You’re Beautiful by James Blunt
James Blunt’s song, You’re Beautiful is a lovely song about a man who sees a woman and falls for her. You’re Beautiful is rather fatalistic in that from the beginning, the man declares that he will never be with the girl, so he knows that a relationship will never …

The album “Blackout” by Britney Spears

Sonic Youth - The Eternal

Metallica Kill Em All
Metallica’s debut 1983 album Kill Em All was going to be titled “Metal up your ass” but the record company made them change it before it’s release. This could be Metallica’s most impressive album, technically. The parts are faster then most anything by Metallica, the solos are huge, and …

Eleca guitar
It was my daughter’s 16 birthday and she wanted a guitar. We searched all over for the perfect one and finally found it. The one we chose was called an “Eleca” guitar. The sound is incrediable. It’s a rather large guitar but the sound quality makes it irresistable. It …

Singer Avril Lavigne
I am not personally a big fan of Avril Lavigne, I don’t enjoy the way she jumps from ‘punk rock princess’ to ‘pop queen’ every ten minutes, it gets annoying after a while. She should stick to the genre in which she is best at, that being new age …
