Many Funerals - Eisley
I have always loved a more poppy folk sound, and for the most part, the band Eisley fills that need nicely. While they normally make a radio friendly brand of garage folk, the song “Many Funerals” shows off their ability to make a more progressive sounding rock song with …
“Autobiography” Album by Ashlee Simpson
There always seems to be a lot of pressure for the siblings of famous singers and actresses to follow in the footsteps of their celebrity relatives. I remember when there was a period of time where Jessica Simpson was majorly popular and everybody wanted to know when her sister, …
Sublime - 40 Oz. To Freedom (Album)
40 Oz. To Freedom is the debut album released by Sublime. Comprised of twenty-two songs, Sublime does a good job of covering quite a lot of musical ground and I’m sure there is at least a couple tracks on here that every listener could enjoy. From their more classic …
Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ is the new song from Kelly Clarkson. First time I hear this single, I didn’t realize that this is Kelly Clarkson’s song because its sounds a little bit different for me.
This song is still bring the pop rock melodic, but I think this …

The genius musicianship of R. Kelly was put to the test again on his 4th album “TP-2.com”. The album name serves as a continuation from his first album “12 Play”, with this album acting as the sequel: “Twelve Play-2”. Although 12 play was named because it consisted of 12 …
Metallica - Until It Sleeps (Music Video)
Overview —“ Until It Sleeps, the first music video released by Metallica for their album Load, is significantly different from any of the previous music videos that they had released up to this point in their career. In fact, just about everything about not only the video but also …
“Who We Are” Album by Hope Partlow
There are so many female artists out there these days that it can be very difficult deciding what albums are worth buying and what albums are ultimately not worth the time or the money. I like trying out very random new musical artists just to see if they are …
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Overview - The Division Bell, Pink Floyd’s final album, shows that David Gilmour can continue to really produce solid music even without the help of his past partner, Roger Waters. After the first few tracks I figured that this record would average and wouldn’t have anything too special in …
Bon Iver - Holocene (Song )
This is a song that was released 4 years ago, and this sincerely became my favorite song of all time. However, after the gigantic wave of releases for the Alternative genre this year, I seemed to forget this one existed. Up until it started raining last night, and when …
Fearless by Taylor Swift
This young crooner, Taylor Swift is no ordinary singer. My sister has Fearless by Taylor Swift sitting proudly on her album shelf and she listens to it regularly. At first I thought it is just another Britney wannabe and I thought low of the quality of the songs …
Life in a Northern Town, a song by The Dream Academy
‘Life in a Northern Town’ is a classic song, written and performed by the English folk group The Dream Academy.
The song’s wistful sound passes off a sense of melancholy over the amazing chorus chants and lyrics that transport listeners back in time. The song speaks of a a small …
Album : Benjy Davis Project - Sincerely (2011)
I have only recently been introduced to the music of the Benjy Davis Project and have been really enjoying their honest pop-rock feel which is a bit like a cross between Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty and another one of my favorites Will Hoge.
This new album of theirs is …
Fergie - Labels or love
Labels or love from Fergie is become one of the motion picture original soundtrack from ‘Sex and the city’ movie. I think the theme of the song is very match with the movie.

Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album
Kris Aquinos’ The Greatest Love Album was given to me by a friend. I was actually surprised when she first told me over phone that she would give me this Kris’ album because I know this girl could not sing. She maybe a very good host and indeed an …
Back to Basics Album by Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera first became a huge success with songs like “Genie in a Bottle”. That was back in the late 90’s when she was battling it out with fellow former Mickey Mouse Club star Britney Spears for the spotlight. In my opinion, she has always been the more talented …
“Good Girl Gone Bad” Album by Rihanna
Rihanna seems to be absolutely everywhere these days. With her ever-changing brightly colored, quirky hairstyles, it is very hard to miss her. She is constantly being played on the radio and featured on the front cover of every magazine on newsstands. I definitely understand all of the hype about …
Black Sabbath Paranoid
Paranoid is Black Sabbath’s second album released in 1970 under Vertigo Records in the UK and distributed by Warner Bros in the US. The band recorded the album the same year as their last album with the same producer Rodger Bain. The song Paranoid was recorded at the last …
Four Minutes (song by, Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake)
I think everyone knows who Madonna is and who Justin Timberlake is and so these two popular singers did a combination in Madonna’s newly released song named “Four Minutes (to save the world)” from her new album entitled Hard Candy. I first heard Four Minutes on the local radio …
Mono M80 bass guitar case (Musical Instrument Accessory)
It’s every musician’s dream to go on the road and tour. But that also means he has to subject his beloved gear to the rigorous tortures of travel. It’s always a wise move to invest in a guitar case that could help prevent your gear from sustaining …
Scars On Broadway - Universe (Song)
Universe is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut record, Scars On Broadway. Universe opens with an electric guitar riff which I would describe as sort of a driving lead which goes nicely into a drum pattern played by Dolmayan before picking up in terms …
Insomniac by Enrique Iglesias
Enrique Iglesias is my favorite singer, and I love all of his songs. I have all of his sings, and I was waiting for a long time for this album called “Insomniac” to release. And when it got released in the mid June of 2007, I was pretty much …
If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot
The Gordon Lightfoot classic “If You Could Read My Mind” opened up a pleasant trip down memory lane for me recently when a friend bought his Greatest Hits CD in Walmart. We played it in the car on the way home and I was quick to skip to my …
The Flaming Lips - Frogs (Song)
Frogs is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with a confusing and dissonant sound, the bass and drums enter the mix to give the song a somewhat more solid foundation. Though I’m surprised …
Type O Negative Bloody Kisses
The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …
Song: “So What” by Pink
The song “So what” by the artist Pink is so awesome. I am planning to purchase it from iTunes because it would be a great song to jog. It gives you a slow start but gains intensity throughout the song. The beat is infectious! I can …

