Music makes the world go round, or is it love? Maybe it’s the love of music. Here are some suggestions for gifts for the music lover on your list.
Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings
Still obsessed with Nirvana, or know someone who is? On Nov. 13, a compilation of home cassette recordings of conversations, musings and song fragments from the band’s late frontman Kurt Cobain, titled Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings was released. Prices start at $16.49, available at Amazon, Walmart and eBay.

John Prine
Seminal folk singer-songwriter John Prine will perform Dec. 4 at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre.

Title Fight
Support your local rock band. Kingston native Title Fight released “Hyperview,” their third studio album. The foursome has toured with the likes of New Found Glory, Balance and Composure and Rise Against. The vinyl LP is for sale on eBay for $23.19.
Beats by Dre
Tired of flimsy, stringy headphones that tangle into knots? Beats By Dre over-ear headphones are a high end, high quality listening product that make your old ear plugs seem like a can and string. Walmart sells the headphones for $159.99.
Gift Cards
For music on the go, Spotify gift cards make for a great stocking stuffer. The musical streaming service and smartphone app has blown up with more than 75 million users since it launched in 2008. The $9.99 monthly premium service axes bothersome advertisements, improves audio quality and allows download for offline listening. Gift card costs range from $10-60 at Best Buy.
