Green Day - Holiday (Song)
Holiday, the third track of American Idiot, obviously isn’t as complex or developed as the previous track, Jesus Of Suburbia, but is nevertheless a pretty good song in my opinion. I stated in my review of American Idiot that the title track may not be exactly what Green Day …

Bob Marley ‘Legends’ Album

Digitech RP200 Guitar Pedal
This little beauty can be your resident musician’s best friend. My husband purchased this for himself recently when he bought a new guitar. At the cost of $185.00 USD, it was still more inexpensive than other ones of the same type.
This pedal does it all! You will have to …

In the Time of Gods - Dar Williams
This album was released very recently - just on the 17th of April. I am a huge fan of all of Dar Williams’ music, but, although I had very high expectations, I was not at all disappointed.
As with all of this unique singer songwriter’s music, each song is completely …
Pearl Jam - Ten (1994)
I love this album. I never actually believed I’d like something by Pearl Jam, not because I consider them a weak band, but because their musical style left me cold. Some categorize it as alternative rock, although I’d much rather say that they’re just a good hard rock band …
Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.

That Old Feeling CD

Umbrella by Rihanna, Music

Reba McEntire: Greatest Hits, Volume Two CD

The Cranberries
I was 16 (now I’m 21) when I started listening to The Cranberries. They were the ones who made me like music in general, and they’re the ones I’ll probably always hold in my heart. And that is why I’m really biased when it comes to this particular band, …
Brad Maule: Chameleon CD
Unlike his first CD, Living It Up, Brad Maule: Chameleon CD doesn’t have quite the country feel to it that I so enjoyed. It’s a bit edgier and a bit more … well, I’m going to say average. I feel that he’s a better singer than what …
