Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp
I have been listening to John Cougar since I was a teenager. We could all identify with his music and this song was a huge part of it. Ain’t that America was one of John Cougars biggest hits and it’s easy to see why. He sings about different types …
Kings of Leon
I first heard about Kings of Leon right around when they came on the scene which, I believe, was back in 2005. The first video I saw of theirs was “Four Kicks”. I liked the song’s kind of punchy, in your face sound, and the video was all around …

I am a music lover. I love different types of music and I also love to play the guitar and piano. As I have said, I just love music. I do not have a music preference. I have music favorites which are slow, others are fast and some are …
Josef K Entomology
Josef K were a short-lived four-piece post-punk band. The paranoia and brittleness implicit in their namesake, the protagonist in Frank Kafka’s “The Trial” was echoed by their sound. They played spare, taut, danceable discount funk. For those looking for comparison, this can be likened to Fear of Music era …

When I hear Lindsay Lohan would release an album, I’m not sure about her capability on vocal in singing, but after I listen her songs, I can say that’s pretty much good. Confession of a broken heart is one of Lindsay Lohan’s song that I like.
Confession of broken a …

Holton Farkas H179 French Horn
As a college graduation present, my grandmother offered to buy me a horn. I wanted a Conn 8D like my professor and all the really good horn players had. I settled on the Holton Farkas model because it was more in our price range ($1200).
This …
The Beatles - I’m So Tired (Song)

The Cars - Tonight She Comes (song)
“Tonight She Comes” was a previously unreleased song by the band The Cars. The song appeared on their 1985 Greatest Hits album. Just the thought that they knew the song would be a hit, and the nerve to put it on a “Greatest Hits” album is just amazing. How …

No Scrubs by TLC
No Scrubs by TLC is a song that is really cool in my opinion because it talks about how this girl does not want no Scrub. She then goes on to diss him in the song. This song in my opinion is like how I am when a guy …
Fender Frontman 10G: 10w Guitar Amplifier
I got the Fender Frontman 10G with a “starter pack” from Guitar Center, which also included a Stratocaster and etc accessories. As suggested, I was pretty new to the guitar and didn’t really need anything massive to practice with. I found no problem entirely using the small 10w amp …
Epicon
I have always been a gigantic fan of orchestral music, so breaking out of the classical composer oriented soundtrack variety is somewhat refreshing, especially because of the cinematic sound that permeates Globus’s debut album, “Epicon”. Needless to say, I was impressed with it and would certainly like to hear …
Death Cab For Cutie - Your Bruise (Song)
Your Bruise is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their debut record, Something About Airplanes. Opening up with a repeating and simple guitar pattern, the song establishes a pretty brooding atmosphere which the vocals thankfully take advantage of with a vocal delivery that is both …

Slayer - Disciple (Song)
Disciple is a song by Slayer which starts out with a somewhat slow rhythm in comparison to an average Slayer song to be honest. When Araya first came in I thought his vocal tone was going to be absolutely terrible, and although it seems slightly bad on this track, …

Bon Jovi - Always - Single

The Life Aquatic Soundtrack
The Life Aquatic is a pretty good movie. I’m sure you’ll agree with me, especially if you’ve seen it. It follows well in the tradition of the Wes Anderson movies. And one of the hallmarks of his (or their) films is they always contain a stellar …
Album : Mad Maze - No Time Left… [E.P]
How good has it been over the last few years to be a fan of thrash metal!! I like loads of different kinds of music, more than most people i know, but old-school thrash metal will always hold a special little place in my heart as it’s the music …
Green Day - Are We The Waiting (Song)
Are We The Waiting is a track which follows in a similar mood as Boulevard Of Broken Dreams as it’s a significantly slower track which has slightly a darker tone to it, although to no real extreme. Ironically this is also the first track on American Idiot which didn’t …
Madonna : Hard Candy
Albums of the 11th Madonna released, could be described as an ambitious project from Madonna. 12 songs with up-beat tempo, many include elements of hip-hop, although still strong in the style of Madonna.

This song starts off and keeps a dancey …
She’s Royal (song by, Tarrus Riley)
She’s Royal is the first hit release from Tarrus Riley, a new singer on the reggae scene. This song is such a beautiful and wonderful song. It basically praises the woman he is singing about. It would make any girl feel special.

When You Say Nothing At All by Allison Krauss
When You Say Nothing At All is the best song that Allison Krauss ever recorded, in my opinion. It is the most amazing love song that you will ever hear. From lyrics to the beat, it is the most romantic song I can think of. She is telling her …
Sigur Ros - Takk [CD]
Ever since I started listening to Sigur Ros, I have been entranced by their music. Large, sweeping guitar lines and fragile vocals that could be likened to whale song, their music ought to be the very definition of the recently-dubbed genre they are attributed to: ‘landscape rock’ [though also …
Men Without Hats (music group)
As I mentioned in a couple other reviews, I like dance and electronic music. However, at one point in my life, I had a love for eighties dance and new wave music. Now most of what I would hear would be from listening to songs being played on the …
