Singer Kid Rock
If you want to talk about a diverse singer, Kid Rock would be the one. He changes sides so often that you almost can’t keep up with him. He goes from songs like “American Badass” to “Picture” without batting an eyelash. Honestly, I don’t even know what genre that …
The White Stripes band
The White Stripes is a band that has gained growing popularity over the last few years in Austin. It is funny because when I visit Seattle, White Stripes is huge there, so I feel that I am in kindred company. I had heard some airplay of their songs on …
Aerosmith ‘Music From Another Dimension!’ album
Released in November 2012, “Music From Another Dimension!” is Aerosmith’s 15th studio album and the first since their last album released back in 2004 titled “Honkin’ On Bobo”. This latest album features 15 brand new songs and is full of great material that I think will be …

Fender Frontman 10G: 10w Guitar Amplifier
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 …
MGMT - The Youth (Song)
The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song. Listening to the first lyrics of the song, a listener should immediately get a …
Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony
Overview —“ Speed Metal Symphony, the debut album released by Cacophony is one of the best examples of an album I can think of where the guitarists work extremely well together. For those of you who don’t know, Cacophony is basically a neo-classical band whose two guitarists were Jason …
Iron Maiden - Only The Good Die Young (Song)
Only The Good Die Young is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. This song opens up with a pretty quick guitar lead which has a very upbeat sound to it but it’s a pretty cool riff nonetheless, although I …
Aerosmith
I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …
Country Comforts by artist Keith Urban
There’s nothing like a feel good country song. I love the song Country Comforts. I first heard it when Rod Stewart sang it and I loved that version. I wasn’t even beginning to love it until I heard Keith Urban’s version. He has a wonderful voice that fits perfectly …

Warbringer- “Waking into Nightmares” music album

Shooting Shark by Blue Oyster Cult
The band Blue Oyster cult has a really big 80s hit off their album The Revölution by Night in 1983. It was the largest single off that album. This song was featured on a poor selling Cult album but I really like it because it fits the time of …

Day and Age, 2008 Album by The Killers

Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Song)

The Chronic- Dr. Dre
The 1992 album, The Chronic, by West Coast rapper Dr. Dre is a classic. Even after 17 years, the album still sounds very fresh in my mind and I still play it in my car regularly to this day. The album was famous for three hit rap singles which …
Street Fairie CD by Cree Summer
Anyone who’s seen the show “A Different World” (hit 1987 spinoff of sitcom, “The Cosby Show”) probably remembers the earthy, bohemian airhead named Freddy. Her real name is Cree Summer, and when you hear her slightly whiny, yet melodic voice on her debut album “Street Fairie“, you’ll …

I love this album. I have been through this album so many times. When I was about twelve I …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …
Stone Temple Pilots-Between The Lines (song)
The first single off the latest Stone Temple Pilots record released almost a year ago is the first track entitled Between The Lines. It has an upbeat tempo that it starts off the album with. This song starts off with a heavy guitar intro where almost immediately Scott’s …

Just to see you smile by Tim McGraw
Just to see you smile is one of Tim McGraws many great songs. It is about a boy who quits his job so he can be with a girl. It seems a bit foolish to quit a job, but I guess it shows his dedication to the girl that …

Ibanez ATK-305 Bass Guitar (Musical Instrument)
Bassists look for the same things when they buy a bass guitar: beefy tone, comfortable feel, great versatility, and of course, a killer look! I had all of these things in mind when I went searching for a new bass guitar. I have recently become busy with …
Angel Haze Dirty Gold Album
Angel Haze is a relatively unknown rapper, although she has been garnering features on several well-known mainstream songs, such as Nick Jonas’ Numb and Mary Lambert’s Ribcage.
Her debut album Dirty Gold however, is a mini masterpiece in itself. For people like me who enjoy rap because it’s a …
Eminem - My Name Is - Single
Without question, not Eminems best track and yet it remains a classic, why? Because My Name Is was the track that seemed to really announce Eminem on the world stage.
It wasn’t his first song or from his first album but it was the one that captured peoples attention and …
Nickelback: All The Right Reasons
Nickelback’s album “All The Right Reasons” is my favorite album ever. Honestly, I can’t think of any other album in the world that I like more than this one. What do I feel so strongly about it? The fact that every song on it is great! I don’t mind …
Magic and Mayhen; by the Coral
This album continues where the last one left off. The Coral continue their slightly tinny sounding, modern pastiche of sixties music, which works a treat. I loved it from the first song ‘In the Forest’, right through to the last, every songs a winner. Slightly darker …
DJ Got us Falling In love a song by Usher featuring Pittbull
This song is what makes me feel awake during at night. Whenever I hear it, it makes me dance because of the upbeat and clubby tunes. It looks like R&B balladeer Usher is shifting to pop with this song. He teamed up with Pittbull. The song is about a …
Lady Gaga - Dance In The Dark (Song)
Dance In The Dark is a song by Lady Gaga which appears on her album The Fame Monster. The track opens up with a fairly annoying introduction which unfortunately seems to remind me of the music of the 1980s. Gaga’s vocals come in soon enough with more of a …

Pussycat Dolls- Doll Domination: CD

Chi-Lites
Once many people get to know me it will soon become clear to them that I am not the type of person who likes listening to soul music. In fact, I think many people will be surprised to find out that I actually know a lot about old soul …
Plan - Stay Too Long - Single
Stay Too Long, for me , shows the more upbeat side of Plan B’s nature. If you think he only does down beat or deep stuff this is a real head lightener for you. It’s bright from the start and dare I say it, chirpy and catchy.
It’s one of …
we danced
We danced by Brad Paisley is a beautiful song about how this woman left her purse at a cafe and the guy working there closing up asked her if she would dance with him. Well that started a relationship between them and she stopped by one day after his …
Kanye West - Jesus Is King arthouse album
Jesus Is King is Kanye West’s most arthouse album.
I’m surprised that “Jesus Is King” was Kanye’s lowest-rated album, especially considering that it sounds fresher than anything that came out in 2019 overall. Don’t think fresher = better, because this album is far from ideal. And there is a feeling …

Metallica - To Live Is To Die (Song)
To Live Is To Die, the third instrumental released by Metallica, is unfortunately a track which I define as having a truly brilliant middle melodic section, one of Metallica’s greatest sections throughout their career, but for the most part is just a lot of boring rhythms without much progress …
Bob Dylan - Freight Train Blues (Song)
Freight Train Blues is a song performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a fairly hectic harmonica section and I will say right away that compared to other songs on Dylan’s debut album, Freight Train Blues has a bit more …
MGMT - Time To Pretend (Song)
Time To Pretend is a song by MGMT which appears on their second record, Oracular Spectacular. Being one of many singles to be released off this record, I’m sure this song is familiar to just about all MGMT fans and probably most people who listen to a rock radio …
