Throughout the ages, humanity has relied on music. In Africa, it was a form of communication, and in 1930’s America, it was a way to escape the economic troubles of the day. However, being a good musician is truly difficult, so finding …

I have always been the kind of person who admires music. Not only is it an art, it finds a way into your soul. Music is able to be related to and in the moment when you find a certain song, you feel like you are no longer alone …

It was obvious that this was going to be the last album by the band and so there must have been a tremendous amount pressure on the musicians. They definitely did not want to disappoint such a big number of fans. Of course the fans will always have their …

I’m Already There is a song by Lonestar. It reminds me of the many times when my husband was out on the road working in Washington DC with a crew that remodeled BP gas stations. He would call on Wednesday nights to talk to the kids and tell …

Someone Is Waiting is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the third track to appear on their debut release, On Avery Island. Picking up immediately where the previous track, You’ve Passed, left on, the vocal performance of Jeff Magnum abandons the Lou Reed-like sound which I seemed …

I got the Fender Frontman 10G with a “starter pack” from Guitar Center, which also included a Stratocaster and etc accessories. As suggested, I was pretty new to the guitar and didn’t really need anything massive to practice with. I found no problem entirely using the small 10w amp …

I went to check out guitars since my friend suddenly has an interest in learning to play a musical instrument. Since my cousin brother is a guitar player, I asked for his advice on getting one. He recommended Ibanez AEB10E to me.
When I first …

N-Sync a boy band from America that suddenly seemed to be huge over in the U.K. I think one of the reasons they were successful was their more street appearance and the fact their their love songs seemed far more edgy and upbeat.
This was the case with I’ll Never …

This UK Band, singing their hit single titled, Back Here is one of the best songs ever sung by this band. And this band is none other than BBMak. I don’t know whether the BB and the Mak should be close or separated, but that’s more or less …

I love this song so much! I think it is so perfect. Since the beginning, it has a different appeal to me. It has a different feel. It’s so 1970’s but it’s so different. It feels like a song you can listen in the morning, in the evening, anytime …

DESTROYER
A multi platiunum success that was THE album that put KISS over the top after the success of ALIVE and provided KISS with the missing component that made them popular to the masses.
This didn’t sit too well with KISS fans as KISS departed from their “Live in the Studio” …

Hot Stuff is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Black And Blue. Right from the start of the track you definitely get a funk feel out of this song just because of the rhythm of the instruments and then the vocal pattern which Jagger …

One of my favorite cds right now is Gene Simmons ***HOLE. A lot of people may be turned off by the title, but I think if you listened to it, the title soon would be forgotten.
The CD contains thirteen songs, one of which bears the ***hole title. …

Taylor Swift seems to be the new “it” girl these days in both the worlds of country music and pop music. Her records sell tons of copies and her concerts sell out. She has been extremely successful, and after purchasing and listening to her newest album entitled “Speak Now,” …

West L.A. Fadeaway is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on one of their later records, In The Dark. I will admit that after the first few Grateful Dead records, I didn’t particularly like too much of their music towards the very end of their career as …

David Allan Coe sings the song If That Ain’t Country. It’s an odd song at best that remind me of how people believe in stereo types. David Allen Coe has always been a good singer but I was shocked the first time I saw a video with him in …

The songs topped up by the lead song People Need the Lord are Mission, …

I Need A Miracle is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Shakedown Street. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which gives a nice ground for the vocals to sing over. The vocal melody on this track works very well …

The River by Good Charlotte is a song about how beautiful can not stay beautiful. this song is about how this person got baptized in the river and now they believe. This song to me mainly talks about sins and how the kids should find their way back home …

Personally there’re not so cool songs, …

Church by T-pain is a song that plays towards the begging of the movie step up 2 where they have the dance off between Tyler and Andy. It is a very cool song for the dance they do. I like the song because it talks about how this …

One More Drink is from Ludacris’ latest 2008 album Theater of the Mind. It has a very different sound from usual Ludacris songs, but it is my absolute favorite song of his so far. The blend of a claps and beats to dreamy bells is
stunning. This makes the song …

Sweet Amber is one of the tracks which appears on arguably Metallica’s worst record, St. Anger. Although I do sound very pessimistic just from the opening line of the review, I want to make it clear that St. Anger just wasn’t a good album at all. I know that …

Overview —“ Train Of Consequences, a single and music video released by Megadeth for their sixth record, Youthanasia, is honestly a track that I remember being better than how I hear the track now. I believed that Youthanasia is considered to Megadeth’s last good record, or at least last …

Secret Window is a film based on a novel written by Stephen King and starring Johnny Depp. My girlfriend is a huge fan of Depp so I typically watch his movies with her occasionally but I have to admit that he’s never disappointed me in a role and it …

Seymour Duncan active humbuckers. Amazing.
I’ve got these installed in a late 80’s Ibanez that I did a custom finish on. They sound amazing. They bring out more mids and highs without going to the point of being overpowering. Great bass response too.
To start from the beginning, I was rebuilding …

I’ll Be There is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Risk. I’ll Be There starts off with a very fast guitar riff which really is just noise at an extremely frantic tempo before leading into a synthesizer part which actually sort of has an Eastern sound …

It seems to me that the rock song ‘You Belong to the City’ that became popular in the mid 80’s (1985, to be exact) tries to tell something and not just merely describing in a reflective way by using some sort of a second person address (like talking …

Good Lovin Outside is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate song on their album Sung Tongs. Opening with vocals right from the start, Good Lovin Outside takes on a tone which sounds somewhat hypnotizing to be honest. Perhaps this is just the way I hear the …

This is one of the songs that you don’t like at the beginning but once you hear it the third time, you are instantly in love with the song. I love this song because of the beats and his voice. Travie McCoy’s voice really makes up the song. His …
