“Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone
Performer: Cinderella
I can officially add “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone” performed by Cinderella as my favorite take me back song. As I was listening to “Nobody’s Fool”, there was a sidebar of other videos posted by users; I kept …

I remember this seemed odd for a while, that Neil Diamond would do a holiday album since he’s Jewish. There was talk that since Barbra Streisand was doing another one, it somehow was okay for him to do one. I don’t recall the specifics much now, but …

Overview - Desire, Bob Dylan’s seventeenth studio album, features a lot of storytelling lyrics and even biographical lyrics, as heard on Hurricane and on Joey. To be honest, most of these tracks just strike me as solid but there are also some tracks which I personally think are good …

I’m a person who has tended to gravitate to mostly different kinds of rock and electronic music ever since I was a teenager. However, that does not and has never stopped me from exploring other genres of music and having other favourite artistes from those same genres. Nevertheless, it …

Hope is a song by Sublime and the nineteenth song on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. No pun intended, I will admit that after listening to the preceding track on the record, Date Rape, I was left feeling pretty hopeful for the remainder of the tracks to …

Sometimes, the only way to make a music video into anything that is remotely interesting is to incorporate a concept from a cool movie into it, even if that means making the music video itself a …

I learned about Leona Lewis in the middle of 2008. The song of her, Bleeding Love was popular in our country during that time. I never thought that she is the one who won in the television show called The X Factor. Well, based on her voice she deserves …

Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …

The Gaslight Anthem is a punk rock band from New Jersey. “The 59 Sound” is there second album less than two years, but it seems like they have been working on this forever. They are quoted as saying that Bruce Springsteen is one of their main influences …

The song “So what” by the artist Pink is so awesome. I am planning to purchase it from iTunes because it would be a great song to jog. It gives you a slow start but gains intensity throughout the song. The beat is infectious! I can …

In my top five of Patrick Swayze films is City of Joy, the story of a suicidal young doctor (okay, they edited the suicidal part out of the released film, but that’s who he was) who travels to India and ends up being rejuvenated. It’s a marvelous film …

This is one the most appealing attitude song from Michael Jackson’s ( MJ) Album BAD. Michael Jackson has had got everything right in this one. MJ is known for his songs against apartheid, and he has consistently given an artistic expression to his bitter experience(s) through songs like …

I lucked up on Ebay and found this electric acoustic guitar for $49. Imagine how shocked I was at seeing this price on a piece of musical equipment. Not only that, the guitar came with a mini electric amplifier. Now, here’s the catch: the shipping …

Violent Pacification is a cover performed and recorded by Slayer for their album Undisputed Attitude. The song starts off with a very rapid bass line played by Araya, with a pretty bad tone I may add, with some guitars coming in and out to reinforce the rhythm. I will …

Remember when the Mumford-constructed song “Ho Hey” became a huge worldwide hit last 2012? Well, I still could but I never listened to it more than twice. I am a huge fan of Mumford & Sons and I think copying their signature sound wouldn’t do a band any good. …

“Not the Half Has Been Told” CD by Monica McCoy is one music album that uplifts my soul and spirit. The selections are filled with blessings! Each time I’d hear this music album it made me think that singing songs for Jesus is a worshipping experience. It is not …

Shaved Gorilla is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their third record, Telepathic Suicide. Opening up with a sampling of what sounds like a classic Disney film, Shaved Gorilla opens up with a very lighthearted mood and innocent sound. Once this opening sampling ends, a moderately …

This album is a huge disappointment. I appreciate so many Cypress Hill records that I still, to this day, can’t believe that the band who recorded the groundbreaking rap albums in the early 1990s, the band that recorded Cypress Hill IV, Skull and Bones and Stoned Raiders, the marvelous …

I just saw it in Youtube today, the premiere of We are the World 2010 remake. This was the new remake of the 25-year old song originally written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Riche for the famine in Africa. I remember I was just 5 years old when they …

I have heard from the radio that Leona Lewis is a winner of a show in Europe, I think in United Kingdom. If I am not mistaked, she won that ‘X-Factor’ show. After making that hit song ‘Bleeding Love’, I think the song ‘Here I Am’ as another great …

This is probably the best album I have heard in a long time. It is pretty rare that I buy full albums anymore, since getting single songs is so much less expensive and makes my itunes playlist a whole lot less messy. But I had to get the …

Lil Wayne’s Criticly acclaimed “The Carter 3″ is his most anticipated album yet, with featured guest such as Jay-Z, T-Pain, Babyface, Robin Thicke, Bobby Valentino, Fabolous, Juelz Santana, and more it will be a valuble asset to any hip-hoper’s Music Collection. The CD contains a variety of hip-hop and …

Overview - Meddle, Pink Floyd’s fifth effort, is a record that I’d have to say is pretty much average at best. The record starts very strong and ends very strong, but the work in between is honestly just mediocre in my opinion. It isn’t that the songs are bad, …

I actually like this album a lot. As far as Slipknot is concerned, I wasn’t that very impressed by the album that was called Volume 3 The Subliminal Verses. I thought that that music was not very effective on that album. On All Hope Is Gone Slipknot are complete …

Since her first single Get the Party Started, I started to become a huge fan of Pink. I love her style, her body, attitude and performance. Actually of her songs are worth listening and even her videos are worth watching. Just like this song I am about to review …

