Radiohead - Just (Song)
Just is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second album, The Bends. The track opens up briefly with an acoustic guitar pattern which continues playing despite a lead guitar part coming in over it which creates an interesting sound. I must say that I wished Radiohead would …
“Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, And Junkies” by GG Allin (LP, 1988)
By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …
Epica’s Song Chasing The Dragon
Welcome angelic voice to my melancholy ears. Any Gothic Metal or Symphonic Metal fan is usually in search for this exact concoction. The song, Chasing the Dragon by Epica starts about being one of the sweetest serenades or lullabies ever produced by Epica’s …

System Of A Down - Lost In Hollywood (Song)
Lost In Hollywood, the final track of the first half of System Of A Down’s double record, Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is probably the track on this half of the record which I would consider to be the most powerful. What’s particularly significant about this track is that it really is Daron …
Type O Negative October Rust CD
Type O Negative’s brand of music has always been hard to digest for listeners like me and modern rock radio and the band’s October Rust CD is not helping to solve the problem at all. Not only the album will alienate the band further from mainstream music but might …
Deeper Than The Holler
There is just something about country music and the way it tells a story that does not compare with any other type of music. One of my favorite music artist is Randy Travis. His song “Deeper Than the Holler” is an example of a great country love ballad. It …
Nine Inch Nails - We’re In This Together (Song)

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert
When I first listened to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, I really thought that I am reading to a novel or something. There is a certain kind of story to this CD album that I like so much. Her voice is soft and crooning and she can even …
Kunst, 2013 Album by KMFDM
I think that this album is one of the albums by KMFDM that you can listen to but I wouldn’t describe it in any ways as essential. This band is releasing an album every two years, and I’ve always thought that there might be the danger of them simply …
All That You Cant Leave Behind 2000 Album by U2
Well, I remember how I bought this album for sure. I was on a special occasion, visiting the capital city with my mom. I was about 12 years old, and the special occasion was to buy a new sound system, the sound system I had been giving no life …
Dean Boca 12 String Electric Guitar
The Dean Boca 12 String Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar (wow that’s a long name) is my favorite 12 string guitar, after the Rickenbacker. I ordered it online from Musicians Friend. A lot of 12 strings have a nice sound but lack that classic 60’s quality that is …
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 …

Beyonce Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) Video

Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

Kenny Chesney sings this song called You Save Me. It is about how his wife or girl friend saves him from getting into more and more trouble. It kinds of relates to the old saying that behind every good man there is a great woman somewhere pushing him along …

Doctor Who Series 1 Sondtrack (2005)
Like many other people I was really excited about the return of Doctor who in 2005, and very much the same every time that it has been back on our screens in the past 4 years. What I loved even more was the music that you could hear during …

Music Video of “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga

Michael Jackson’s “Michael”
Michael Jackson’s latest posthumously released album entitled “Michael”, has been out for nearly four months now. As an avid fan of MJ and his music, I’m rather pleased with the results.

Phoenix’s album - Amadeus
When I first heard Phoenix’s new songs off of ‘Amadeus’ I found it to be absolutely amazing. My favorite tracks off it would have to be ‘Fences, and 1901′ the most popular tracks indeed. Although I found that after thorough listening, almost every song on the album began to …
Defiance by James Newton Howard - Soundtrack
The right kind of music soundtrack is crucial for a particular type of movie and for that, Defiance by James Newton Howard works for me. I listened to the songs inside and I certainly think it matched the concept of the movie, Defiance. On some circumstances, even if …
