The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (Song)

Sailing On song
The song Sailing On is from the play Saturday’s Warrior. All of the songs lyrics are by Doug Stewart and the music is by Lex De Azevedo, who also produced the play. The version I adore the most is sung by Cam Clarke, who some might know …
Pink Floyd - Waiting For The Worms (Song)
Waiting For The Worms is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their record The Wall. The track opens up in an extremely melodic fashion where Waters sings along with harmonized dubs of his own voice which provides a very full sound vocally. The intro of this track …
Weezer - Falling For You (Song)
Falling For You is a song by Weezer which appears on their sophomore effort, Pinkerton. Opening up with a clean guitar intro that sounds incredibly delicate and gentle, the band doesn’t waste too much time in kicking in the distortion and going into the bulk of the song led …
Scars on Broadway The Self Titled Album
Half of this band before they broke up was actually consisted of System of a Down member Daron Malakian who was the lead guitar player, and John Dolmayan who was the drummer. Daron this time around reprises his former role as a guitar player, but also acts the lead …
Johnny Cash
I own every Johnny Cash CD, and have a huge signed photograph of him blown up on my wall. I have been a huge fan of his for many years now, and will continue to be even now after he has passed away. The legacy lives on in his …
The Gaslight Anthem: The 59 Sound
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 …
Green Day - Stuck With Me (Song)
Stuck With Me is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Insomniac. Right from the start, you certainly get hit with that traditional Green Day sound of distorted power chords played in a repetitive structure. I don’t mean for this description to sound unpleasant or anything, …
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 …
Frogsomp (Album from Silverchair)
Frogstomp was officially released in 1995, but the algum ideas were already half-done in 1994.
Frogstomb is the first album from the band Silverchair.The members were only fifteen, but the album maturity does not look like coming from teenagers.In my opinion, this album is their best in general, becaus the …
Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill soundtrack CD
The Tall Tale: The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill soundtrack CD is one of my favorites. This Disney movie starred Patrick Swayze as the legendary Pecos Bill, and it’s full of magic and adventure. The music expresses the wonder of heroes and the growing up of a …
Brad Bhen Vintage Model B Clarinet Mouthpiece
The Brad Bhen Mouthpiece Company is a company started by Brad Bhen that produces handcrafted mouthpieces to suit the professional clarinetist’s needs.
After buying the Model A mouthpiece from Brad Bhen, I was eager to buy their other model (model A was an amazing mouthpiece). The website they had …
Animal Collective - Who Could Win A Rabbit (Song)
Who Could Win A Rabbit is a song by Animal Collective and is the second track on their album Sung Tongs. Similar to the opening track, Leaf House, Who Could Win A Rabbit features instrumentation which is far more stripped down in comparison to the previous record, Here Comes …
Slayer - Ghosts Of War (Song)
Ghosts Of War is a song by Slayer which appears on their record South Of Heaven. The song starts off with a very fast riff and an aggressive drum pattern as well, although I do have to admit that the actual tone on the instruments leaves something to be …
Yamaha F-325 Steel String Acoustic Guitar
The wide variety of guitars in the market today makes guitar shopping a tough challenge for beginning musicians. With today’s economy the instrument of choice should deliver the needs of the musician with an affordable deal.
The Yamaha F-325 Steel String Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is a prime choice …
Neutral Milk Hotel - The Fool (Song)
The Fool is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the fifth song on their album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Something I should mention about this track immediately, as a fair warning, is that this is the first instrumental on this record. I say as a …
Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death and all of his Friends Album
Coldplay has yet again created another positively brilliant album! Although this one has a completely different sound from any of their other albums.. It will literally make you so happy you will feel as though your head is about to explode! Ha, love, love it. So to those people …
Nas - Undying Love (song)
“Undying Love” is a lyrical masterpiece from the rapper Nas. This song appears on his album “I Am” which in itself garnered mixed reviews. I’ll tell you this though, never will you hear such a well thought out and well told story in today’s rap/hip hop scene. Fittingly this …
The Flaming Lips - Felt Good To Burn (Song)
Felt Good To Burn is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their record Hit To Death In The Future Head. The song opens up with the vocals coming in pretty much immediately and accompanied by a tambourine and some other instrumentation which unfortunately doesn’t leave much …

This is another album that was released after the death of J Dilla. This will be his final album, and will actually feature lyrics instead of just instrumentals. The CD guests include appearances by Common, J. Rocc, Guilty Simpson, Busta Rhymes, and many other underground and mainstream rappers. Dilla …
Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All (Music Video)
First of all, I love this song. It suits Kelly so well and it’s something you would love to hear on the radio. So then onto the music video, Kelly looks amazing. The old Kelly, young and fun with attitude is back and is better than ever. Kelly looks …
Genesis
Genesis is LEGENDARY British band in the progressive rock genre. Originally, I wasn’t too keen on them, but after Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel, that is when I became aware of Genesis as a band, and actually began to like them and respect them for what they …
Marshall JCM 2000 Head
I recently purchased a very good marshall head that may have had a ripped logo and was torn and used but I really liked the professional tone to it. It was only 600 dollars and was a Marshall JCM 2000 super lead from 2004. I also knew this was …
Silverchair - Neon Ballroom Album
This album was released back in 1999, and is one of my favourite Albums done by the Aussie band. The boys had started being in a band back in 1994 when they were young teenagers and has had a few heavier hard rocking albums before this one. I find …
Wait For You by Elliott Yamin
I love this song, Wait For You by Elliott Yamin so, so much. In fact, I would listen to this song track like almost everyday, it’s just impossible not to hear it. It would be so, so romantic if a guy could sing this song for me personally …
Korn Take A Look In The Mirror
Take A Look In The Mirror is the bands 6th album and the title is a statement to the critics. The album was recorded at Jon Davis’s home studio LA California. Produced by Korn and Frank Filipetti. The album is one of Korns darkest angriest albums ever, taking a …
System of a Down The Self Titled Album
System of a Down is one of my most favorite bands. They’re a hard rock band and they usually dabble in heavy sounding music that more often than not has double or deep meaning behind the lyrics. In this review, I want to talk about their very first album, …
Animal Collective - Alvin Row (Song)
Alvin Row is a song by Animal Collective and the final song on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with a dissonant sound from the start, I must admit that I’m slightly discouraged by this considering the fact that this is the longest song …
Animal Collective - People (Song)
People is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their 2006 EP of the same name. Taking about a minute to introduce the track, a heavy percussive rhythm enters the song after about a minute in which gives the song a more definitive rhythm and I’m currently liking …
System of a Down Steal This Album!
Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …
Victory: Puff Daddy ft. Busta Rhymes and Notorious B.I.G.
Puff Daddy ft. Busta Rhymes and Notorious B.I.G.
“Victory”
No Way Out
Bad Boy Records
Director: Marcus Nispel
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 …
Scars On Broadway - Funny (Song)
Funny is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record. Going along with Serious, the opening track of the album, Funny is sort of the opposite of Serious because it is far more melodic and more moderately paced than Serious which was extremely aggressive …
Soundgarden: Ultramega OK
Wow! I can’t say that word enough when it comes to Soundgarden’s debut album, Ultramega OK. The band that blew the door down with this powerful, 13 track album. If you’re into rock at all, then this is the album to start your collection with.
With powerful and meaningful songs …
Bob Dylan - Girl From The North Country (Song)
Girl From The North Country is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. The song opens up with a melodic fairly paced acoustic guitar part from Dylan before he joins in with the vocals. His voice seems to have a bit of …
Bob Dylan - Blowin’ In The Wind (Song)
Blowin’ In The Wind, one of Bob Dylan’s most famous and ionic songs throughout his extremely lengthy career proves to certainly meet it’s reputation as the track itself is just great. As with most early Bob Dylan, or rather most Bob Dylan for that matter, the track isn’t driven …
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 …
Patty Smyth
The first time when I heard of the singer Patty Smyth was when I heard a song from her in the nineteen nineties when I was still a child. I remember it was one of my favourite songs at the time, but I could never seem to hear it …
Get Ready (1999): Mase ft. Blackstreet
Artist: Mase ft. Blackstreet
Video: “Get Ready”
Album: Double Up
Director: Hype Williams.
“Get Ready” is the first single and music video off of Mase’s second album “Double Up” and it is perhaps the best song and video he did ever since “Feel So Good” (is it no surprise that both videos are …
Killswitch Engage The End Of Heartache
The End Of Heartache is Killswitch Engage’s third album, second album on Roadrunner Records, and first album to feature vocalist Howard Jones as Jesse Leach’s replacement. The album was released in 2004, and like the last 2 albums was again produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. If you are looking …
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (Album)
Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …
All that remains metal band
All that remains is a death metal band and they are not as good as anybody thinks they are. They are a joke and I will tell you why they are a joke.
First off All that remains is a death metal band and that is how they started and …
Silverchair the band
Silverchair is a crappy band and they have always been a crappy band and too start things off the way the lead singer sounds is horrible. He has always had a very annoying voice and it sounded scratchy in m opinion and he never sounded good whether it was …
Skrillex’s EP Bangarang
The unofficial king of Dubstep, an up-and-coming genre of electronic dance music, recently released onto the internet a seven song EP entitled “Bangarang.” The EP is available for download from many internet music sites, including iTunes and Amazon. The EP comes as …
Album : The Who - Who’s Next (1971)
Well this review should be pretty easy, i mean who doesn’t like The Who? well, if anybody answered that question by saying something like “Yeah, i like their radio singles, but i don’t know about the rest of their stuff”. Now is the time explore some of their more …
Telephone Music Video by Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is known for being one of the most innovative and provocative artists of this generation. She seems to have revolutionized the industry in a mere matter of months. It isn’t simply about how strange she seems to be in the way she dresses and acts. It is …
I Just Wanna Say I Love You
I Just Wanna Say I Love You is a first single released by Potret (Melly Goeslaw, Anto Hoed and Wong Aksan) from a soundtrack album for Indonesian Movie called “Chika”. What I love about this song is, Melly as the composer gives a real evident that lyric is nothing …
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Original Movie Soundtrack (CD)
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 …
OK Go on Treadmills
So we’ve all seen plenty of music videos that switch between shots of the band rocking in the background and a dramatic scene played by a couple of actors. But never before have I seen something so entirely original that I just sit back and think, “What a great …
Deathlike Silence (Finnish heavy metal band)
Deathlike Silence is a metal band from Finland, usually referred to as “gravedigger metal.” I, however, prefer to call them “horror metal” as their lyrics tend to be horror-based, much like the lyrics of the old-school horror punk band, the Misfits.
The first thing I noticed about this band …
Album: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace Band: The Offspring
Well it’s been a few years since the last Offspring album, Expectancy of One, which I honestly beloved, wasn’t all that good . However! They have finally returned! Two years ago in 2008 The Offspring released this album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, and it truly is rebirth. …
