I am a guitar player and I am carrying my guitar constantly. To gigs, band practice, or even school. My guitar case by the brand road runner is great and very reliable. The top pocket is good for my picks and my other important accessories for maintenance and …
Memory of A Longing Love by Spoon
Memory of A Longing Love or also what it is called as ‘Memori Sekuntum Rindu’ is very poignant, sweeping and sad. I have teared a few times whilst listening to this song, sung by the band Spoon.

Queens Of The Stone Age Lullabies To Paralyze
After the Success of the band last album this left them with more freedom on Lullabies, they got rid of Nick Oliveri, this is unfortunate but doesn’t slow the band down any, Troy Van Leeuwen of A perfect Circle fame (among many other bands he’s been in), Joey Castillo …
Muse - Time Is Running Out (Song)
Now that I’m listening to a bit more of Muse’s music I’m realizing that a lot of it actually isn’t driven by guitar very much at all, and this is quite a contrast to the music which I’m typically accustomed to listening to. Obviously Muse does have guitar parts …
MGMT - Weekend Wars (Song)
Weekend Wars is the second track off of MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. When I first started listening to MGMT, Weekend Wars was one of the first tracks to really jump out at me. I will say that compared to Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars changes much more, and …
The Rolling Stones - Yesterday’s Papers (Song)
Yesterday’s Papers is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on Between The Buttons. Something interesting about Yesterday’s Papers is that the track has sort of a psychedelic sound to it. For one, the background vocals seem to have sort of a fade in and out effect which …

Pray by Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber. You love him. You despise him. You are in the middle. Regardless everyone has their own distinct opinion of Justin Bieber. If any song is going to convince Bieber haters to see a positive side of the singer it’s his inspirational song “Pray.” Or it will just …
My Friend - Groove Armada
Like the band’s name Groove Armada, their song sounds groove too. Like this song ‘My friend’, it’s not a new song from them, but I really like it, because whenever I listen it sounds new for me.
The song sounds easy listening, it can calm down your mind when …
Mono M80 bass guitar case (Musical Instrument Accessory)
It’s every musician’s dream to go on the road and tour. But that also means he has to subject his beloved gear to the rigorous tortures of travel. It’s always a wise move to invest in a guitar case that could help prevent your gear from sustaining …
Kyuss - El Rodeo (song)
“El Rodeo” happens to be on Kyuss last studio album …And The Circus Leaves Town. Although the actual album wasn’t Kyuss best albums compared to the excellent “Blues for the Red Sun” and equally good “Welcome to Sky Valley”, it did churn out this little diddy. “El Rodeo” happens …
Andy Williams: Merry Christmas CD
Andy Williams is one of my favorite singers. He has a warm and tender voice that can lull me to sleep or take me away to unknown parts of the world. I can sing along with him, or just let him serenade me. His voice is …

The UK’s favourite Indie rockers returned this summer with their fourth studio album, entitled Suck It and See.

Static-X Machine
Machine is Static-X’s second album, released in May of 2001 on Warner Bros Records. The album introduction starts with a sound that makes you think you may have the wrong album, and then picks up big time with Get To The Gone, Permanence, Black And White, This Is Not, …
Bob Dylan - Freight Train Blues (Song)
Freight Train Blues is a song performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a fairly hectic harmonica section and I will say right away that compared to other songs on Dylan’s debut album, Freight Train Blues has a bit more …
Eminem - Relapse
I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)
Eminem comes back after a very long pause (at least for me). Since the “Encore” which was released in 2004 …
Peeping Tom - Sucker (song)
“Sucker” is a Peeping Tom off of their album “Peeping Tom”. Peeping Tom is just one of the many associated acts and bands that Mike Patton either formed or contributes to. What made me want to review this particular song “Sucker” is that it quite oddly features the beautiful …

Lenny Kravitz (musician)

Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …
What Was Lost
The new two-member (Mike Sheppard & Vicky Backle) indie band, What Was Lost, from Vernon, New Jersey seem to have a unique and emotional style. I’m not too sure whether it’s the slow, sad voices or the crying of the guitar that makes this band so touching, but …

A Day to Remember’s What Separates Me From You album
What Separates Me From You by A Day to Remember is their best album yet. The songs are a little bit different than their original works, but definitely in a positive way.
The tracks are more clean-cut and sound far better than any album A Day to Remember has …

Results May Vary, 2004 Album by Limp Bizkit
This record is appalling. I remember coming to this conclusion as soon as I listened to this record for the first time, and I still believe that this is the case. There is really nothing redeeming that can ever be said about this album, from my point of view, …
Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits
Bruce Springsteen’s Greatest Hits CD definitely contains some great songs: ‘Born to Run’, ‘Thunder Road’, and ‘Atlantic City’ among them. It also includes the first release of the awesome ‘This Hard Land’. I am a huge Bruce fan, so it almost pains me to say that this collection should …
UFO-Strangers in the Night (album)
I don’t know much about the classic hard rock band UFO but I heard they had Michael Shenker who happens to be the brother of Rudolph Shenker of the Scorpions and they both are amazing guitarists with a very similar style in the way they play. On itunes …
Trav’lin’ Light by Peggy Lee
I like finding new old recordings. If I can find an early recording of an artist that I like, I’m ecstatic. Recently I found “Trav’lin’ Light” featuring Peggy Lee and I was in my element. I listened to it twice in a row and enjoyed it immensely both times. …
Caramelldansen
I can’t break free of this song. It’s not so much stuck in my head as I am just strangely addicted to it. It’s incredibly catchy. I don’t know what the draw is because at face value it’s a techno song that sounds a little like …

The Bleeding is Cannibal Corpse’s fourth album, and last to feature Chris Barnes on vocals, who is now the vocalist for Six Feet Under. The album was released in 1994 on Metal Blade Records, and produced by Scott Burns. The album is not as fast all the way through, …
311 band
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 …
Johnny Cash
I own every Johnny Cash CD, and have a huge signed photograph of him blown up on my wall. I have been a huge fan of his for many years now, and will continue to be even now after he has passed away. The legacy lives on in his …
Bob Dylan - Blue Moon (Song)
Blue Moon is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Self Portrait. The song is a cover so I’ll just focus on Dylan’s execution of the song. Right from the start you can hear that Dylan’s singing in more of his country croon rather than his …
