Bob Dylan - If You See Her, Say Hello (Song)

“Snows In July” song by Craig David

Slick Dogs and Ponies, 2008 Album by Louis XIV

Green Day - Dominated Love Slave (Song)
Dominated Love Slave is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. Something I should mention immediately about this track is that it certainly does not have the traditional sound of Green Day. For one thing, the instrumentation and music on the track certainly doesn’t have …

Finger Eleven - Them Vs. You Vs. Me
Canadian rockers Finger Eleven have been kicking it now for more than eleven years.

But with …

Fall Out Boy-From Under the Cork Tree CD
You may have heard their pervasive song “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down” or seen its inventive “teen with antlers” video. And recently the follow-up single “Dance, Dance” is hitting the airwaves, with another imaginative video evocative of the troubled teen years. I decided to purchase their CD after …
