Usually, I don’t even bother to watch the music videos for the songs I listen to, but my supervisor from a previous job sent me the music video “You Belong With Me”, by Taylor Swift, thinking I might like it. He was right. The video is so cute and …

If you are not familiar with the girl band Sugababes, fret not. That is because they are a girl group band hailing all the way from UK. And they sound as sweet as sugar. As for this album, Catfights and Spotlights by Sugababes they score to me …

We rode in trucks by Luke Bryant is a song that makes me think of the small town I live in cause I know what it is like to grow up like he is talking about. Trucks are a common thing among these parts. This song shows how it …

Listening to Rela by Tila really is mesmerizing. It gives me a soothing effect and this song really touches me to the very core. Rela in Malay means ‘willing’. And this song is about this woman sacrificing her all just for this guy.
Even if you …

The album has basically all the songs I have heard over the years …

I recently purchased the new slash album from walmart because I thought it would be cool to have and interesting to see what kind of music slash is making nowadays. At first I thought it was going to be an ok album but it is actually better than I …

I for the life of me do not understand why in the world you need 6 people to carry one song. That said, I actually find myself enjoying the vocals of Danity Kane. I heard ‘Damaged’ on the radio and realized it’s not like all the other R&B drivel …

Attak is a great piece of music. If you haven’t yet heard about this album, and about the band KMFDM, it is quite possible that not many roads will lead you to this piece of music, but that would be a real loss for any music lover, and I …

I’m aware that I’ve been stating that many of the songs on The Black Album seem to be driven much more by Hetfield’s voice rather than the music itself, but I believe My Friend Of Misery is an exception to this. Whereas many of the previous tracks on this …

Sissy Spacek is simply incredible as the first lady of country music, Loretta Lynn, in Coal Miner’s Daughter. Her speech and singing were right on. She does do all the singing here, and she’s so good that not everyone realizes that it’s Spacek singing and not Lynn. …

What I love about these classics is that Barry stays true to the song but makes it his …

In my opinion, Sebastian Bach is one of the best singers on the planet. His days with Skid Row birthed some of the most memorable vocal performances in modern rock. It’s no secret that he was booted from the Row, and it’s no secret that a reunion …

We Will Rock you, a Queen song that could get any crowd going. With Freddie and the front this was even easier. The hand clapping and the way in which Freddie opens this are synonymous with the track. You hear this intro and people just stop because they know …

A rock and roll classic! One of the best LP’s of the 1970’s.

1973 was too early for the world …

Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …

Aggressive Perfector is a song by Slayer which appears on their EP Haunting The Chapel. Initially this track wasn’t included on the original EP but it does appear on the re-issue of the EP as a bonus track. The track starts off with a sustained guitar riff and a …
