Hank Jones: If You Were Mine CD
This CD — Hank Jones: If You Were Mine — is for the people who have influenced the singer. If you read the liner jacket for nothing else, read the bit about Tony Bennett. I was absolutely laughing at loud at the notation there. It’s priceless.

Album : Hibria - Blind Ride (2011)
Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …

The Hunting Party, by Linkin Park
I’m just like any other Linkin Park fan; I loved Hybrid Theory and Meteora, I had mixed feelings for Minutes To Midnight, and the other two releases — the names escape me — are forgettable, although some of their songs were catchy enough to be memorable. The Hunting Party, …
Music video : Can’t Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus
Well, its official. Miley Cyrus has grown up. Which in terms of Disney divas means she got a push up bra, some hot pants and sexuality. Of course, while some Disney stars move on and get their wings, after seeing this video I guess Miley takes …
Bigfoot
Usually I’m good with words, but I’m finding it hard to describe just how amazing this band is. It’s a shame not many have heard of them, this is a band every rock-lover should hear! I guess you could say I’ve heard “Nothing Like This” before!

The Black Eyed Peas

GHS Electric Boomers guitar strings

Sublime - Right Back (Song)

The band Cannibal Corpse
