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 …

“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …
Road House soundtrack CD
Road House was an action adventure film from the late 1980’s which starred Patrick Swayze as a philosophical bouncer named Dalton. This review focuses on the musical soundtrack for this Zen-like movie.
I’ll start with my favorite tracks, which naturally are the two songs which Swayze sings. Both …
The Flaming Lips - Telepathic Surgery (Album)
Telepathic Surgery is the third release by the Flaming Lips which follows their previous record, Oh My Gawd. On this record, I thought that the band continued to develop their songwriting and there are also some traces of the sound that they would go on to really hone and …
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson CD album is unique. The title of this CD is also Jennifer Hudson. She is such an amazing singer, it’s no wonder that she has won an award before. Her voice is so precious and awesome and I felt sorry for her from the bottom …
Queen - Under Pressure - Single
There is no doubt that Queen are a band for classics and Under Pressure was another from this category. I suppose when your front man is Freddie, who has an audience in the palm of his hand then you can achieve anything you want.
Funnily enough, Under Pressure, I suppose …

twenty one pilots - Cancer (2016 Song)
I am a huge fan of twenty one pilots even before they became huge this year. Honestly speaking, they are the most popular rock band right now. I don’t have trouble telling the world I am a fan of them because unlike One Direction, I think twenty one pilots …
System of a Down The Hypnotize Album
Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …
Epicon
I have always been a gigantic fan of orchestral music, so breaking out of the classical composer oriented soundtrack variety is somewhat refreshing, especially because of the cinematic sound that permeates Globus’s debut album, “Epicon”. Needless to say, I was impressed with it and would certainly like to hear …
You Were Always on My Mind
Willie Nelson does the song Always on My Mind. It is a beautiful love song. Where the guy is trying to win back his girl. He basically is telling her he is sorry that he did not realize some of the things he did wrong but that he …
It Girl (Single)- Jason Derulo
This is one of my favorite songs at the moment. As an artist, Jason Derulo is catching my eye more and more with every song he realeases. He is what I consider a matured Justin Bieber, his songs are really matured but they are still cute songs about that …
The Documentary by The Game
The Documentary by The Game was one of the best Hip Hop cds that I have heard in a very long time, when it was released in 2005 people thought that it would not be any good but this was not the case at all. It included the singles …
American Hero Concert
When I first heard about the American Hero Concert (held this past Saturday), I was interested in attending it. Both because it was at Swan Park, just down the street from me and because I grew up an Army brat and understand the importance in showing both support for …
The band Deicide
The band Deicide is a metal band that are horrible. What they sing about I have no idea because there is not one song that I can understand by them, yes it is metal music but still there are a lot of bands out there where you can figure …
Animal Collective - Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished (Album)
Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective. Comprised of ten tracks, three of which being instrumentals, the overall sound of the record can be characterized as experimental, psychedelic, and even fantasy-like. Although the album does have some tracks on it which I personally …
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat CD
This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …
Album : Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
I don’t think anybody could disagree with the fact that Iron maiden are one of the most important heavy metal bands in the history of music. If you aren’t sure why this album, Somewhere In Time is as good a place as any to start your listening journey.
Sure, …
Genesis
Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …
D’Addario XL Nickel Round Wound Electric Guitar Strings

Tesla-Little Suzi(song)
One of the songs by Hard Rock Band Tesla off their first Album Mechanical Resonance, is a cover of Little Suzi’s on the up by Pop band Phd. The Tesla version is alot better in my opinion then the original song. The original is really boring and is way …
Animal Collective - Bleed (Song)
Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …
Saving Jane (song, Girl Next Door)
Saving Jane is an alternative rock band which consists of five members, to my knowledge. The first song I ever heard from this band was called “Saving Jane”

Cradle Of Filth Lovecraft And Witchhearts
This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …

Britney Spears song Mannequin
For starters, I’m not a fan of pop music. But I am a dancer. So of course I’m inclined to dance to pop music every once in awhile. I picked up Britney Spear’s album “Circus” and the best song on there is clearly “Mannequin.” It’s …
Breakout by Miley Cyrus
It seems that there is nothing that this petite and cute young woman, Miley Cyrus cannot do. She is exceptionally good in singing and that is certainly reflected in her Breakout by Miley Cyrus album. The main reason that I totally support her brand of music is her …
Nine Inch Nails - Broken
Overview - Broken, the first EP put out by Nine Inch Nails, is basically eight extremely aggressive songs just fueled by anger, which becomes obvious not only through Reznor’s voice but even through his guitar playing. Generally I’m not a huge fan of albums that have just one feel …
Just like a Pill (song) by Pink
Since her first single Get the Party Started, I started to become a huge fan of Pink. I love her style, her body, attitude and performance. Actually of her songs are worth listening and even her videos are worth watching. Just like this song I am about to review …
My December - Kelly Clarkson

Bob Dylan - If You See Her, Say Hello (Song)
If You See Her, Say Hello is a track from Bob Dylan’s album Blood On The Tracks and certainly one of the songs on that record which I believe does a good job of conveying quite a bit of emotion and power behind both Dylan’s lyrics and vocals. I …
E.T. by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West Music Video
I have to be honest. I was not a big fan of Katy Perry’s newest music video for E.T. featuring Kanye West. My problem with this music video is that it falls into the trap that a lot of music videos fall into these days. It is way too …
Kelly Clarkson ” To Make You Feel My Love”. A Song
I was listening to the radio today and heard Kelly Clarkson’s version of “To Make You Feel My Love” and fell in love with it. I love the song to begin with but her voice is great for this song. She really seems to feel it when she sings …
John Legend - Ordinary People
I have seen John Legend before, during one of his duet performance with Mariah Carey in one of the award show, but he did not really strike me as an outstanding singer until I heard his song - Ordinary People.
I was practically speechless when I first heard it played …
Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill (2016 Song)
There is no doubt that Ed Sheeran is among the most talented singers in the world right now. His ability to write from his personal experiences or from his viewpoint of heavy themes drips heavily in the lines of his songs. What sets him apart from other great singer-songwriters …
Fender Stratocaster 60th Anniversary Guitar
Two years ago last boxing day I purchased my Fender ‘Diamond Anniversary’ American Stratocaster guitar. I believe I have owned the guitar long enough now to say I know how it plays, and to be able to fairly review it.

Illmatic - Nas
I thought that the 1994 Illmatic by rapper Nas was a classic and is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. At the time, Nas was a relatively unknown artist and west coast gangsta rap artists were dominating the hip hop scene such as Dr. Dre, …
Seventeen Seconds, 1980 Album by The Cure
This is a very beautiful record. Its beauty is very fine and well crafted. After you listen to this album for the first time, you might think that this record is not very rich in content, but in that case, you would be wrong, since this music is such …
