Music Reviews
Poncho and Lefty
If you were to ask me about a love ballad that reminds me of an old western movie I’d have to say it would Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson. This song is about a couple of friends that robbed a bank and then became outlaws running from the …
Fidelity Music Video By Regina Spektor
Let me first preface this by saying that Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” is my favorite music video of all time. Regina Spektor is one of the most adorable recording artists of this generation. She has a voice like no other. In my opinion, she is one of the most talented …
Kunst, 2013 Album by KMFDM
I think that this album is one of the albums by KMFDM that you can listen to but I wouldn’t describe it in any ways as essential. This band is releasing an album every two years, and I’ve always thought that there might be the danger of them simply …
Best of Randy Crawford
I believe in getting the compilations of the individual albums from the artists, they are better than the individual albums. The best assortments come with the “Best Of” series. Now this collection has the very well known tracks from Randy Crawford from Give Me The Night to Everything Must …
Birdy (singer)
I was introduced to the music of the English singer Birdy by one of my closest friends. To be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled with her music when I first listened to a number of her songs since I thought that she was unbelievably boring, especially after listening to …
Paparazzi by Lady Gaga
I was watching the MTV VMAs this year and finally got a chance to see Lady Gaga show what she’s working with (so to speak.) Anyway, I realized that she has a lot more talent that I first thought she did. She performed “Paparazzi”—”a song about the …
The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (CD)
If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …
We Believe (Single)- David Cook
This is one of my theme songs at the moment. This song is contagious and once you hear it, it is stuck in your head for quite a while. I could care less because this song represents incredible music that is hard to get the words to describe. I …
Grateful Dead Top 10 Songs
While skimming through this website I came across a couple of reviews of the Top 10 Best Grateful Dead Songs of all time. Even though there is truly no right top 10 list, I was inspired to right this after seeing someone post the track list from Skeletons …
Jewel - Foolish Game
Foolish game is the most my favorite song from Jewel. Though this song is not become hits anymore but it could be my soundtrack of my life ever.
This song is slow and can categorize in ballad song. The lyrics is tell about a girl who think that her boyfriend …

Overview - Killers, the second album by Iron maiden and last to feature Paul Di’Anno, expands on some of the more technical sides that they introduced on their self titled debut album and also incorporates more use of harmony, a crucial aspect of their music that Maiden became known …
Mariah Carey E=MC2 [squared]
Mariah Carey’s latest, E=MC2 album is packed with songs which should be smashing hits in the future. E=MC2 reached number one, and has so far spawned four hits, which includes the number one single, touch my body, the summer smash I’ll be loving you long time featuring T.I, the …
The Doors - You’re Lost Little Girl (Song)
You’re Lost Little Girl is a song by The Doors which appears on their album Strange Days. The song opens up with an eerie bass rhythm before a guitar pattern along with a drum rhythm also come in. Jim Morrison comes in with the vocals pretty quickly and …
Get right of Jennifer Lopez’s Music Video
Why Jennifer Lopez has gone in producing this video with only her as the star, I do not know. What I can tell, is that she could have made more sales with this awesome track (as it really has some interesting new beats!) if she would have featured other …
The Eternal, 2009 Album by Sonic Youth
This album by Sonic Youth aroused a mixed reaction in me. On the one hand and I thought that this album could have been a lot better. On the other hand it still has a number of very good songs and some features, some very impressive features, which were …
MGMT - Future Reflections (Song)
Future Reflections is the final song of MGMT’s second record, Oracular Spectacular. I will admit that when I first heard this song, I didn’t really like it, but it has grown on me since then. Opening in an energetic fashion before transitioning into a far more melodic section, the …
Country Music Singer Martina McBride
Female country music singer, Martina McBride is one of my favorite singers. She has a habit of singing songs that are about strong women rather than the whiny songs that most country singers have a tendency to sing. Her music makes women feel as though they have the power …
Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB MP3 Player
About 3 years ago I wanted an mp3 player. I chose to get the Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB MP3 Player in a stylish pink color. This product caught my eye mainly because of its low price of only $39.99 at the time I bought it online. …
Radiohead - Planet Telex (Song)
Planet Telex is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second album, The Bends. Opening up with some noise effects, the normal instrumentation comes in quickly enough but also has an effect over it which gives it a delayed and reverberated type of sound. Yorke’s vocals come into …
The Beatles - Come Together (Song)
Come Together would have to be one of the most calming and relaxing Beatles songs which I’ve ever listened to. Driven by Lennon’s vocal delivery which just mixes right in perfectly with the music under him, Come Together is the opening track of Abbey Road and one of the …
Blondie band
I am a twenty one year old who loves listening to nearly every type of modern music including different types of metal. When I was younger though, the choice of music I liked listening to was more narrow, and oldies was not usually a part of it. Nevertheless, for …
Smokes & Mirrors, Lifehouse (Album)
Before i listened to this album i had a totally different perception of Lifehouse. I liked a few of their songs but nothing really stood out to me. This album is sensational, all the songs are inspiring in it and opens your eyes to everything you can achieve. The …
She’s like the wind by Lumidee
She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …
Aaliyah - Aaliyah Album
The self titled album named Aaliyah by Aaliyah was released to the public in July of 2001. Much anticipated, it came out and it didn’t disappoint me in the least. Today, you can still hear her wonderful music still being aired on the airwaves all over the world. Listed …
Pink Floyd - The Trial (Song)
The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …
CRaig David
I haven’t seen Craig David for a while since his last singles that made it to the charts. I have thought about him when a saw a huge billboard of him plastered in the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge in Makati Metro Manila. Craig david used to release quite a number of …

Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia

Slash-Watch This (song)
Watch this! is an amazing rock instrumental by Slash off of his newest Solo release. This song also features Dave Grohl on Drums. In the beginning of the track he can be heard yelling Watch this before the intro riff comes in hence the name Watch This!. The …
Green Day - 21 Guns (Song)

Bring Me the Horizon (Rock Band)
I can’t remember exactly how I found out about the band Bring Me the Horizon, but what I do know was that it was a little after their song “Throne” had been released in 2015. Since then I’ve become enamored with their music, and they’ve become one of my new …
Akai MPC 2000xl
The Akai MPC 2000xl sampler is one of the best pieces of equipment available on the music production scene. This piece of equipment is used by most of the top producers especially in the rap/hip-hop genre.
I have used this machine now for a couple of years and it has …

Muse - Assassin (Song)
Assassin is a track by Muse which appears on their album Black Holes And Revelations. Interestingly enough, I just finished reviewing Soldier’s Poem which is another track on this record and Assassin is like the complete opposite of that track. Whereas Soldier’s Poem is a very melodic song and …
Album : Megadeth - Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying (1986)

Snow Patrol : A Hundred Million Sun
Success is always a dilemma, which is accompanied by the popularity of heavy load, and the burden to continue to be in itself a success. It was a great effort to try to prove by Snow Patrol, in which released an album titled A Hundred Million Sun. Gary Lightbody, …
The Ramones band
Even though the band “The Ramones” became popular in the seventies and I mostly listen to a lot of newer bands, they have always been and still remain one of my faovurite punk rock bands. At first I thought that they were actually an English band since that is …
Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the movie Twilight fits the story perfectly. It is one of my favorite CDs in my own collection. I am very picky about my music. Prior to listening to this soundtrack, I only knew of two bands that were listed.
The first time I heard the …
Whoa (2006): Lil’ Kim
Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …

Megadeth - A Secret Place (Music Video)
Overview —“ A Secret Place, a third single released by Megadeth for their seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a much better track than the previous single, Almost Honest, and quite an improvement. A Secret Place isn’t as interesting as a lot of the tracks off of Megadeth’s earlier records …
Head General Hospital - Hopesfall
The hardcore rock scene has seen a decline in its hardcore aspect over the last few years, sounding more like pop driven radio friendly alternative than anything else. While Hopesfall may be a decent band, “Head General Hospital” seems to try to hard to reclaim some of the edge …
