Slowdive - Souvlaki (1993)
I have no idea how I started listening to this band. I think it was because of the style they were playing, dubbed shoegazing, and that sounded pretty interesting. I was thinking, what can shoegazing be, or what sort of a music is that, and so, I stumbled upon …
Beer Is Good For You by David Allan Coe
Beer Is Good For You by David Allan Coe is the type of song I would have expected someone to write that was writing a jingle for a Budweiser commercial. I had never heard it before so when I came across it I had to just check it out. …
Flying the Corporate Jet - Nine Days album
If you are looking for some different music to listen to, I would strongly suggest the album put out in 2003, by Nine Days. This is the band that brought you “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” back in 2001, and they’ve continued making music since then, even though …
Invasion - Eisley

The Lumineers - Cleopatra (2016 Song)
Remember when the Mumford-constructed song “Ho Hey” became a huge worldwide hit last 2012? Well, I still could but I never listened to it more than twice. I am a huge fan of Mumford & Sons and I think copying their signature sound wouldn’t do a band any good. …
Opeth Still Life CD
With “Still Life”, Opeth expanded on their musical musings by infusing a much more Progressive sound with Death Metal, Folk and minor Jazz infusions, throwing them in a blender and funneling the resulting substance through masterful musicianship and impeccable song writing. The end result is “Still Life”, Opeth’s fourth …

Breakaway CD (Kelly Clarkson)
I started watching American Idol only in Season Two so I didn’t have the chance to see Kelly Clarkson, Season One’s winner. Although I’ve heard her sing a few times before I bought her album, I wasn’t really a big fan of her’s. But I’ve heard many positive things …

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side III)

Massive Attack with Martina Topley Bird May 29 @ Malkin Bowl
