Brother Sport is a song by Animal Collective and the final track to appear on their 2009 release, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with a quick and lighthearted feel, the song immediately reminds me of Lion In A Coma because of this. Despite this, Brother Sport lacks the somewhat …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.

Water Curses is a song by Animal Collective and is the title track of their 2008 EP release. Opening with a synthesizer intro, Water Curses quickly transitions into a lighthearted and easily flowing track which the instruments and Tare’s voice do a good job of establishing.

Aria electric guitars are exceptionally good. Considering their cheap prices as compared to Ibanez or Gibson, it comes as a surprise that Aria guitars are quite professional.Recently i purchased an Aria electric guitar (STG 004) for less than 200$. It has 2 single-coil pick-ups and one humbugging pick-up.
This …

Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

Flavored synth pops and 80’s inspired rock beats coated the self-titled debut album of The 1975, an indie-rock band formed in England.

No More Tears is my favorite solo album by Ozzy Osbourne.I love every song on the album with all of my heart’s content.The reason mainly is Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing.However, I feel like they captured Ozzy’s voice and desire in a very mature time in his life.The overall feel …

Yes, that upbeat song from the sexy and gorgeous-blonde Lee Ann Rimes. I just can’t get over this …

I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …

The first time that I ever heard of Lupe Fiasco was in the song “Know My Name” by Blake Lewis. He sounded like a regular rap artist and there’s nothing special about him. But then after this song comes out, I really like this dude. First of all, this …

This song is excellent we can’t deny that. Actually, this song has been recommended as one of the top 10 graduation song of all time. The message of the song allows us to reflect on how we deal with separation. Some may ask why is it suitable for a graduation …

The first song I heard off this album was Heads Will Roll. It took place a rather long time ago. I was lying on the sofa, watching TV, MTV, and this song came on. I was probably in my second or third academic year at the university. When I …