The Rolling Stones - Talkin’ ‘Bout You (Song)

No Doubt (band)
Even as my tastes in music have changed over the years, the band “No Doubt” has remained one of my favourite bands. This is because I find their music to be quite usual and an interesting mixture of many of the other types of music I have been interested …
The Elements of Freedom Album by Alicia Keys
It has been quite a while since a singer has released an album with so many singles that I really, really like with the last such albums going back to Tamia’s self titled album, Puff Johnson’s ‘Miracle’ and Anita Baker’s ‘Caught up in a Rapture’.
Alicia Key’s latest offering, ‘The …
Stampeders Canada Day Concert

Eminem - Must Be The Ganja (Song)
Must Be The Ganja is a song written by Eminem which appears on his album Relapse. To begin with an overview of the album and my general thoughts on it, I felt that it was certainly a shift in the overall sound and songwriting for Eminem compared to his …
The Beatles - You Like Me Too Much (Song)
You Like Me Too Much is a track by The Beatles which appears on their record Help. The track is written by Harrison and features him on lead vocals. One thing I’m not a huge fan of about early Beatles material is that a lot of the songs all …
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 …
Glow After Dark By JLo
My husband gave me this perfume as his present last Christmas. I have never tried this perfume before until he gave one to me. Its scent is not something that I will get addicted too (unlike the J’Adore which scent is very addictive, ahhhh!). Its alright, but …
The Doors - The Changeling (Song)
The Changeling is a song by The Doors which appears on their album L.A. Woman. The track starts off with a nice organ part which has this very catchy rhythm and Morrison just sort of grunting some noises which at least adds some character to the track. A lead …
Snow Patrol : A Hundred Million Sun
Success is always a dilemma, which is accompanied by the popularity of heavy load, and the burden to continue to be in itself a success. It was a great effort to try to prove by Snow Patrol, in which released an album titled A Hundred Million Sun. Gary Lightbody, …
James Bond Theme by Richard Fortus
If you have ever seen the new line up of Guns N’ Roses, you may know a guitarist by the name of Richard Fortus. I recently saw the band live and they sounded amazing. Axl Rose was late as usual, but it was amazing to see them and …
Nine Inch Nails - Getting Smaller (Song)
Getting Smaller, a song by Nine Inch Nails for their record With Teeth, is quite an aggressive song and certainly strikes me as one of Reznor’s better songs, at least for this record at least. Getting Smaller is a pretty straightforward track which wastes no time getting into the …
Lady Gaga– Monster (song)
Lady Gaga’s song, Monster is a single of her new album, The Fame Monster. I love this song so much. I think I literally listen to it at least six times a day. It’s a song about a Monster, or a guy who she knows is a bad boy …
Stone Temple Pilots- Fast As I Can (song)
This song by Stone Temple pilots off their latest self titled album release. It is the last fast rock type song on the cd before the album ends with the two ballads called Maver and Last Kiss on Mars. This song like the others is very catchy. It …
Only Girl (In the World)- Rihanna
Rihanna has always been very bold throughout her music career but this just puts the icing on the cake. This song shows women can be powerful too, she puts a huge commanding vocal on throughout the whole song. She sells the point she is trying to make with this …
Secret Window (Film)
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 …
Muse - MK Ultra (Song)
MK Ultra is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. MK Ultra starts out in a very electronically-driven sound and basically keeps this throughout most of the song. The lyrical topic of the song deals with a CIA operation and the basic structure …

Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire (Song)
Fight Fire With Fire, the opening track to Metallica’s second album Ride The Lightning, is a song which I personally believe is one of Metallica’s fastest and most aggressive songs throughout any of their nine records. Although this song opens up with a very melodic …
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (Song)
White Light/White Heat is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album of the same name. Right from the start, a listener should get a very classic rock feel from this track and if I had to come up with some examples of very early classic …
