The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …

Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fifth song on their third album, Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with a distorted guitar riff, the band thankfully have the bass fairly prominently in the mix which is nice to hear after some nice bass fills throughout …

It starts off pretty slow, with the singer following the slow …

Shallow Grave is a song by The Tallest Man On Earth which appears on his record Shallow Graves. The track opens up with an intricate pattern which actually reminds me of a sound that Mumford And Sons would come up with. The vocals come in quickly and I think …

I have been very impressed with this band in the last bit and this CD only reaffirms my faith in them. This CD was given to me as a birthday present from my uncle who also loves these guys, He knew I liked them so when the CD came …

This is actually a very sad song, but it’s real and it speaks something that no one wants to speak about, something that people try to pretend doesn’t exist. But cruelty does exist in this world and it happens all the time. This song is about a girl who …

The Hard Rock band Tesla has always been one of my favorite bands and they were different then most of those glam bands in the Mid 80’s with not only their hard rock looks but with also their Blues/Hard Rock sound. One of the great albums by them …

This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. Of course, only until, you actually experience all those things Dolores O’riordan writes and sings about, only then, can you grasp the essence of this …

Perversions Of Pain is a song by Slayer which appears on their record Diabolus In Musica. The track starts off with a fairly moderate tempo with chords which have a dissonant sound to them before the main riff of the song comes in along with the pounding drum rhythm. …

Rock And Roll is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album Loaded. Opening up with a fairly quick but empty sounding introduction, the intro makes good use of some nice bass fills, but unfortunately really lacks in a guitar riff to hold my attention. Nevertheless, …

Every Breath you take by the Police is a simple song. The song talks about how this guy is saying that every thing his girl does he’ll be watching her cause she belongs to him. This song has a simple beat which I like quite a bit. The lyrics …

Magical Mystery Tour is the title track of a record released by The Beatles. This song is the starting track on the album and it’s actually a pretty good representation of what’s going to follow. The track opens up in a very energetic fashion and actually features an extremely …

Artist: SWV
Video: “Right Here”
Album: It’s About Time
Label: RCA Records
“Right Here” is the first single and music video off of SWV’s debut album “It’s About Time”. In this video, SWV comes across as somewhat of a TLC clone in terms o the clothes they don and the rap verse that …

I think that this is one of the more touching songs that Carrie Underwood has sang. And it speaks of a subject and experience that I hold very close to my heart. I have five brothers and sisters who were in foster care for some time and now that …

I sat and listened to all of these tracks, all twelve of them. Almost fifty minutes of my life was put into this album just so I could write a review. I could have used these fifty minutes playing some Xbox 360 game, gaining achievement points. In these fifty …

At first i knew them by a video on youtube that lots of poeple might know it, since it had A LOT of views, it currently have more than 60 million views and …

To me this is one of the best albums of 2007. The first time I heard “For The Nights I Can’t Remember” on the radio I knew I had to have this album. The lyrics were way better than some in the first album. Songs like “Dying To Live …

Matthew Good’s latest release was released on October 6th 2009, and is called Vancouver. This release is homage to his life growing up in BC. The tracks are deep with profound and clever lyrics much like the rest of his work. There is
not a song on the …

Cotton Eye Joe was a popular dance track in the 1990’s by the band called The Rednex, which as their name suggests, they take upon the gimmick of that of a redneck. Country music, hillbilly blues and some classic techno dance beats! What more can a music fan ask …

HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss seemed to believe they would capture the public’s imagination with this second LP but it didn’t work out that way despite its high quality.
Better than some have suggested.
This one also didn’t sell when first released but greater things was soon to come. Album contains Gene Simmons’ …

I’m Lonely (But I Ain’t That Lonely Yet) is a song by the White Stripes which appears on their album, Get Behind Me Satan. What I like about this song is that it’s extremely stripped down so you really get a sense of what Jack White’s voice sounds like …

New York-based alternative rock newcomer, X Ambassadors might just get away with their new hit, “Renegades”. Already Top 20 in Alternative radios and Top 40 in iTunes, quite a rare feat considering Alternative Rock songs barely smash. But here they are, with a song worthy to take over the …

This is probably the best album I have heard in a long time. It is pretty rare that I buy full albums anymore, since getting single songs is so much less expensive and makes my itunes playlist a whole lot less messy. But I had to get the …

