Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …

As a longtime fan of progressive/experimental music, I often gravitate towards sound patterns that seem to buck the norm, and stand out as truly not heard in mainstream music. Closure in Moscow usually does a pretty decent job of creating songs that sound as though they were never meant …

I have come to terms with the fact that most song writers lose their edge as they get older, and create more and more boring music. I guess it is just a fact of aging that people calm down and get more settled into a decent lifestyle, then decide …

I’m not sure why I have the Alan Jackson: When Somebody Loves You CD. I don’t remember buying it, but I just found it, still in its wrapping to be truthful, so however I got it, I’ve never listened to it until this evening. Very strange to …
