I purchased an MP3 download of Twila Paris’s Sing Me A Lullaby. I first heard this song in one Mother’s Day Presentation on TV. It was sang by Lea Salonga. No exaggeration but as I was listening I could not helped but be moved. The lyrics of the …

New, New Minglewood Blues is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their self-titled debut record. This track is a cover but it sounds as if The Dead certainly add their own character and style to this track. The song opens up with a lighthearted moving guitar …

My All Cover Version by Siti Nurhaliza is awesome, and I’ve listened to her singing this cover version from Mariah Carey before. I really love it, and Siti sang using her own style of voice range and the sound is very cheery and awesome sounding.
For those of …

Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. In the album Roads to the North, Panopticon not only brings in your typical instruments (guitars, drums and vocals) that you find in a rock/metal …

My favorite genre of music is alternative, and one of my most favorite bands ever is Coldplay. Their songs are often my soundtracks to the things I do everyday. I have a favorite Coldplay song for when I feel sad, when I’m running, when I’m driving, before …

Lil’ Kim ft. Puff Daddy
“No Time”
Hardcore
Atlantic/Bad Boy
In the booming years of Puff Daddy’s record label, Bad Boy Records, he was still putting his marketing niche together and churning out hits together at the same time as he continuously found the new talent and signed them up. By 1996, they …

Please Come To Boston is such a neat song but I did not realize that David Allan Coe sings it until I was surfing the internet the other day and stumbled across it. This song kind of reminds me of my husband. You see he is always wanting to …

U2 is an Irish rock band and I decided I would give one of their Cd’s “How to dismantle and atomic bomb” a listen since I haven’t listened it for a while and I am in the mood to hear some of their music. One step closer is one …

Out of all the Star Trek movie soundtracks, I consider this to be my favorite one with perhaps the only exception being Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The reason I enjoy this soundtrack so very much is because much of the music is incredibly rich and well crafted. …

Pilot Can At The Queer Of God is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although the opening riff of the track has a surprisingly heavy feel to it, Coyne surprisingly comes in with a vocal delivery which works with …

In Another Land is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request As with most of this record, the sound on this track is primarily very psychedelic which is a sound that I personally love. The track opens up with a harpsichord …

I am a huge fan of and specialist in KMFDM music. I have been listening to them for a very long time. I find their music very original, very special and characteristic to them. They created their own style, and they follow by it. But, on this album, this …

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 …

Overview —“ The Unforgiven II, Metallica’s second part of The Unforgiven trilogy, continues on in the same dark approach and atmosphere that The Unforgiven introduced. The Unforgiven II continues with the story of the same child who was in The Unforgiven I but it takes place in between the …

Harmonies are top notch as always on The Osmonds: Christmas Memories. This CD is a collection of songs as performed by The Osmonds, which this time around equals Merrill, Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy. It doesn’t matter the combination of Osmonds, the harmonies are always there. I …

Rihanna’s 7th album to date, she gifts us with the title “Unapologetic”. Although there’s no track in the album under the same title, I believe the theme is based around that title. Following the hype and promotion of this album, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. I …

All Along The Watchtower is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on John Wesley Harding. All Along The Watchtower has ended up becoming quite a well known track and extremely popular but not so much because of Dylan but more because of Hendrix’s iconic cover of the track. …

Parabol is a song by Tool which appears on their album Lateralus. I’m not extremely familiar with Tool’s music but I’ve been trying lately to see how they are so we’ll see how this goes. The track starts off with what sounds to me to be a bass playing …

First and foremost, I have to admit that I have not listened to this CD as much as I have the previous two. It is not because it’s bad. It’s just not my taste in music.
I will say that the music does match the much darker tone …

Although I’m a techie, at least for the Boomer Generation, I don’t always have to the have the best and newest. I don’t buy every computer game or gizmo that comes along. I don’t have an Ipod and I don’t carry a cell phone. I can do …

U2 is an Irish rock band and I decided to pull out one of their Cd’s and give it s a listen as I haven’t listened to this band in a while. I decided to listen to their album entitled “How to dismantle an atomic bomb” and one of …

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 …

The song, Love Song by Sara Bareilles is very catchy, very groovy and moving. It gives me an image of a very nice sunshiny day full of positive aspects of life. ‘To write a love song..today..’. I really love this and I could be listening this to …

Love him or hate him, Steve Austin knows how to make music. And when it comes to releasing the ninth and hopefully not last record, Pain is Warning, I am reminded on how much of a creative genius Steve Austin can be. Think of Austin as an underground music …

Psycho is a track by System Of A Down which appears on their second record, Toxicity. The track does a good job of establishing a very dark atmosphere in the beginning of the song due to a hypnotizing simple bass rhythm which is soon accompanied by a characteristic guitar …

