GHS Electric Boomers guitar strings

The Ramones band
Even though the band “The Ramones” became popular in the seventies and I mostly listen to a lot of newer bands, they have always been and still remain one of my faovurite punk rock bands. At first I thought that they were actually an English band since that is …
Anita Baker (singer)
Back in the nineteen nineties when I was a child, Anita Baker’s songs would play a lot on the radio. Since they would play so often, I ended up disliking her music then, and also thinking of it as being boring. However, it has only been recently since I …
Metal of Honor Stovokor

Weezer - Run Over By A Truck (Song)

Vuvuzela plastic musical horn
I would have thought that just about everyone by now, at least out of those people who have some sort of interest in football and who have been watching the World Cup (or listening to it on the radio), would have come across the vuvuzela, the one-note plastic trumpet …

ProCo Vintage Rat Reissue
The Rat is my favourite distortion/fuzz pedal. This pedal is always on my board and I’m always using it as my ‘go to’ distortion. It’s so versitile, with sounds ranging from just a slight boost to a full blown rough fuzz. It’s very easy to use and …

The Mighty Rio Grande, song by This Will Destroy You

E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey album doesn’t disappoint. At a moment when I thought that there might be lesser and perhaps then extinct singing voice from Mariah Carey, she surprises me up with an album.

Journey to the Past (1997): Aaliyah
Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack
Atlantic Records
Ah, I’m not so quite sure what they were thinking when they made this video. Don’t get me wrong, Aaliyah does what she does best, it’s just this video that is not ‘at its best’. Is it me or do all music videos …
Panopticon black-metal band - Roads to the North album
Panopticon is a one-man black-metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The band is sole member Austin Lunn, who in my opinion is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.

Coal Miner’s Daughter
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. …
Slayer - Violent Pacification (Song)

Black Dog soundtrack CD

Muse - Time Is Running Out (Song)
Now that I’m listening to a bit more of Muse’s music I’m realizing that a lot of it actually isn’t driven by guitar very much at all, and this is quite a contrast to the music which I’m typically accustomed to listening to. Obviously Muse does have guitar parts …
The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Song)

Glow After Dark By JLo
