I went to see Mark Knopfler, the ex Dire Straits guitar supremo, last Wednesday in the O2 Arena in Dublin. In a word it was magic ! I am quite a critical person but this gig just ticked all my boxes and it just got better as the night …

If youre looking to get a great tone for your band, cover band or just for personal music use and dont have 2000 bucks to get a marshall or evh 5150 amp. A great choice would be the modeling amp from Roland called the Vga-5. It is packed with …

Decades after this song was made, it still sticks in my head. Perhaps I am just a nostalgic fiend for old school rap songs. But I suspect that the millions of Slick Rick fans feel the same way about this song. The song “Hey Young …

Two Corvettes is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their third studio release, Campfire Songs. Transitioning out of Doggy, Two Corvettes fluidly opens with a vocal section packed by the acoustic guitar tone that has been present throughout the album thus far. Like the …

I remember how dissatisfied with this album I was after I bought it. It was a rather critical point then. I had bought the KMFDM album called Attak, released in 2002, and I liked it a lot. And then I saw this CD in the shop. And I thought: …

The Wanton Song is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which somewhat reminds me of The Immigrant Song, an earlier song done by Zeppelin. The point I’m making is that the riff …

Johnny Reb is a song by Johnny Horton. It talks about a soldier that fought with Robert E. Lee and how they fought hard in a battle. The soldier was shot but still fought for what he believed in. This song is basically a tribute to …

Sucioperro is a band from Ayrshire, Scotland in the UK. If you like rip-roaring indie-rock with a bit of funky soul then I’ve no doubt that you will love this band. That may sound like an odd description for a band’s sound but honestly it’s accurate. They are …

I must say that Twilight the Soundtrack is quite the rave for me nowadays. The songs featured inside are all quite catchy and you have nice beats, fast ones, kind of melodramatic tunes and sometimes kind of rock sounding. Including in the rock tunes and other beats would …

Actually, what the John Denver: The Best of John Denver Live CD is, is the Wildlife Concert performance that Denver did. It’s often seen on PBS in the United States. The CD also has an interactive extra if you use it on your computer. This is a …

I really had a difficult time to understand what the first stanza means because I was really baffled on what the singer is trying to tell his audience. But when I played the song again and again, that is what I have understood because I can’t clearly get how …

Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!
As a background, AURORA (real name Aurora Aksnes) …

Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland is about how much Nelly likes Kelly. This song is a love song if I have never even heard it and just read reviews about it I would figure that much out. This song is an awesome song in my book but that�s …

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 …

Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …

Before the album was released, a few years ago, Motley Crue fans have so long waited for this group to return to the reunion. I am sure, this group would know what the fans wanted. Therefore, Motley Crue have returned with the album Red, White & Crue. This album …

The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …

Clumsy by fergie on her album the dutchess came out in two thousand and six. This song is about how a girl falls in love and is clumsy about it. I like the sound effects they use in this song. This song is a good song for any …

I recently recieved one of these guitars for my birthday. Now keep in mind that I have absolutely no musical talent, and I’ve heard that these guitars are perfect for begginers. I am pretty happy with it, I must admit.
The guitar has a bit of a hollow sound but …

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 …

I don’t even know why I ever liked this song. It is pretty ridiculous. I guess at the time I was an emotional wreck and I would listen to anything that made me feel a little bit better about myself. But this song, now that I listen to it …

Lil Wayne —“ The Dedication 3
Lil Wayne dropped the dedication 3 in 2009, and it was definitely a letdown, coming from a Lil Wayne fan. Lil Wayne performed well on the mixtape but the members from his entourage failed to shine.
Firstly, DJ Drama, the mixtape DJ, talks and yells …

JIM LAAB’S MUSIC. Was the best experience I�ve had a purchasing something major via the internet. I desperately wanted a baby grand piano for my new house, however, a zillion trips to music stores, some near and some quite far away, left me feeling very depressed. I …

When Britney Spears was in her prime I was never really a big fan of her. I did like some of her songs, just not all of them. When she went through her difficult time of cutting off her hair and locking herself in the bathroom, I thought it …

DJ Tomek ft. Lil’ Kim and Trooper Da Don

She Said She Said is a track which appears on The Beatles’ record Revolver. Although I would certainly say that She Said She Said is certainly overshadowed by Tomorrow Never Knows in terms of a psychedelic sound and influence but it is clear that this track does indeed have …

Off the new Slash album, Nothing to Say by Slash is a song featuring vocals by The M Shadows off Avenged Sevenfold. It starts off with a creepy laugh by Slash and goes into a dark riff that goes into another riff into the verse of the song. I …

David Bowie is the very definition of LEGEND in the music industry. I have been a fan of David’s for many years, and I actually heard about him from his films, not from his music. The specific film being Labyrinth, in which he was one of the main characters, …

Watered-Down Love is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. The track starts out with a very upbeat sound, as do many of Dylan’s songs from his religious period, and Dylan sings in a melody which sounds unnaturally poppy in my opinion. To …

April 8th is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate song on their debut album On Avery Island. Though Three Peaches, another song on this album, had a pretty dark and sad sound to it, I must say that April 8th is easily the darkest track …
