Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Mexico.
