I love this song so much that I want it played at my wedding. And that’s a pretty huge thing to say about a song. When I first looked at the title, I thought it was going to be about a man saying to another man that he had …
Tired of Dream Theater? Listen to 1st Chapter by Circus Maximus
I’m a progressive music lover and a long time fan of Dream Theater. But suddenly it occurred to me that I was simply not enjoying their music anymore. I started hauling the web for similar artists to Dream Theater. Some came up too metal, others too technical, and others …
“Vampire Weekend” by Vampire Weekend
I recently discovered a band by the name of Vampire Weekend. This band’s name may sound strange, but do not let that distract you from the fact that their music is wonderful. They have such a different sound than every other band that is currently on my iPod. There …
Classic Rock Band The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are old. Some people say they were far too old to be playing at the Super Bowl a few years back. I say leave them alone. They have earned the right to age, they have put in their time as young people, but their music lives …

Led Zeppelin: I
I have to say, this is my favorite debut album from any band I’ve ever listened to. Led Zeppelin’s self titled debut album really cements the band as the premier hard rock band of the time.
Released at the beginning of 1969, this album quickly rose to fame on British …
Willie Nelson (singer)

The Flaming Lips - Can’t Stop The Spring (Song)

Hype Magazine
I must admit, the one thing that drew me to buying this magazine in the beginning, was the notion of getting a —˜free’ cover Compact Disc at a price equivalent to just under one US Dollar, at the time (around 2006).
I turned out to be a very good buy …
Shure Wireless PG24 wireless microphone

One More Drink by Ludacris featuring T-Pain
One More Drink is from Ludacris’ latest 2008 album Theater of the Mind. It has a very different sound from usual Ludacris songs, but it is my absolute favorite song of his so far. The blend of a claps and beats to dreamy bells is
stunning. This makes the song …

Carrie Underwood “Last Name”
I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …

“Play” (1999 Moby Album)
I have known Moby as a well respected electronica musician who has been in the music business since the early nineties. His music climax, in my opinion, was this very album, “Play” (1999). (In fact, this album saved his career!) I have listened to this album since about 2005 …
