Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …

Boston Grand Piano GP-178
The Boston series of pianos resulted as a collaboration between piano manufacturers Steinway and Kawai, with Steinway supplying the design and Kawai managing the production. The Boston GP-178, in particular, is my favorite of this series largely because it possesses good string speaking length for great sound while remaining …
The Righteous Brothers (musical group)
I think that one classic soul group a lot of people, young and old would be familiar with would be the one called “The Righteous Brothers”. While I don’t think that a lot of young people would necessarily know the group immediately by name, since I didn’t either …

Robbie Williams “Escapology” album
In my opinion, Robbie Williams’ 2002 album titled “Escapology” is the perfect pop album. It’s my favourite Robbie Williams album to date, and is one I never get sick of. Even after all these years, I still enjoy listening to all the songs on this album. The …

Move Shake Drop (song by Pitbull, feat. DJ Laz and Flo Rida)

Kill at Will: Ice Cube CD
Wow what can I say this Kill at Will album by Ice Cube was very violent! He was very pissed, and he spoke his mind on this album. Kill at Will has very explicit lyrics, and he is very violent on the album. This is a great album to …
Rubber Soul (The Beatles Album)
The reason I decided to review this album in particular is because I consider it to be one of the most underrated albums of all time. You are probably thinking, “HAH! The Beatles… underrated?!” Yes, yes I’ve heard it before, but I’ve held onto my opinion over the years, …

Lip gloss by Lil Mamma

Nine Inch Nails - Somewhat Damaged (Song)
Somewhat Damaged is a track by Nine Inch Nails which appears on The Fragile. Somewhat Damaged starts out with sort of an awkward guitar riff and then an even stranger drum pattern which makes the song sound pretty eerie as it first starts out. Reznor comes in with the …
Megadeth - Paranoid (Song)
Paranoid is a cover by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. Hopefully if you’re a fan of metal then you’ll know that the original version of this song is by Black Sabbath and that you’ve heard the track before. If not, then I’d highly recommend first listening …
Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland
Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland is about how much Nelly likes Kelly. This song is a love song if I have never even heard it and just read reviews about it I would figure that much out. This song is an awesome song in my book but that�s …

Im With You, 2011 Album by Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Lungs” Album by Florence & The Machine

Eagles of Death Metal - I Want You So Hard (Song)
The Eagles Of Death Metal are a somewhat newer band that caught my attention. Being a Queens of The Stone Age fan, I really found this band to be quite different but at the same time very intriguing. It’s kind of hard to describe, it just feels… sleazy when …
The Beat of My Heart by Hilary Duff
This song makes no sense, but then again, it’s being sung by a teenager who knows nothing really about love. Not only that, this song really annoying due to that fact that it’s hard on the ears. The majority of this song is repeating itself over and over again …

ESP/LTD V-401 Guitar
Overview —“ The ESP/LTD, V-401 is ESP’s response to all our companies putting out V shaped guitars, which is pretty much every company to be honest. Just a note, I don’t personally own this guitar but I’m currently in the market for one so I decided to play one …
Emily Schonberg
If there was ever a voice that could carry me to sleep, lift me up to a higher place, and make me smile all at once, the sweet sound of original writer and cover artist Emily Schonberg is all of these things and more.

One step closer (song by, u2)

Shooting Shark by Blue Oyster Cult
The band Blue Oyster cult has a really big 80s hit off their album The Revölution by Night in 1983. It was the largest single off that album. This song was featured on a poor selling Cult album but I really like it because it fits the time of …
Teenage Dream Music Video by Katy Perry
This video used the most simple scenes to make the video so extra special. It gave me a feeling of happiness whenever I watched it and it filled my head with good memories when I was in high school. I wouldn’t think a video by Katy Perry would be …

Soundgarden: Louder Than Love
The sophomore jinx? No, not for this band. Soundgarden’s second album, Louder Than Love is a testament to their domination over pretenders at the time. And one song says it better than any: Big Dumb Sex. The title alone is intriguing enough that it warrants a listen.
There are some …
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 …
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
