California Gurls video is sweet. It has a lot of candies, jelly, chocolate and sexy girls. According to my research, the video is inspired by the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. Actually Katy looks like Alice that is wandering in Wonderland. I had fun …

Don’t take Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D too seriously. If not, you will not like the music at all. Instead, if you just listen for pleasure, doing some things while listening and putting on this CD music while the guests are in your home for a birthday party …

Hollywood Undead released their debut album “Swan Songs” in August 2008. It’s hard to describe their music genre, as they pull from so many different styles. They are most commonly referred to as rap rock, but I feel their music goes so beyond that label.
The …

It is hard to believe that this album was recorded back in 2000. It feels like I bought it only recently, even though, chronologically, it must have been sometime in 2002. Well, I remember how I was making a superficial assessment of this album at the time. At first …

Pretty Peggy-O is a traditional song which is covered by Bob Dylan that appears on his self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that the version of this song which I was always familiar with was the version by The Grateful Dead, a version which I actually enjoy quite …

Remix singles have the potential to do many things for listeners, but remix music videos are a hit and miss game when it comes down to it. The remix for Aaliyah’s signature hit, “One …

I grew up in a house full of music. My father is a Grammy-award winner. We were raised on good music. I believe one of the pioneers of music today is definitely the band Bon Iver, led by Justin Vernon. I’ve seen a lot of great indie concerts over …

It’s You is a song by Animal Collective and the first track to open their 2005 EP, Prospect Hummer. Opening up with the vocals of Vashti Bunyan who is present throughout the record, Animal Collective establish a sound which reminds me of the melodic sounds heard all throughout Campfire …

In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …

If you are a jazz-lover and you love the vintage songs of George Gershwin, you should purchase this CD.
This CD is a mixture of bebop jazz, free-form jazz, and classical piano music.
Hancock’s original arrangements make this music experience unique.
The old Gershwin vocals: “The Man I Love” and “Summertime” sung …

The popularity of Just the Way you are, the first single of Bruno Mars from his album Doo-Woops and Hooligans, is the reason why I keep following him from the day one. I just accidentally switched television channel when I saw the music video of Grenade. The song is …

Overview - Desire, Bob Dylan’s seventeenth studio album, features a lot of storytelling lyrics and even biographical lyrics, as heard on Hurricane and on Joey. To be honest, most of these tracks just strike me as solid but there are also some tracks which I personally think are good …

Overview - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, the debut album by Jefferson Airplane, is an album that really isn’t all that similar to their later work, although this does happen quite a bit with debut albums. If you’re associating Jefferson Airplane with psychedelic rock, which isn’t a problem, then this …

The song Jolean was sung by Dolly Pardon. This song reminds me of how several men cheat on their wives and how the wives will fight to keep their man. I’m not sure of why the women would want to fight for a man that cheated on them because …

Overview - The Roland Cube 30X is a modeling amplifier, meaning it has a channel where it replicates sounds of other amps, eight to be exact, and also a clean channel. The main reason that I decided to buy this amplifier was that I needed an amp which had …

KISS
A rock and roll classic! One of the best LP’s of the 1970’s.
This was the bands first album and it debuted in 1973 and no one bought it (it ended up going platinum after the band became a worldwide sensation) An underrated masterpiece.
1973 was too early for the world …

And just what were U2 thinking when they were recording, and subsequently, releasing this album? It is one of the mysteries I have always been puzzled by. I am a huge U2 fan. Probably, currently not as big of a fan as I was in the past, in my …

This is probably one of the most heartbreaking, tear-wrenching songs I have ever heard. It is based on a true story, and one of Tay’s rare songs that doesn’t sing about boys and one-sided love. It tells of a young mother’s groundbreaking sorrow of losing her beloved youngest son …

Light My Fire is a song by The Doors which appears on their self-titled debut record. Light My Fire is one of the better known songs by The Doors and there isn’t any reason as to why it shouldn’t be. There’s always those songs which are pretty well known …

I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …

I think these guys for the most part are fabulous. I have played violin for 18 years and while I don’t know that they played such a complex song to get them really noticed, they are innovative and smart and I think they have something going. They are cute …