Overview —“ Melissa, the debut album released by Mercyful Fate, is an album that I actually got into because of Metallica. For those of you who don’t know, Metallica released a cover album entitled Garage Inc. which featured a song called Mercyful Fate which turned out to really just …

Foggy Notion is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their record VU. The track starts off with all of the instruments simultaneously in a rhythm which works very nicely to be honest and has a very good flow which seems to provide good ground for Reed …

Saturday’s Warrior, just an inspiration play that is beyond words, has many memorable songs from it, all from the hands of lyricist Doug Stewart and Lex De Azevedo, who did the music while also serving as the play’s producer. My third favorite song from this play is a …

Disintegration/Free Money is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Undisputed Attitude. Like the rest of this record, this song is a cover of a punk band known as Verbal Abuse. To be fair, I didn’t really like this record very much and didn’t think Slayer did …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

I really like air supply’s music. I have heard “I Can’t let go” before but I did not know who sang that song. Until one time a friend of ours sang this song. I was really amazed because of the lyrics it gives. The song is really beautiful. Since …

When I was much younger, one of my favourite singers was the woman Tina Turner. These days, I still appreciate her and her music, but my appreciation just is not as strong as it was back in the day.
There were several things I had admired about this performer …

Released August 25, 1975 Born to Run was Springsteen’s third album and was what could be argued his “make or break” album. His two previous albums, “Greetings from Asbury Park N.J” and “The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle” had brought him critical acclaim and his local …

Led Zeppelin IV is the band’s most popular effort to date.With the success of “Stairway To Heaven”, the band was immortalized as true pioneers of popular music.I love every song on this album and consider it a testament of their artistic innovation.Everyone I know considers this band a major …

Power Quest have always been a band that i am constantly frustrated with. They always hinted at greatness, but for some reason were never really able to put it all together when needed the most. I’m happy to report though that with this new album Blood Alliance, all the …

When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

Untitled is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate track on their second release, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Something I should point out about this song is that it’s an instrumental, but ever since listening to The Fool, another instrumental earlier on this record, …

“Far Behind” is quite possibly Candlebox’s biggest single. In fact, it is the only song I actually know by them off hand anyways. The song reached the Billboard Top 20 in July of 1993 but wasn’t officially released as a single until 1994. The song appears on their self …

I am a HUGE fan of Carlene Carter! She is a country singer, and being the daughter of June Carter of the legendary country band The Carter Family, you have no choice but to expect EPIC musical masterpieces and heartfelt lyrics from this lady’s mouth, and she does NOT …

The limits a man would go for a woman is incredible these days. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a man who would do anything for them? The man in this song is so dedicated to his woman that he would go bankrupt for her, quit a job so …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Kitty Kat”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Melina and Beyonce
“Kitty Kat” is not really an official Beyonce music video per-se, it is rather a mini music video of sorts that serves as a one minute introduction to Beyonce’s eighth and final “B-Day” music video titled “Green Light”, so “Kitty Kat” …

This album is the complete opposite of the previous „Wish you Were Here”. When I first listened to it, I was shocked by the huge leap the band made from that album. If WYWH was about emotions, intimacy, and empathy, „Animals” is a strikingly bleak and politic statement, in …

The Man In Me is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record New Morning. This song is actually pretty well known not so much because the album was good, as it wasn’t, but because it’s the opening song for the film The Big Lebowski. As a …

Cheap Trick is a band that has been around since a few years before I was born yet they seem to reinvent themselves just enough to stay around.
They have quite a few decent newer songs but, when I listen to them, I still prefer the classics like “I want …

Hole was a mostly female hard rock band that was popular in the mid to late nineties to early 2000s. It contains one of my favourite female hard rock singers, Courtney Love, who acted as the vocalist for Hole.
I am not sure if the reason the band is …

One of Velvet Revolvers biggest hits of all time is the song Slither. It is off their debut album Contraband. I really like the raw feel to this song. It starts off with sort of a pick scratching by Slash with a really cool bass line by Duff …

Dig A Pony is a song by The Beatles which appears on their final studio record, Let It Be. Dig A Pony starts off with sort of an awkward beginning before getting into the main riff of the song which isn’t bad at all. Lennon soon comes in with …

If you are a fan of blues music like I am, than you will find the cd “American Made World Played” by Les Paul and a wonderful lineup of other musicians as awesome as I do. I found this gem quite by accident, and it remains my all-time
favourite blues CD. …

One Way by Hillsong is another praise and worship song that has become really famous because of its wonderful message (lyrics) and accompaniment. The song is upbeat, very unlikely for a music or song that talks about Jesus, or God himself. Well this song is very unique in itself …
