Bugera 333XL 120W tube head
This thing is a beast plan and simple. More then enough power to rattle dishes in the china cabinet.

They were …

Today I stay awake mid-afternoon just …
Busta Rhymes - The Body Rock (song)
“The Body Rock” appears off of Busta Rhymes album When Disaster Strikes. It is the 17th track off of the absolute stellar album, often criticized as being his best. This is kind of crazy considering that there are 19 tracks all together. It’s nearly impossible to release such a …

CD Hoobastank

Animal Collective - Cobwebs (Song)
Cobwebs is a song by Animal Collective and the third track on their 2008 EP, Water Curses. Opening up with a random collection of sounds, Tare joins in the mix and the song seems to try to create a hypnotizing atmosphere which works nicely to some extent. Although I …
Ill Nino-Revolution/Revolucion

Cannibal Corpse
Cannibal Corpse is a band in the ‘Death Metal’ genre. However I personally wouldn’t call them a band at all. I physically and mentally DESPISE them in any ways possible, and anyone who considers grunting an art form of singing seriously needs to open their eyes into the real …
