I reviewed about Amanda Peet on Ellen earlier on, and it made me remember the show Finding Nemo, since her daughter loves Dory the character in the movie so much.
Speaking of Finding Nemo, there is this one song that came to my mind all of a sudden and …

In 1990, Helmet released their debut “Strap It On”, which packed one of the hardest punches of the early 90s. Two years later, they released their follow-up, “Meantime”, which was just as insanely brutal. In an era of some of the greatest rock n roll in history, Helmet came …

Paper Lanterns is a track by Green Day which appears on their first album, 1039/Smoothed Out Happy Hours. Although the introduction of this song sounds like something I’ve heard from Green Day countless times before, I like how it sounds pretty raw and really doesn’t sound all that produced …

When Did You Leave Heaven is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Down In The Groove. The song opens up with a drum rhythm along with some synthesizers which is a sound that Dylan rarely ever experiments with. Thus far the overall sound of …

Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!

One of my favorite artists is Michelle Branch (solo or with The Wreckers). When her album Hotel Paper came out seven years ago, I immediately bought it. Even though it’s seven years old, I still find myself listening to the songs today. The album has many …

ACE FREHLY
Ace’s solo album is widely considered the best of the KISS solo LP’s. (well, John Denver’s sappy music was better than the other three solo KISS LP’s!)
You have to give Ace credit for really letting his talent shine through. This looks like a project he spent a …

Imagine Frank Sinatra being reborn as a college boy in the 21st century, and you will have a fair picture of what singer Michael Buble is all about. I think he has a French last name, although he was born in Burnaby, Canada instead of the Quebecois region …

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 …

I discovered this song via Linkara’s trailer for his 2010 season of “Atop the Fourth Wall”. Someone on TGWTG’s forums was nice enough to post a link telling me what the title of the song was and now it’s in my iTunes library.
