“Stiff-upper lip” AC/DC music album

Tik Tok Music Video by Ke$ha
Ke$ha has recently burst onto the scene with her controversial lyrics and interesting look. In my opinion, she is not a very talented singer and she will not last very long in the music industry at all. To start with, she just looks trashy. It is not an attractive …

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 …
‘Peach, Plum, Pear’ by Joanna Newsom
If there is one song that moves me and transports me to a different place in time, that song would be ‘Peach, Plum, Pear’ by Joanna Newsom.

In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
Song : I Got U by Leona Lewis
I was amazed when I first heard Leona Lewis sing on The X Factor. With a voice that recalls early Mariah Carey, any time Celine Dion and a tone so pure you almost wonder if your dream she blew me away. While her first album was overall …
Ill Nino-Confession CD
This is an okay CD, but it was greatly disappointing in light of Ill Nino’s previous release Revolution/Revolucion. Their first effort was a seamless mix of hard rock and Spanish rhythms. But for this CD, they left most of their Latin flavor behind in favor of generic …
The Beatles - Baby You’re A Rich Man (Song)

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Song)
Gimme Shelter, the opening track to The Rolling Stones’ record Let It Bleed would have to be among my favorite Rolling Stones songs at the moment. In my opinion, just about everything on this track just comes together extremely nicely and overall the song is among their best, or …

Radiohead - All I Need (Song)
All I Need is a song by Radiohead which appears on their 2007 release, In Rainbows. The song opens up with a section that I consider to sound very dream-like due to the heavy use of synthesizers and the very laid back rhythm created by the drums. Yorke comes …
Jason Mraz Beautiful Mess-Live on Earth CD
I got really excited about Jason Mraz one day after listening to his songs on youtube so I marched down to That CD Shop to purchase a Jason Mraz CD.

Bloodflowers, 2000 Album by The Cure
This album was one of the first albums by the Cure that I listened to. It was quite a long time ago. It took place, in fact, probably in the year when this album was released. And then I loved these songs a lot. They seemed magic and otherworldly. …
Slash-(I Hold On) song
A song that I really like off the new Slash album released a year ago is the track I hold on. This song features vocals by Kid Rock and of course the guitar arrangements were written and played by Slash. This song starts by fading in and getting …
The Osmonds: 21 Hits CD
The Osmonds: 21 Hits CD was released in 1995 by Curb Records and is a celebration of five singing Osmond brothers. The liner notes are nothing special and is less than what Donny Osmond got for his 25 Hits CD put out the same year. Somehow, that …
Disturbed: Ten Thousand Fists CD
After two years of waiting Disturbed has finally released their third album. Anyone who has heard the single “Stricken” should indeed know that this album “rocks”, and by “rocks” I mean it “rocks” hard. From the the first track “Ten thousand Fists” to the end you can …

Phillipia (Atlanta singer)
I have attended a few venues in Atlanta where Phillipia was performing.
I don’t know much about her except that she’s a 36 year old jazz singer who graces many stages around the Atlanta area (and I presume, beyond). She’s got a great set of pipes. But …
Kumi Koda - show girl PV
The PV starts out with a sepia toned scene of Koda, who’s playing a woman of early 20th Century America being dumped. It then switches to color and remains that way for the rest of the video. I found the shift to be interesting as it conveyed her past …
Led Zeppelin - Coda
Overview - Coda, Led Zeppelin’s final studio record, is a collection of previously recorded tracks sometime in Zeppelin’s career that were never released on an album. Unfortunately I have to say right now, it isn’t too difficult to see why some of these songs never made it to the …
Scars On Broadway - Enemy (Song)
Enemy is a track by Scars On Broadway which shows up on their self-titled debut record. Enemy starts off with a very light guitar riff which is dominated by a wah effect and certainly has sort of a dancing, or at least moving, rhythm to it. Something notable on …
Kairo
The song Kairo by biniou is a really amazing song. Even someone that doesn’t know the Japanese language can enjoy its beauty.
The song starts out with a lovely introduction. The woman singing beats the music to the punch, singing a few lines before it goes into a break …

This girl-group band, a bit similar like Destiny’s Child is known as Cherish and I had this particular album titled Unappreciated by them. They are really 4 awesome black ladies singers and they croon tunes which are really pleasing to my ears.
What’s best is that they are not …
Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You

Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold is the band Avenged Sevenfold’s 5th album, and is obviously self-titled. It is a great album with very little screaming, and extremely skillful guitar solos. Sadly, some songs on the album, like “A Little Piece of Heaven” are incredibly messed up, and really have no musical value …
The Flaming Lips - Michael, Time To Wake Up (Song)
Michael, Time To Wake Up is a song by The Flaming Lips and the third song off of their third record, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up briefly with the sound of a baby, the track soon transitions into the bulk of the song which is made up of a guitar …
Original of the species (song by, u2)

The Beatles - Carry That Weight (Song)
Carry That Weight is one of the very last tracks on Abbey Road and although it is only 1:36 in track length, I feel like it offers quite a lot of music for that short amount of running space. I make a point to stress the time and length …
Like Only a Woman Can by Brian McFadden
“Like Only a Woman Can” is a song by Brian McFadden, released in 2007. It is one of the singles of the album “Set in Stone”. I’ve been a big Westlife fan since I was still in grade two. I was so frustrated upon the band’s breaking. However, I’m …