GG Allin’s second to last release and his last punk album before his death, “Brutality and Bloodshed For All” comes up as one of his best. Now working with his band The Murder Junkies, GG Allin came through with one of the biggest highlights of his discography. The album …

Day N Nite (Nightmare ) is a song by Kid Cudi which appears on his debut record Man ON the Moon: The End Of Day. Opening up with a light synthesized intro along with Kid Cudi doing a little bit of vocal work to establish a rhythm, the first …

In 1997, Michael O Domhnaill and Windham Hill Records produced “Celtic Christmas III: A Windham Hill Sampler.” The compilation includes twelve favorites from previous Celtic Christmas compositions, such as “The Wexford Carol,” “Circle of Joy,” “A Raven in the Snow,” and “Coinnle an Linoh Losa.” The soothing melodies and …

Skate Park is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their 2011 record, Knife Man. Opening up with a brooding atmosphere created by the drums, the song quickly transitions into an actual riff which I actually think sound’s pretty interesting. Thus far, the guitar riff is interesting, …

This is a review for GHS Electric Boomers guitar strings. These have been around since 1964 and have been a standard in the industry. The great thing about these is the price and consistency of the strings. I’ve been through every brand of string you could imagine and I’m …

I had spent nearly 5 hours of tireless internet research before settling on the Tycoon Percussion Ritmo Bongos for my first personal set of hand drums. I had never owned a set of hand drums before, but had used various types of drums (all different sizes, uses, and sounds) …

I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …

The Eagles Of Death Metal are a somewhat newer band that caught my attention. Being a Queens of The Stone Age fan, I really found this band to be quite different but at the same time very intriguing. It’s kind of hard to describe, it just feels… sleazy when …

Octopus is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his first solo record, The Madcap Laughs. Octopus opens up with an acoustic guitar played in a pretty lighthearted manner which gives way to Barrett’s vocal delivery which is as equally lighthearted. As most people who have heard Syd …

My husband gave me this perfume as his present last Christmas. I have never tried this perfume before until he gave one to me. Its scent is not something that I will get addicted too (unlike the J’Adore which scent is very addictive, ahhhh!). Its alright, but …

The Deftones released their fourth album the self titled Deftones, in May of 2003, the album was produced by Terry Date and The Deftones. Hexagram is the band in their classic style, the perfect mix of loud and mellow. Needles And Pins has a darker feel that reminds me …

Jay-Z
“Izzo (H.O.V.A.)”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z delivers his first single and music video, “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)”, from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. Once again, Jay-Z samples “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5, the last time he did that was with “I Just Wanna Luv U (Give It 2 Me)” …

Revelations is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Piece Of Mind. The track starts off with a moderately-paced riff which has a nice and heavy sound and allows room for an interesting bass fill by Harris in between the riff as well. The riff for …

This Fender value pack includes a shoulder strap, an electric tuner, extra set of strings, a string winder, a soft guitar case, an instructional DVD, and of course, a Fender Dreadnought acoustic guitar.
First off, I was skeptical of the quality of the guitar, but the solid spruce top gives …

Imagine Frank Sinatra being reborn as a college boy in the 21st century, and you will have a fair picture of what singer Michael Buble is all about. I think he has a French last name, although he was born in Burnaby, Canada instead of the Quebecois region …

You’re Gonna Quit Me is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar pattern which doesn’t exactly carry any major feel to it, but it seems to have somewhat of a folk …

I first heard about the group “A Perfect Circle” in my final years of high school. At that time I didn’t consider them as my favorite band, or even one of my favorites. However, I did love the few songs I heard from them which as the time …

If “4 Minutes” is any indication of how the new Madonna CD is going to sound, I think I’ll pass. While this song, produced and sung by Timbaland, Madonna and Justin Timberlake, has a few catchy beats, it can’t be compared to any of the artists earlier hits. The …

Bleeding Heart is a cover done by Jimi Hendrix which is on his most recent posthumous album, Valleys Of Neptune. The track certainly has a definitive blues-rock rhythm and feel to it, like a lot of songs which Hendrix worked with. I have to say that I love the …

The Ceiling Is Bendin’ is a song by the Flaming Lips and the sixth song on their album Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a drum and bass part which fades in and out repeatedly, Coyne comes in with the vocals of the track which thankfully has some character …

Lily Of The West is a traditional song which is performed and recorded by Bob Dylan for his album entitled Dylan. The track starts off with an acoustic guitar strumming a chord pattern along with a steady bass line and drum pattern providing the main rhythm of the track …

Artist: Destiny’s Child
Video: Bug a Boo
Album: The Writings On The Wall
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Darren Grant
Wow, um, was Destiny’s Child second album, “The Writings On The Wall”, mostly centered around male-bashing in general? Geez, first “Bills, Bills, Bills” and then this came out. And I thought TLC’s “No Scrubs” had …

One of Spice Girls song that I love as well would be Viva Forever. It has a certain Italian and Spanish-like sounding quality and Viva Forever by Spice Girls will always be on my mind whenever I have memories of the Spice Girls’ brand of music and wanting to …

3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds is a track by Jefferson airplane which is on their second album, Surrealistic Pillow. This track opens up with a very brief drum introduction before the guitars come in and are soon followed by Marty Balin and Grace Slick on vocals. For …

Fahrenheit is one of the best albums owned by Toto. At least, it is my opinion, and I’m sure with many people who have the same opinion. Composition of sweet song and very melodic, even though I know that is very difficult to play songs that have Toto’s tempo …
