Climbing To New Lows is the debut album released by MGMT. Though most fans associate MGMT with Oracular Spectacular, or Congratulations to a lesser extent, I still believe that Climbing To New Lows has some good songs on it and shouldn’t be written off as a poor debut effort. …

Jay-Z

Oracular Spectacular is the second album released by MGMT following their debut, Climbing To New Lows. Now, many people will know about this album due to some wonderful singles released such as Time To Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids, but what I want to stress in this review is …

I am so in love with this song, titled Dayang Nurfaizah - Still You Leave. The title is also known as ‘Kau Pergi Jua’. This song is actually a cover version of another veteran singer and Dayang Nurfaizah is sort of Malaysia’s answer to Beyonce. And she …

This song is tell about a girl who always cheated by her boyfriend. He always forgiven, but he always …

Felt Good To Burn is a song by the Flaming Lips which appears on their record Hit To Death In The Future Head. The song opens up with the vocals coming in pretty much immediately and accompanied by a tambourine and some other instrumentation which unfortunately doesn’t leave much …

This album catapulted the band to worldwide fame, but I personally do not find the album all the strong. I think that this album has a very deep discrepancy between the different songs on it. Some of the songs are impressive and deserved to become the hits that they …

Allison Krauss has one of the most amazing voices in country music and this song is just one more proof of that. This is one of my favorite songs by this artist because of the lyrics and the soft but upbeat tune. She proclaims her love for this person …

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 …

I had the utmost pleasure of being able to see Black Label Society LIVE in concert supporting Ozzy Osbourne on July 6th 2007 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham England. They were simply amazing combining powerful heavy metal riffs with amazing and unique vocalization for every song, each …

I bought my Boss DS-1 used on eBay for $25 about three years ago. I had just started playing guitar and I wanted a basic distortion pedal that sounded good but was really cheap. I heard good things about it so I decided I’d give it a shot.

She thinks my tractors sexy by Kenny Chesney is a song for a guy who lives on a farm and has a girl friend who likes tractors. This song also ditches all other vehicles other than tractors. I listen to this song all the time because it talks …

This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …

Overview —“ I Disappear, a track written for the purposes of the Mission Impossible II soundtrack is a song that ended up causing a lot of controversy for Metallica and costing them a lot of fans, and not even for the song itself. For those of you who do …

Eyes Open is a song by Wolfmother which appears on their second album, Cosmic Egg. The track wastes no time in opening up with an interesting guitar pattern and the vocals also join in the mix pretty quickly as well. Throughout the verse, the vocals sound fairly tamed in …

Sometimes, the best things are found in the strangest of places. From the midst of the often incredibly angsty underground music scene comes a completely unexpected ray of sunshine in the form of a band with a typically ironic name — Cheap Seats.
The band at first glance is rather …

This is my favorite post-Beatles solo album. I also really enjoy John’s Plastic Ono Band, and Paul and Linda’s Ram, but All Things Must Pass is so trancendentally amazing that no other release comes close. I have a copy on vinyl that I got from my dad’s old records.
A …

80s music had a distinctive sound to it, and no one was more pivotal in the 80’s then Madonna. She first sprang into the spotlight in the early 80s (83 I believe, with her first album) and by mid-80s was a household name. She has produced many albums, but …

Another great music video by the newly formed supergroup chickenfoot is soap on a rope. As you may or may not know Chickenfoot is a supergroup featuring Van Halen vocalist Sammy Hagar, Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums and the …

Although not well known in the United States until her song “Possibility” was featured on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack, Swede Lykke Li was already well known in her native country.
