Nobody Can Change Me by Nicole Sherzinger
Nobody can change me is another girl power song that became my favorite. The song is so powerful. The song is about decision, differences, respect and individuality. Not all women are okay to be dictated. Even if they are in relationship they still have the right to decide what …
Don’t Turn The Lights On - Chromeo
I am a huge fan of music that has a distinct eighties vibe to it, not least of which music actually made in the eighties. There is just something about the use of cheesy synths and rhythm inspired pop base lines that just keeps me listening without question. For …

Nessun Dorma by Paul Potts

Primer 55-New Release CD
Primer 55 isn’t a very well-known band, although I believe they had a song on a popular soundtrack, perhaps the Resident Evil movie? But this CD is quite a solid effort, maybe even great if you’re into the kind of hardcore tinged with funk sound they bring. …
Queens of the Stone Age - Quick and to the Pointless (song)

Version 2.0, 1998 Album by Garbage
I like Version 2.0 a lot more than Version 1.0, the debut album released by Garbage, and called Garbage, even though, it should have been called Version 1.0, for the name of the second album to make a little more sense. But the title is kind of memorable nonetheless. …

Album: I Am empire - Kings (2011)

MGMT - The Handshake (Song)

Michael Buble’s Home Single

The album “Blackout” by Britney Spears
Blackout is the fifth studio album by Britney Spears. It is one of her most successful studio albums. It has more r&b and urban sound with the collobration of Danja.

Radiohead’s Creep Video
An incredibly moving and well laid symbolic interpretation of the song ‘Creep’ by Radiohead. I was blown away by the quality of the flash movie, but more than this (and you will have to wait until the end to see what I mean if you haven’t seen it before), …
