Beyond the Sea - Finding Nemo

Speaking of Finding Nemo, there is this one song that came to my mind all of a sudden and …

The Clock is a song by Thom Yorke which appears on his debut solo album, The Eraser. The track opens up with a simple rhythm as more instrumentation gradually begins to join in to make the song have a fuller overall sound. This simple rhythm continues on for a …
Spice Girls (Reunited)
I think their time (Spice Girls) have really passed them on. What do you think. The latest reunion of Spice Girls although do get the needed kind of attention, I don’t quite think that they will be making boom music like they used to. Everybody still looks …
Radiohead -Sit Down. Stand Up. (Song)
Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes And Ladders.) is a song by Radiohead which appears on their record Hail To The Thief. The track opens up with a fairly eerie sound to it as it’s led by percussion and other distant instruments before establishing a more solid rhythm and Yorke …
Ill Nino-Confession CD
This is an okay CD, but it was greatly disappointing in light of Ill Nino’s previous release Revolution/Revolucion. Their first effort was a seamless mix of hard rock and Spanish rhythms. But for this CD, they left most of their Latin flavor behind in favor of generic …
1984 album by Van Halen
At a time where Van Halen sold out with David Lee Roth is the 1984 although a great rock album, It was one of the bands pop album and last album with keyboards on 3 songs. The awesome introduction called “1984″ and possibly the biggest Van Halen hit …
Annie’s Song by John Denver

Not Trying To Be Awkward is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the second track on their debut album, No Randy No. Set at a more relaxed tempo and pace than the preceding song on the record, Not Trying To Be Awkward focuses the chorus of voices …
City Of Evil- Avenged Sevenfold CD
I love this album by Avenged Sevenfold, it is one of my favorites next to “Live in LBC and Diamonds in the Rough” because it has some amazing solos and the songs are really fun to play on guitar. Shadows’ vocals are pretty good in this album, but they …
Screamin Blues Digitech pedal
This guitar pedal by digitech has to be one of the best investments I have made in my musical life. I love how you can play a nice simple scale on a regular clean setting and then immediately stomp on the pedal, yielding a more sustain and distorted sound. …

Chad Smith Signature Snare
In my band we have played about 10 shows in 2010. We always bring the enregy and our drummer is probably the hardest hitting drummer that we have had. Due to his high velocity powerful drumming, it was about time to get a new snare drum. I could …
Who You Are by Jessie J Music Album
I first discovered Jessie J through her first single, Price Tag, on the Top 40 List. It was a very catchy tune with a simple message and an upbeat attitude which is perfect for a summer song. I then saw her perform her music video for Who …
Breakdown by Guns N’ Roses
A great song by the band Guns N’ Roses off the Use your Illusion 2 album is the song Breakdown. It is a 7 minute song that opens up with a cool Axl Rose signature style whistle intro with banjo played by Slash and then it goes into a …
Henry Poole is Here Soundtrack
I love a good soundtrack to a movie. It can really make or break a movie because the songs can set the right mood, add tension, or build suspense. I am usually more of a fan of movies that have amazing soundtracks than ones with music that just doesn’t …
The Smashing Pumpkins - Suffer (Song)
Suffer is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the sixth track on their debut record, Gish. Opening up with a simple drum rhythm, the remaining instrumentation soon joins in the mix as well as Corgan’s vocals. For some reason, I’m slightly reminded of The End, a song …
The Black Eyed Peas (”musical” group)
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. …
Bob Dylan - House Of The Rising Sun (Song)
House Of The Risin’ Sun is a traditional song which is performed by Bob Dylan on his self-titled debut record. I’m sure that just about everyone has heard some version of this song, whether it be the original or just a cover of it from some artist as it’s …
Westlife - Flying Without Wings - Single
A song sang by Westlife, but in my opinion, most likely to have been wrote by their manager, at least he was their manager at the time, Ronan Keating.
The reason why I suggest it was put together by Ronan is the lyrics. This is without doubt a love song, …

Delta Goodrem
This Australian singer, Delta Goodrem makes some good music, or rather, sings some good music. I certainly think that she has some strong vocals and that if you are bored or just wanting to hear some love tunes, then go for this album. The title of her album …
Motley Crue : Red, White and Crue
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 …

X&Y by COLDPLAY
To be honest, i’ve never been a great fan of coldplay, and So I wasn’t very excited about listening to their newest album, X&Y, released on june 6th, 2005. I put the headphone on, and steady notes of the same Coldplay-ish music came pouring in.
X&Y claims to have used …

Ill Nino-Revolution/Revolucion
While many think of pop music like Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias when they think of the Latin-tinged music that has become increasingly popular in the last five years, there are a few bands out there who can rock out at Ozzfest while also pounding on the conga drum. …

Iron Maiden - Charlotte The Harlot (Song)

Bone Thugs N Harmony: East 1999 Eternal CD
East 1999 Eternal is one of the best albums ever created. And it is the best album recorded by rap group Bone Thugs N Harmony. They have a very magickal and sinister sound on this album. I really enjoyed the fast paces raps and haunting vocals they used on …
The Rolling Stones - Dear Doctor (Song)
Dear Doctor is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Beggars Banquet. The vocals start in right away along with an acoustic guitar part and a slight harmonica as well which gives it somewhat of a folk rock sound in my opinion. Jagger’s vocal melody …
Hosanna by Brooke Fraser
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest! These words are already familiar with most of us as we hear it with other existing Christmas song. But this one is not a Christmas song but more of a worship song that really comes from the heart of the worship leader who …

When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating

Epica’s Song Chasing The Dragon
Welcome angelic voice to my melancholy ears. Any Gothic Metal or Symphonic Metal fan is usually in search for this exact concoction. The song, Chasing the Dragon by Epica starts about being one of the sweetest serenades or lullabies ever produced by Epica’s …

India.Arie’s Testimony: Vol. 2: Love and Politics
Real music strikes again, in the form of something a tad different from India.Arie’s (India Simpson) previous albums. While the soul in her voice remains, embedded and improved upon, the origins of the music used are as diverse as Middle Eastern and as pop as Britney Spears. Ms. Simpson …
Animal Collective - Danse Manatee (Album)
Danse Manatee is the second record released by Animal Collective. Following Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished, the best way I can summarize this album is that it actually seems to be a decline and a step down in songwriting unfortunately. Though Danse Manatee does certainly have its moments …
