Bob Dylan - The Ballad Of Ira Hayes (Song)
The Ballad Of Ira Hayes is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Dylan. Apparently this song is a cover which is actually something that I was not aware of, but then again, I do remember that at least a few tracks on Dylan were cover …
The Spinners (music group)
Although I am not a fan of R&B and soul music, I know old music groups like “The Spinners” because my parents have been fans of soul music for years before I was born. I also am familiar with the group “The Spinners” because I have heard their …
CD Hoobastank
Hoobastank’s first album is simply called Hoobastank. It is all upbeat rock music, with clear vocals, not yelling. The lyrics are completely clean. I like that it is just a rock band most of the time, not a synthesized orchestra (although this does happen in a …
Let Go Album of Avril Lavigne in Napanee, Ontario
Of all the music albums completed by worldwide singing sensation Avril Lavigne, the Let Go album should be easily her best in my opinion. But this is not to say the lightning never strikes twice!
On the contrary, the Lavigne album that followed it, was a smash hit as …
MGMT - The Handshake (Song)
The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

Lil Kim (female hip-hop artist)
Does anyone remember when Lil Kim had all her real parts? The Lil Kim that I used to listen to had some nasty lyrics that were quite catchy. The memories I have of Lil Kim when she was with Junior Mafia and Biggie, was the female rapper …

Neutral Milk Hotel - Tuesday Moon (Song)

Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd has been my favorite band since I was a teenager in the 1980s. Throughout the years, this band has produced so many beautiful and melodic sounds. I can recall so many times where my friends and I have just made a night out of mellowing out to …
Motley Crue : Red, White and Crue
Before the album was released, a few years ago, Motley Crue fans have so long waited for this group to return to the reunion. I am sure, this group would know what the fans wanted. Therefore, Motley Crue have returned with the album Red, White & Crue. This album …

WWIII, 2003 Album by KMFDM
I remember how dissatisfied with this album I was after I bought it. It was a rather critical point then. I had bought the KMFDM album called Attak, released in 2002, and I liked it a lot. And then I saw this CD in the shop. And I thought: …
Come What May Song - Moulin Rouge Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman
When I heard this song playing in the movie, I had even loved the movie even more, this song had been the monument and foundation in which they had fallen in love and the lyrics and the song itself is incredible. It’s more of a classical and musical orchestrated …
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets
Overview - A Saucerful Of Secrets, Pink Floyd’s second effort, basically abandons the extremely psychedelic, experimental, and chaotic tone that made their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, what it was. Although the band still does have some experimental parts, and creative at that, the mood …
Insane Clown Posse
Insane Clown Posse are on of my current favorite bands, and one of the only bands I like that are �new age� in their sound, that being Horrorcore, a sub-genre of Hip-Hop. They have memorable songs left, right and center and are simply indescribable, they jump genre with most …

God Forbid Earthsblood
Being a fan of this band for some time now I have started to notice that each album they release is more experimental and less heavy, it’s the same with this album, while the musicianship and skill on the album is great I find it hard to believe this …
Music Video of Alejandro by Lady Gaga
Alejandro is the third single of the album Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. The video of Alejandro was released on 8th of June online worldwide.
And i think it is one of the greatest and craziest videos of Lady Gaga. There is monster theme again. The dancers, choreography, the outfits …
‘Everytime’ by Britney Spears
To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …
Classic (song) by Adrian Gurvitz
I like love songs, my father said there is no such as love song but ballads. It is only called love song because the song is about love. Anyway, for me whatever it is called I still love songs about love. One of this is the song by Adrian …
Memory of A Longing Love by Spoon
Memory of A Longing Love or also what it is called as ‘Memori Sekuntum Rindu’ is very poignant, sweeping and sad. I have teared a few times whilst listening to this song, sung by the band Spoon.
Unfortunately, the lead singer of this band Spoon had been killed …
Party in the USA Music Video by Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has gained a lot of fame since she came to the Hannah Montana song. Her latest song, “Party in the USA”, practically went viral. It is ridiculous how successful she has been, even with older age groups like college aged kids. Her music video for Party in …

Below is half of the track list …
Album : The Who - Who’s Next (1971)

Rather Ripped, 2006 Album by Sonic Youth
If you have never heard of Sonic Youth, if you are not familiar with their music, Rather Ripped is the very best album where you should start getting to know them. Before they released Rather Ripped, Sonic Youth have been an active band for twenty five years, and Rather …
The Flaming Lips - The Abandoned Hospital Ship (Song)

Kanye West (feat. Rihanna) - Famous (2016 Song)
I am not thoroughly familiar with Kanye West’s previous works, but I have listened to his recently released single with Rihanna, “Famous” and I can definitely say that this man is some kind of a genius!
I can certainly remember the time when everyone was angry with Rihanna and him …
Fun, Fun, Fun (song) by The Beach Boys
“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …
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 …
The Grateful Dead - Overseas Stomp (The Lindy)
Overseas Stomp (The Lindy) is a cover which appears on a reissue of the self-titled Grateful Dead album. This song is a cover but I’m sure that The Dead added their own distinct touch to the track which is what I’ll be focusing on here. The track opens up …
Album : Face Down - The Runaway (E.P)
Today I had the opportunity to check out a nice little five track E.P from up and coming groove metal act FACE DOWN. Before you say anything, no this isn’t the same groove metal band by the same name that were prominent in the late nineties, this is just …

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday album
Nicki Minaj’s first release, Pink Friday, is probably the worst music purchase of my life. I bought the album sometime late last year in anticipation of it having “Knockout”, my favorite Nicki Minaj song, on it. You know the drill: I got to the store, couldn’t remember the name …
Barry Manilow: Manilow Sings Sinatra CD

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Overview —“ Machine Head, the sixth album released by Deep Purple, is the album that I would have to say is my favorite out of Deep Purple’s entire career. The album gains most of it’s recognition for being the album which has Smoke On The Water, a song which …
Indescribable
Indescribable by Chris Tomlin is a song that sums it all up. Indescribable is just the word to describe what god is. He is hard to explain and in so many ways you can’t explain him that’s why I agree he is one hundred percent Indescribable. I like this …
Them Crooked Vultures - Scumbag Blues (song)
