Arcade Fire - Black Mirror (Song)
Black Mirror is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second release, Neon Bible. For a fan who has only heard this band’s first release, Funeral, I will say that the overall sound on Black Mirror is going to strike you as very odd because of how …
The Drifters (music group)
Even though I have not been fond of soul and R&B music, I used to like the music of the old R&B and soul group “The Drifters” some years ago. They were actually a music group that released a lot of hits during the period of time from the …
Behind the Big Orange Curtain featurette
The Behind the Big Orange Curtain featurette shows the beginning of the Josh Groban Awake concert from Salt Lake City, Utah. I love seeing this behind the scenes look. I’m very interested by seeing how concepts come together and what goes in to making a production come …
Ennie Meenie by Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber
I love Fire in the dance floor, one of the songs that Sean Kingston made popular. Now he made another song that is good song for dancing. Ennie Meenie is the song that he collaborated with Justin Bieber and it is just amazing! I love it! I have to …
Never Let Go (song by, Positive)
I first heard Never Let Go on the local radio airwaves here and I was instantly hooked to it. It has a nice conscious reggae beat to it and of course you just can’t match or beat the voices of these reggae artists. At least it seems so when …
Slayer - Captor Of Sin (Song)
Captor Of Sin is a song by Slayer which appears on their EP Haunting The Chapel. The song starts off with a rapid solo right from the start of the track, and to be honest, this makes me very discouraged for the song that’s coming up to be honest. …
Elvis Presley: Elvis Double Features CD
As I write this, it’s Elvis Presley’s birthday. Had he lived longer, today would have been his 75th birthday. Death has not dimensioned his legacy or place on this earth, and that’s why there will always be new Elvis to buy. They’ll just keep repackaging the …
You Belong with Me a song by Taylor Swift
The song You belong with me comes from Taylor Swift, an American country music singer-songwriter. The song already tops the charts and made her won four Grammy Awards. This song is fun, even the video. I enjoy every single lyrics and I love the chorus. Taylor Swift is talented, …
Animal Collective - Slippi (Song)
Slippi is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate track on their fourth studio record, Here Comes The Indian. Opening up with a quick rhythm which sounds to be in sharp contrast to the previous three tracks on the record, I must say that the energy present …
Jefferson Airplane - Crown Of Creation
Overview - Crown Of Creation, Jefferson Airplane’s fourth effort, is primarily a pretty upbeat record with both energetic and melodic songs. The album features vocal performances by Slick, Balin, Kaukonen, and Kantner so it’s a very
nice mix whether they’re singing alone, which is good, or whether they’re singing together, …
Alligator- Tegan and Sara
Alligator is one of the singles off of Tegan and Sara’s latest album Sainthood, and one of my favourites off of this album. I am a huge Tegan and Sara fan, and their music rarely disappoints me. This album most definitely moves in a new direction from The Con, …
Jordin Sparks
Jordin SParks is one of the more recent popular singers who I find myself actually liking, which is strange since I don’t usually like much of modern popular music. I think there might be several reasons for this too as I think that she is one of the few …
Scars On Broadway - Babylon (Song)
Babylon is a song written by Scars On Broadway which appears on the track listing of their debut self-titled record. I will be very simple right now and say that I think this is the most developed track on the entire album and certainly has the best songwriting on …
Should’ve said no
should’ve said no by Taylor Swift is a beautiful song about how this guy cheated on his girl friend and he now realizes he should’ve said no. It just shows how we are all human and at times we do things spur of the moment with out thinking who …
Sifar Album
This is the second pop album by Lucky Ali. After the mega success of his debut album Sunoh, Ali came out with this one. It didn’t came anywhere close to the success of Sunoh, but still this album has got some really good collection of melodies. This is …
Cream - Goodbye
Overview - Goodbye, Cream’s final record, is an album split into three previously heard live tracks and three brand new tracks recorded in the studio. Both of these categories has something to offer that the other doesn’t and this concept is actually a pretty interesting one. If I were …

