Is originality still nurtured in times of stealing, piracy and re-mixing? Thanks to the joys of modern technology, people do not even hesitate for a single moment when clicking on that free download, it’s illegal by the way, or when duplicate copies are burnt on your computer’s CD writer. Yep, illegal music is everywhere.

Perhaps, now original will have a sacred space for once. Because don’t we always like to be different from the herd? Speaking in the same tune, what value will 100 Billboard charts in the form of a record have for us music lovers? Plenty of money, of course, and pride. After all, doesn’t a handwritten letter or card still reaches out to us in times of SMS-ing and e-mailing!

Too many questions, but the answer lies in the single, to-die-for grandcollection of music spanning over 1955 to 1990 represented by Neiman Marcus. The thirty-five year old collection is priceless, even more because they come in the traditional record format. So do hear it out for those 18,400 records.

Beatles, Elvis, Joplin, Hemdrix…just name the name and Marcus has it all for you. That too, in the original as you would find many records personally autographed by the famous singers themselves.

This ought to be called heights of creativity. Australian singer Josh Pyke has got a massive prop made for his new music video, “Make You Happy” in the form of a huge boat while is an exact replica of the guitar he performs with. This Sydney based singer is hoping to make waves with his latest release. The ARIA Award-winning songwriter is reported to have set sail on Sydney Harbour on Thursday on a giant guitar boat, shooting a video clip for his new single.
Pyke ran circles around Rozelle Bay in his unique sea craft, which was created to the exact specifications of his Maton acoustic guitar, but was careful not to rock the boat too much. He is believed to have acknowledged that the album was inspired by the sea and maritime adventures and hence the distinctive promotion strategy.

Make You Happy is the second single off Pyke’s sophomore album, Chimney’s Afire, which was released last week. We wish him a smooth sailing in this innovative endeavour.
