Home Recording Studios. They're way "in," according to The Washington Post. With computer technology and music software so user-friendly and affordable now, even the most tone-deaf couch potato can become The King of his own basement.

Some Kings are creating state of the art in-home studios. Others are outfitting their basements with a couple mid-range computers, a decent microphone, a makeshift band-stand, and jamming hearty with friends. But all have the dream and, increasingly, all are living it. Rock on! And if the neighbors complain about the deafening drums at 4:00 a.m., tell them not to worry; you'll be installing that new soundproofing material for your former home-office any day now.
