Hype Magazine
I must admit, the one thing that drew me to buying this magazine in the beginning, was the notion of getting a —˜free’ cover Compact Disc at a price equivalent to just under one US Dollar, at the time (around 2006).
I turned out to be a very good buy …

Label: Columbia
Director: Matthew Rolston
This second version of the music video for the song “Listen”, from the “Dreamgirls” soundtrack as well as Beyonce’s second album titled “B-Day”, doesn’t improve upon on the original version in anyway whatsoever. I don’t quite know what the reason is …

System Of A Down - Chop Suey (Music Video)
Overview —“ Chop Suey, another music video and single released by System Of A Down for their second record, Toxicity, is one of their more well known songs, and for good reason I’d say. The song has a lot of energy behind it yet it still has some softer …
Vegeable by Radiohead, track
Vegetable is a track off of Radioheads debut album Pablo Honey which was released in 1993.Vegetable is listed on the album as track number 8. I personally think that this song is an infinite times better than “Creep”. It is such a catchy song and actually rather relaxing.
The song …
The Madding Crowd - Nine Days album

Music Video of Alejandro by Lady Gaga

Call of the Wild (song) by Midge Ure
Call of the Wild is one of my all time favourite songs, even though I am not the world’s biggest fan of the singer in general. I do like a few of his other compositions, but this one really stands out for me. It is unfortunately rather hampered by …
Sing Me a Lullaby by Twila Paris (MP3)
I purchased an MP3 download of Twila Paris’s Sing Me A Lullaby. I first heard this song in one Mother’s Day Presentation on TV. It was sang by Lea Salonga. No exaggeration but as I was listening I could not helped but be moved. The lyrics of the …
Party People (song by Nelly feat. Fergie)
This song is a nice combination of both singers…Nelly and Fergie.
It starts off basically with Nelly leading the pack while Fergie is the main provider of the Chorus of the song with Nelly bringing up the raer or ending of the chorus. She does an absolutely great job in …

Wish, 1992 Album by The Cure
I personally do not like this album. Some of the songs on this album were commercially successful, even though I think that this album is quite boring and dull.
This album is rather long. The previous Cure album, Disintegration, was very good. Disintegration is also a very long album, but …
Miracle Drug (song by, u2)

Flying the Corporate Jet - Nine Days album
If you are looking for some different music to listen to, I would strongly suggest the album put out in 2003, by Nine Days. This is the band that brought you “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” back in 2001, and they’ve continued making music since then, even though …
The Fuzz Box
Looking for a new place to practice with my band I jumped into Google (as usual). A place called the FuzzBox came up and took a look into their website. Not much there on the site but decided to go down and look anyway. It’s actually only five minuets …
Ke$ha: Your Love Is My Drug (song)
This song is the new upcoming single for new pop artist, Kesha. This

Alicia keys - if I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you from Alicia Keys is a song that can become a lifetime soundtrack in my life. Though the song is pretty long ago, but it still great to listen it everytime.
The lyrics and the music both is so great and touch. Like the other …
Album :Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin
i have nothing but the utmost respect for everything that Ozzy Osbourne has done for the world of rock & heavy metal over the years. But being the godfather of metal doesn’t actually mean that you aren’t judged on each individual thing you do.
For example, i think his …

Forever by Drake featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem
You’ll love this song forever! Yes, bad pun. But this song is really cool! The song, a little over 6 minutes, is addicting. Blast in on you iPod, hiss a “yes” when you hear it on the radio, play in at your party. I know I’ve been listening to …
NO DIRECTION HOME,BOB DYLAN
I was surprised to see Star Buck’s Coffee Shop selling C.D.’s. I was more surprised to find the Martin Scorsese Soundtrack of ‘No Direction Home’, with Bob Dylan’s music, there. I bought one, in a hurry! In the 60’s, I was in high school, going to college, getting married, …
Take That - Rule The World - Single
When Take That made their come back this was one of their first songs and to be fair, having never been a Take That it caught my imagination.
The start with Gary Barlows vocal style and the piano just felt so inspired and straight away I felt as though this …
Alice In Chains - Put You Down (Song)
“Put You Down” happens to be track 9 on Alice in Chains album “Facelift”. Although by no means is it considered to be a single, I find it to be one of the better tracks on an already excellent album. Give the song a 30 second listen and tell …
Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar (Music Video)
Overview —“ After watching the extremely emotional and powerful music video for Turn The Page, part of me wanted to watch a video that was like that and had the same effect on me and part of me wanted a fun video just to balance it out. On Whiskey …
Fender Stratocaster (made in Mexico)
Never buy a Fender unless you buy something equal to or better than an American Standard Stratocaster. ALL other Fenders are terrible. I hate them, it’s as if they don’t even try, they don’t even put Humbukkers or anything. Just a solid chunk of plastic and wood that you …

Hoobastank : ForNever
Three years does not make Hoobastank experienced many changes, at least from their style of music. ForNever, the four albums that came after Every Man For Himself in 2006, seemed to be a repetition of this band. My Turn, the first single released on October 13, 2008, is the …
Mariah Carey Hero Single
I believe that world-class diva Mariah Carey’s has it made in the Hero single. Why, she wrote it herself, and sang it as well, and it happens to be one of the songs most popularly requested of her at concerts and charity events. It was Carey herself …
Vampire Weekend - Holiday (Song)

The Doctor by Beenie Man
This is another crappy CD. This is what personally I think. Now, for all those who are not aware, Beenie is actually one of the biggest DJs around in terms of dance music. I would say this album to be pretty good, except for the fact …
Green Day - Misery (Song)
Misery, a track appearing on Green Day’s album Warning, is a song that I will admit actually surprised me significantly. I’ll admit that Warning and the previous few records that Green Day released were quite disappointing, particularly since they proved that they could do so much better, but Warning …
