Baduizm by Erykah Badu
Looking at the CD cover of Baduizm by Erykah Badu, I am totally amazed. There is no close singer like Erykah Badu and I think her image is totally unique and very original. She is unpretentious and there are just so many good things about this CD album.
To …
Marshall JCM 2000 Head
I recently purchased a very good marshall head that may have had a ripped logo and was torn and used but I really liked the professional tone to it. It was only 600 dollars and was a Marshall JCM 2000 super lead from 2004. I also knew this was …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Kitty Kat”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Melina and Beyonce

The Outsiders soundtrack CD
I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …
Baby 81 2007 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Well, I think that this album is good, but not as good as other BRMC albums, like their first record, “Take Them On, On Your Own”, and, of course, “Howl”, the latter, from my point of view, being their very best album.
To appreciate and assess this album (Baby 81), …
The Birthday Massacre, Alternative Techno Rock
This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …
Birdy (singer)
I was introduced to the music of the English singer Birdy by one of my closest friends. To be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled with her music when I first listened to a number of her songs since I thought that she was unbelievably boring, especially after listening to …
Silverchair - Neon Ballroom Album

Green Day - Homecoming (Song)
Homecoming, the second musical epic of this album along with Jesus Of Suburbia, is honestly just as good as Jesus Of Suburbia in my opinion. I praise both of these tracks heavily, not so much because the parts themselves are brilliant but because the whole song is very well …
The Who - Tommy (Side I)
Overview —“ Side I of Tommy, The Who’s rock opera, is a track which starts out with probably one of their best songs up to this point but unfortunately goes downhill from there. After listening to Overture, I truly was in awe and I expected a really well written …
Frank Zappa- Montana ( song)
In the song Montana off the Apostrophe album Zappa explains his life as if he were a cattle rancher in the state of Montana. The vocals in this song are interesting because Frank utilizes a lot of metaphors like dental floss being compared to rope it’s kind of funny. …
Bigfoot
Usually I’m good with words, but I’m finding it hard to describe just how amazing this band is. It’s a shame not many have heard of them, this is a band every rock-lover should hear! I guess you could say I’ve heard “Nothing Like This” before!
Heh, little reference to …

Show Your Bones, 2006 Album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

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 …

With this release, they set the standard even higher for Sludge- something that didn’t …

Blood Sugar Sex Magik, 1991 Album by Red Hot Chili Peppers