Animal Collective - Infant Dressing Table (Song)
Infant Dressing Table is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth release, Here Comes The Indian. The first thing I should mention about Infant Dressing Table is that it certainly takes its time to establish any type of rhythm. For the first few minutes of this …
Selena Gomez - Hands to Myself (Song)
I was a big fan of Selena Gomez when I was like 10-14 years old. I always saw her as Miley Cyrus’ rival during those days, coming from Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place.
I loved some of her songs when she was called “Selena Gomez and the Scene”; …
Ke$ha’s New CD-Animal
Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …

Katy Perry Firework Single
I am hooked on Katy Perry’s repertoire these days. What got me started was her hit single, California Girls. At that time, about a month ago, I had no idea if this girl had much wider capability. As I heard her other songs however, I began …
MGMT - Weekend Wars (Song)
Weekend Wars is the second track off of MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. When I first started listening to MGMT, Weekend Wars was one of the first tracks to really jump out at me. I will say that compared to Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars changes much more, and …
Faith Hill
We like country music and we like to go to live concerts whenever we can. We saw Faith Hill perform around three years ago at the MCI Center in Washington, DC. We don’t mind traveling to Washington, because it is only around forty five minutes from Baltimore. …
Muse - Uprising (Song)
Uprising, a very recent single released by Muse for their latest record The Resistance, has an extremely catchy vocal melody along with excellent lyrics and musical parts to go with it. Uprising starts out with a very space-like vibe and sound due to the synthesizer and the bass riff …

Metallica,Black Album
Before they were one of the greatest bands of all time, there was the black album.
Opening the album is the heavyly rotated “Enter Sandman”. This track begins with mouth crunching guitars and drums. Throughout the entire track you are wondering if the boogyman himself …
Album : Protest The Hero - Scurrilous (2011)
No band in the last few years has been the center of so much debate as Protest the Hero. On one side of the fence there is the haters that will not give them a fair go bacuae they have some ties with the metal-core landscape. But on the …
James Morrison - Wonderful World - Single
When it comes to music I know when I really like an act or artist because I buy an album pretty much based on one or two songs and then just seem to listen to these songs over and over again.
This was the case with James Morrison. His song …
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (Song)

Day of Baphomets is a song by the Mars Volta. It appears as the 7th track off of their 2006 album “Amputechture”. The Mars Volta are noted to be a very avant-garde and experimental band. With their odd time signatures, offbeat syncopation’s and intellectual lyrics make each song an …
Taylor Swift Debut Album
Taylor Swift is truly a good singer-songwriter. I really love her debut album which really presents wonderful music with such a nice composition, arrangement and lyrics.

Billy Idol - Billy Idol (Album)
Fresh out of Generation X, Billy Idol certainly hit the ground running with his eponymous solo debut. While I wouldn’t consider it his masterpiece (that would be his follow-up tour de force Rebel Yell), there are still a lot of great songs here which I still enjoy as immensely …
Bob Dylan - The Man In Me (Song)
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 …

The Beatles - Rubber Soul (Side I)
Overview —“ Side I of Rubber Soul, The Beatles’ sixth studio album, definitely showcases quite a bit of development as songwriters, from both Lennon and McCartney, and well even Harrison I suppose. McCartney’s contributions to this side of the record seemed as if they’d be lighthearted at first, just …
Syd Barrett - Gigolo Aunt (Song)
Gigolo Aunt is a song by Syd Barrett which appears on his second solo record, Barrett. Gigolo Aunt starts out with a very brief guitar riff before leading into the main rhythm and part of the song which is led by a grooving bass line along with a nice …
Album : Deicide - To Hell With God (2011)
My journey to discovering the all-out death metal assault that is DEICIDE was a long and winding one.. I’ll cut it short and just say that when i was pretty young i was introduced to AC/DC, and from there was always searching for the next heaviest thing and went …
MFEO by Kavana
MFEO by Kavana is very catchy and I used to listen to this particular track over and over again after I came back from school.
I even bought Kavana’s single of MFEO. Yes, such was my craziness during those times and I would smile whenever I think about …
The Ring (Movie)
This movie, at the time, was the scariest movie I had ever seen, but I was also like twelve years old when I watched it. I have watched it again since then and I realize how stupid it really is. Maybe the second time just isn’t as scary, but …

Cream - Disraeli Gears
Overview - Disraeli Gears, Cream’s second album, is a great musical album and has strong vocal performances as well in just about every track on here. I will say that most of the record is more laid back and mellow but they’re are still some great energetic tracks on …