I actually look at Jermaine Jackson as the best singer of the Jackson Family, although I often get shouted at for saying that. Jermaine could have easily gotten to the heights that his brother Michael Jackson did if he had his heart truly into the music, but instead he …

The Manhasset Clarinet stand is a cone shaped stand that comes apart into two pieces. One piece opens into a 3 legged stand which can be screwed onto the cone shaped upper piece.
Likes: One thing that I really like about this stand is the ease of carrying from …

Overview - Blues For Allah, The Grateful Dead’s eighth effort, is primarily a pretty melodic record for the most part and it’s also pretty strong for the most part. Garcia showcases a lot of range in his guitar playing, going from the more melodic soloing on the first two …

Born to Be Wild and Easy Rider is an easy rock song. It is one of the few rock songs that I like. It has a great beat that just gets you to tapping your toes to the beat. It describes how we are all born to be wild …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

What is it with female vocalists thinking that they have to sing every word in the highest possible register? This fact has annoyed me for a long time now and really causes me a lot of frustration when i find symphonic and melodic metal bands that would otherwise be …

Overview —“ The Saints Are Coming, a music video and single released by Green Day in collaboration with U2 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina is certainly a power song and a power video to go with it. Although I really like Green Day, I’m not a huge fan …

One of my favourite musicians when I was much younger was the musician Sheryl Crow. At the time though, I didn’t know what her name was and so I spent years upon years trying to figure out who it was that sung her songs. In fact, I didn’t even …

Doggy is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Campfire Songs. Opening up with an acoustic guitar strumming pattern, the vocals join in the track pretty quickly but they unfortunately sound completely buried in the mix at the song’s opening. Because of this, the vocals feel …

Barbra Streisand and Yves Montand starred in On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, a quirky but really fun movie about a woman with a few unique abilities. It’s also about reincarnation. This is the soundtrack CD from the movie. It’s been digitally remastered and …

It seems that there is nothing that this petite and cute young woman, Miley Cyrus cannot do. She is exceptionally good in singing and that is certainly reflected in her Breakout by Miley Cyrus album. The main reason that I totally support her brand of music is her …

I am sure that some people might not understand the beauty of the music on this album but I personally do find beauty in this music and below I will try to explain why the nine songs that were released by Sonic Youth in 1983 are attractive to me …

When I first heard on Plan B I simply ignored his music. It seemed such an odd name I didn’t think that what he would produce would be anything that good but the more I listen the more I like this guy.
His varied style I really like, his songs …

Contrasting with the preceding track, Fade To Black, Trapped Under Ice is an extremely aggressive Metallica track which I’m sure is pleasing to those listeners who criticized Fade To Black. The lyrics to Trapped Under Ice deal with basically a helpless, and quite dangerous, …

Sounds of the Earth: Waterfall - Sounds Of The Earth Series is an audio CD that does not sound like much as it only offers the constant sound of waterfalls. However, I find that listening to the sound of falling water to be quite relaxing and pleasant. The recording …

Perfect Day by Various Artists is awesome! You guys have to listen to this song, it was featured a few years back. And the video ain’t that bad as well; truly colorful and featuring the various artists as bits of bits the voices sung through.
One line …

“Caution: If you are a soulless men sincere, you are obliged to listen to this soundtrack ” .. (sorry, just kidding). Almost the entire film shows the 300 scene which is very hard and cruel. So also with the music there is in this soundtrack. At the beginning of …

Overview —“ The Unforgiven I, the final music video released by Metallica for support of their record The Black Album is their most symbolic video at this point yet also probably my favorite and their best. Along with Nothing Else Matters, The Unforgiven easily has the most personal lyrics …

On my wedding day I was really concerned about the type of music to play. I chose one particular song for my Audio Visual Presentation, and this song was entitled “This Moment” by Nic Chagall and Jonathan Mendelson.
I first heard it thru Armin Van Buuren’s Universal Religion (2009) album. …

Overview - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, the debut album by Pink Floyd, is an album that I would categorize as being extremely experimental, layered, complex, psychedelic, and even spacey at times. Surprisingly, the band did not really go for any commercial appeal with this album at …

Jack’s Mannequin has done it again. Lead singer and pianist Andrew McMahon has delivered another great album for fans everywhere. This album has many strong points and the lyrics create a beautiful picture for listeners.
Track one: Crashin’ has a great guitar/piano intro that blends into the …