When Take That appeared on the X-Factor this year, 2010, I thought it was really something. The show did the big intro as they also do when a star is about to perform live on the show but there was something about this intro. It was the first …

Alvin Row is a song by Animal Collective and the final song on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with a dissonant sound from the start, I must admit that I’m slightly discouraged by this considering the fact that this is the longest song …

R. Kelly
“I Believe I Can Fly”
“Space Jam” Soundtrack
Jive Records
Director: Hype Williams
R. Kelly decides to put away the sex-me-up attitude and persona for a little while and does a PG gig for a change. Seriously, I would love to know who on planet Earth thought R. Kelly and “Space Jam” …

This is such a cool, creative song! I love it, it’s been one of my daily songs… one of those that dont leave your head, kind of your theme song of the day perhaps you would say? Well Mike Posner- I got to hand it to him, his voice …

“Crazy Love” by Michael Buble is the latest album by a young man who has been quietly building a reputation as a modern-day Frank Sinatra. He draws upon a similar body of music and brings to it a freshness that it surprising in a canon which most observers would …

This is a greatest hits collection of songs from Type O Negative. The album was hastily thrown together and released with a generic album cover, and without the consent of the band, Roadrunner Records had the right to do it, so they did. This collection could be the reason …

Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …

The song “The Sound of Silence” by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel a.k.a Simon and Garfunkel (who was a musical duo who became popular in the mid 60’s)was created with a great deal of wisdom. It was like the composer/s was in a trance while writing this. …

Artist: Destiny’s Child
Video: Bills, Bills, Bills
Album: The Writings On The Wall
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Darren Grant
Ah yes, this was the era of ‘male-bashing’. First, TLC came onto the scene with “No Scrubs” in early 1999 and then a whole bunch of similar sounds followed shortly after - “Where My Girls …

The first time I heard this song was when I was nine and you would not imagine that age I certainly understood what this song is all about. Don’t forget me is an old song coming from Captain and Tennille the husband and wife team. This is a good …

I think that the 1999 Issues is Korn’s greatest work. It is the first album by them that I got hold of, and I was strongly impressed by the music. I was rather young when I got a hold of this record, it was before their 2002 release Untouchables, …

I recently came across a featured video on youtube by a hardcore band named Revocation. The song Is called Dismantle the Dictator and even though im not a big hardcore kind of metal guy. Im more into the classic rock style and some other styles of rock. I really …

I think that this album is very interesting. I think that this album is significantly underestimated. I personally find many ways in which this album is more interesting than the 1992 release called Wish.
I remember how I first got acquainted with this album. I was told by a friend …

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 …

As a lady, listening to Reunion by Black Sabbath takes a good amount of courage from me, I have to say. I was given this track as a birthday present last year and I’ve yet to find out who the “mystery” user was up till now. The …

Slow Motion is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album The Soft Bulletin. Contrary to the name, the track actually opens up with a fairly fast tempo, but it’s nothing too quick. Continuing on, Coyne comes in with the vocal melody for this track pretty …

Thirteenth Step is the second studio album from one of my favourite bands, “A Perfect Circle”. It was released a little before my birthday when I was a teenager in 2003, and has become one of my preferred rock music albums to play especially in its entirety. As someone …

I have read several reviews of this album that state that this is the long-expected come-back album by Oasis. People make claims that, after releasing numerous second-rate and pointless albums Oasis have finally recorded an album which is as good as their 1995 hit album (What’s the story) Morning …

The first time that I even heard of the band “Awolnation” was when someone I knew introduced me to their song “Sail”. Afterwards I haven’t heard much of them on neither the media nor anywhere else, but I still listen to their music from time to time.
In case …

Nickelback makes great music. The sound is awesome and I really enjoy listening to their sound. I love the drums that are played in most of their songs. The music that flows from Nickelback’s band is nothing short of great. Nickelback rarely makes bad music and they haven’t made bad …

Weekend Wars is the second track off of MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. When I first started listening to MGMT, Weekend Wars was one of the first tracks to really jump out at me. I will say that compared to Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars changes much more, and …

I was digging through some of my CDs the other day, looking for something different to listen to in the car (we don’t have decent radio stations here). I ended up coming across my Joe Diffie: Third Rock from the Sun album and ended up listening to that.
I have …
