2008 Dates Announced

On September 1st the first, and hopefully annual, Lighthouse Jazz Fest will start at the Huntington lighthouse. The event was designed to raise awareness for the Huntington lighthouse, which was saved from demolition 22 years ago.

The event will start at the lighthouse site in the afternoon and move to local restaurant, Indigo for a night performance. The festival is free and will offer plenty of merchandise available for purchasing.

This is looking to be the greatest show in town this year with the stage being atop of the actual lighthouse! (more…)

The newest craze in purchasing music online is either paying per song/album like in iTunes, or doing a subscription like Napster. There’s a major flaw with both approaches, you never technically own the music. All you “purchase” is a digital file, there’s no jewel cases, or print album art.

To provide an alternative, Your Music is offering a new way to combine the ease of buying music online, with the satisfaction of being an album owner. And the best part is that its actually cheaper then buying a cd in iTunes where most are priced at $9.99. And compared to many Long Island record stores, Your Music albums do not cost $15+.

With Your Music, you only pay $6.99 per album, free shipping and handling. The album is yours to keep, and you can cancel their service at anytime. You have to purchase at least one album a month for $6.99 and if you happen to want an extra one, it is still only $6.99. Again, no shipping fees.

Here is a small list of the thousands of albums available at Your Music for only $6.99: (more…)
