Overview —“ King Nothing, the final music video released by Metallica for their album Load, continues to the band’s original trend of shifting between clips of them playing the song and then a story to explain and accompany the lyrics to the song. Despite the similarity in structure and …

R. Kelly
“Snake”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …

Sometimes it’s good to just listen to music that stands apart from the regular. I find that escape when I listen to 311. Nick Hexum just has such a mellow voice and I love the how reggae sound they mix with the rock sound. Some of my favorite 311 …

We’re In This Together is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track opens up with a pretty light synthesizer part but soon a very dark and much heavier rhythm replaces this light feeling and the song establishes this very dark mood …

Probably the weakest Pink Floyd album ever. Actually, it’s not even a Pink Floyd album, maybe only in name, because it’s written, produced and perfomed by Roger Waters. I see it as a the third CD to the Wall pretty much, since it has the same style, musically. Thematically …
