From the play Saturday’s Warrior, Paper Dream is my absolute favorite. When I first heard it many years ago, I was floored by it. It went right into the middle of my heart and it’s never left. It has a lot of meaning for me. …

Tiny Dancer by Elton John is a beautiful song to which every time I listen to it the song still amazes me how soft and beautiful the words are sung. This guy has an awesome voice which lures me to sleep almost every night because that’s how much I …

I Love You is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their recorded Loaded. Something to take note about this track is that it’s a demo so what you hear really isn’t a finalized version or anything, it was included on this record in demo form for …

As a classical enthusiast and performer myself, I have a large CD library with around nine or ten recordings of the infamous, devilishly difficult Sibelius Violin Concerto. Joshua Bell is one of my favorite violinists, and a friend gave me a CD of him playing the Sibelius and …

Can’t Stop The Spring is a song by The Flaming Lips and the ninth song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Returning to the distorted guitar sound present throughout the majority of this record, Can’t Stop The Spring honestly reminds me of a Flaming Lips song which appeared …

Just A Bullet Away is a song by Metallica which debuted at one of the band’s anniversary shows in San Francisco, California. With the working title of Shine, many fans may have heard snippets from Mission Metallica clips while the band was writing Death Magnetic. As many fans looked …

Space Dementia is a song by Muse which appears on their record Origin Of Symmetry. The track opens up with a graceful piano line that has somewhat of an eerie feel to it but it does exactly what an introduction for a song should do, it makes me want …

Something Else by Good Charlotte is a song that I like in some ways because it is about how every one wants something else no matter what they might have. It also is talking about how you can be any thing you want to be no matter what your …

Bleeding Heart is a cover done by Jimi Hendrix which is on his most recent posthumous album, Valleys Of Neptune. The track certainly has a definitive blues-rock rhythm and feel to it, like a lot of songs which Hendrix worked with. I have to say that I love the …

One of my favorite Albums of all time is the epic Van Halen. This debut album is one of the great albums that influenced 80s metal and rock. The album was released in 1978 and has sold millions of worldwide. It feature the tight bass grooves by bassist Michael …

21st Century Breakdown is the title track of the most recent record released by Green Day. The song opens up in a very simple fashion of just acoustic guitar chords coming in and out but the song gradually builds, particularly thanks to Cool’s pounding drum rhythm which gets louder …

Homecoming, the second musical epic of this album along with Jesus Of Suburbia, is honestly just as good as Jesus Of Suburbia in my opinion. I praise both of these tracks heavily, not so much because the parts themselves are brilliant but because the whole song is very well …

That Was Just Your Life, the opening track to Metallica’s latest record Death Magnetic, certainly has a feel and an energy that I don’t believe the band has had since 1991, the days of The Black Album. I’ll admit that when I first heard this album, this track honestly …

Wish You Were Here, the title track of Pink Floyd’s record Wish You Were Here is an example of one of the best songs I believe that Pink Floyd has written throughout their entire career. Wish You Were Here is driven primarily simply by vocals and an acoustic guitar, …

You may remember Danielle White from American Juniors in 2003. I remember that I was a fan of her from the couple episodes I saw, and I was happy for her that she made it into the group. I decided to see if there was anything new …

As a college graduation present, my grandmother offered to buy me a horn. I wanted a Conn 8D like my professor and all the really good horn players had. I settled on the Holton Farkas model because it was more in our price range ($1200).

Fast Car is a folk rock song from Tracy Chapman from her self titled album. I first thought that Tracy is a woman but when I saw her face in the net I have doubts if she is really a woman. Even in the internet, people are being confused …

I began listening to this amazing band quite some time ago (even though they haven’t been around for all that long) and I must say, as sadly often is the case with other bands, the sound of their music has NOT faded the tiniest bit. I can listen to …

‘Don’t cha is the first single from Pussycat Dolls’s first album. I really like this song because it’s so energic and can make me cheer up.
‘Don’t cha is tell about the girl who feel that a boy like her, she feels that all the boy like her because she’s …

I recently purchased a new Fender Frontman 25R Practice amp for a room that I have set up, and I have to say that for a small, inexpensive amp, it does very well. I was able to play at fairly high levels, without hearing …

Artist: Mariah Carey
Video: Emotions
Album: Emotions
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Jeff Preiss
“Vision of Love” may have been one thing but “Emotions” was Mariah Carey’s best breakthrough song that she ever did, at least in my humble opinion. “Emotions” is the first single and music video from Mariah Carey’s second album titled Emotions …

Do you want fries with that is about a man who is struggling to keep up with paying his exes bills by working a second job at a fast food place. It’s a bit tongue in cheek and he is definitely a bitter man. He isn’t so much worried …

Marty Sampson has a very husky voice in singing this song All I Need Is You. I really like the song because of the wonderful message and the composition of it was also amazing.
He also leads the guitar as he sings although you can obviously hear from Marty’s voice …

Rihanna’s 7th album to date, she gifts us with the title “Unapologetic”. Although there’s no track in the album under the same title, I believe the theme is based around that title. Following the hype and promotion of this album, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. I …

This is the band’s Fifth album and first for Roadrunner Records, released in 2004. This is a great album by the band, it’s smoother than anything the band has released before it, it is really heavy, and at times has a lot of melody, and could be classified as …

This album, in my opinion, is pure genius. It’s reveals a more romantic side of Chris Martin (the lead singer) who is an immensely talented musician. Yet with a little more rocker edge to it. I wish that everybody would listen to it.. I never knew how deeply music …

Doggy is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Campfire Songs. Opening up with an acoustic guitar strumming pattern, the vocals join in the track pretty quickly but they unfortunately sound completely buried in the mix at the song’s opening. Because of this, the vocals feel …

You Don’t Even Call Me By My Name by David Allan Coe is a classic song to me. I used to think this song was done by Johnny Cash instead of David Allan Coe. Maybe they both did the song, I’m not sure. Either way it is a great …

Early Mornin’ Rain is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Self Portrait. The song starts off with a very lighthearted feel as most of the instruments all come in at once and a harmonica takes the lead spot for the intro of this track. …

I am amazed at just how low the general rating for this album has been so far across the internet. I think it may have something to do with the hipsters being disappointed that another one their underground indie bands are making a push for commercial success. I don’t …

I love this song and first heard it a few years back at Christmas time from a CD comprising of 101 Christmas songs. Little did I know it was sung back in 1960! But the song itself is so cute and I was hooked immediately when I heard it.
The …

The much awaited fourth album, ‘Across the Dark’, by Finnish melodic death metal outfit, Insomnium finally hit the US streets mid-September last year. I for one, couldn’t wait to get hold of my copy, having been a close follower of this band since their sounds first gripped me, dating …

If you are a DMX fan you will not be dissapointed in his second cd, also if you are looking for some real hard core hip hop music then I suggest that you pick this up because of the hard content on this cd which includes. “No Love For …
