Last Night by Az Yet
Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

First Act Electric Guitar (ME300)
My first electric guitar was the First Act guitar, a Double Cutaway Electric ME300, most often found in local Walmart stores, and online. This guitar has a pretty full sound for a rather inexpensive piece of musical equipment. Their prices range from around $60 all the …
The Flaming Lips - Thanks To You (Song)
Thanks To You is a song by The Flaming Lips and the eighth song on their second effort, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a clean guitar part, I’m slightly reminded of a tone Led Zeppelin would come up with on one of their earlier records until the vocals …
Album : Ted Russell Kamp - Get Back To The Land (201)

Maybe it’s because i …

Vampire Weekend : Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend, a new, up-and-coming Indie-Rock band has swept the nation with its “soft-rock.” Its latest album titled Mansard Roof is, in my opinion, excellent. Certain songs, (Campus, Walcott) are slightly repetitive, but offer great sound. All songs were recorded in very high quality. The band offers high-quality, good …
Only Girl (In the World)- Rihanna
Rihanna has always been very bold throughout her music career but this just puts the icing on the cake. This song shows women can be powerful too, she puts a huge commanding vocal on throughout the whole song. She sells the point she is trying to make with this …
Let Go (Avril Lavigne)
I bought Let Go because of the popular songs “Complicated” and “I’m With You”. I didn’t really know anything about Avril Lavigne at the time. But I’m glad that I bought her CD because it’s great. It’s actually one of my most played CDs. Most of her songs grow …
The Downward Spiral, 1994 Album by Nine Inch Nails

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side IV)
Overview - Although Side IV of The Wall isn’t as good as side III, it still has some very good songs on it and wraps up the story behind this album very well in the end. In fact I’d have to say that this side has two of my …
The Beatles - Beatles For Sale
Overview - Beatles For Sale, the Beatles’ fourth effort, is just packed with fourteen songs, both covers and originals, of excellent vocal performances, very natural flowing songs, and a steady energy throughout all the tracks.

Green Day - Time Of Your Life (Music Video)

Martin Garrix (Musician)
I really wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of the musician Martin Garrix. To be honest, up until fairly recently I only knew two songs by him and liked one of the two. However, after all these years I still sincerely hope that he has as much potential as I …

Jeremy - Pearl Jam

Animal Collective - Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished (Album)
Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished is the debut record from Animal Collective.

Although the album does have some tracks on it which I personally …
Robert Fuller: Am Fub der blauren Berge CD

Three Music Video by Britney Spears
It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Britney Spears. I think she is an extremely talented performer who is misunderstood by so many people. Her recent video for the hit song “Three” ranks pretty high up there in my favorite Britney Spears music video. For …
Breakdown by Jack Johnson

Metallica - My Friend Of Misery (Song)
I’m aware that I’ve been stating that many of the songs on The Black Album seem to be driven much more by Hetfield’s voice rather than the music itself, but I believe My Friend Of Misery is an exception to this. Whereas many of the previous tracks on this …
Sean Paul
“Sean Paul” is a Jamaican dancehall deejay who is now also very popular on the international hip hop scene. I have noticed that many foreigners seem to think that the music which he does is hip hop, however, that is not true as in Jamaica a form of music …
