Kyuss - El Rodeo (song)
“El Rodeo” happens to be on Kyuss last studio album …And The Circus Leaves Town. Although the actual album wasn’t Kyuss best albums compared to the excellent “Blues for the Red Sun” and equally good “Welcome to Sky Valley”, it did churn out this little diddy. “El Rodeo” happens …

The Rolling Stones - The Worst (Song)
The Worst is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Voodoo Lounge. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar part before the vocals come in. To be honest, the vocals don’t sound like Jagger at all and I’m actually not convinced that this is …
Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk
Harder Better Faster Stronger is one of my favorite songs, with very catchy lyrics, and very simple beats. I love how Daft Punk uses a talk box along with their electric guitar to make the robot voices. Whenever I listen to this song, I just felt like the music …
Megadeth - Out On The Tiles (Song)
Out On The Tiles is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears as a bonus track for their record United Abominations. The cover is a song initially done by Led Zeppelin so it’ll be interesting to see how Megadeth interpret the song. The track starts off with that familiar …

Sandara Park and 2ne1
I am not a korean, I am just one of the many filipino fans of the rising star korean girl pop group 2ne1. One reason why I like this group is because of Sandara Park who is now using the name Dara when she joined 2ne1.
I am really …
Sledding With Tigers - Carmel Mountain (Song)

Alicia keys - if I ain’t got you

‘Surfer Girl’ - The Beach Boys
In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …
Oneness by David & Steve Gordon
Oneness by David & Steve Gordon is simply incredible. I think it is just about my favorite relaxing and calming audio CD that I have as part of my collection. The wind chimes, temple bells, traveling streams, flutes and more are just some of the instruments and sounds employed …
Jefferson Airplane - A Song For All Seasons
A Song For All Seasons is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their 1969 release, Volunteers. The track opens up with a piano bit and right away you certainly get sort of a sense of country rock rather than the traditional psychedelic rock of Jefferson Airplane. At …
Significant Other, 1999 Album by Limp Bizkit
If I assess this album now, trying to figure out its worth more objectively, I probably would have a more sober opinion of it. But even after the passage of so many years, I still find it almost impossible to have an analytical, cold view of this album, because …

Dont Blow Your Top, 1988 Album by KMFDM

Rent rock opera
In my personal opinion, this is the most socially relevant usage of the stage musical in the history of the genre. It is a powerful love letter to Generation X that does not sugar coat the hardships faced by the LGBT community in the nineties, as well as …
Celtic Thunder, The Show (Music)
Celtic Thunder effectively captures the exceptional Irish flavor of a recent concert that the group by the same name held in 2008. The Celtic Thunder group consists of five Irishmen from different walks of life and who have developed their own vocal style that comes together in …

What Was Lost
The new two-member (Mike Sheppard & Vicky Backle) indie band, What Was Lost, from Vernon, New Jersey seem to have a unique and emotional style. I’m not too sure whether it’s the slow, sad voices or the crying of the guitar that makes this band so touching, but …

The Aria Ocarina, by STL Ocarina
I received my Aria Ocarina from St. Louis Ocarina (STL) in 2014 and found it difficult (at first) to play. While the ocarina is an incredibly easy instrument to learn to play, it can be a challenge to play well, and in the beginning, the notes played so sharp …

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side II)

R. Kelly
“U Saved Me”
Happy People/U Saved Me
Jive Records
R. Kelly delivers us the second and final single and music video from his double solo album “Happy People/U Saved Me” titled “U Saved Me”. I’m surprised R. Kelly cut this album’s music video lifespan short with only two of them (”Happy …
Waking Hour by Vienna Teng
It is rare to see an Asian American songstress making a name for herself in America, despite the claim that there is no racial bias in entertainment. And so Vienna Teng’s presence upon the adult alternative music scene is very much refreshing and a welcome change from the numerous …
