Start a Band

For a young artist, miley cyrus is pretty talented, she can act and sing. First time I thought that she can’t sing, but after her song, I think its good enough though I don’t like her behaviour, her song is goog enough to listen. Like this one, seven things.

Garbage, 1995 album by Garbage
This album catapulted the band to worldwide fame, but I personally do not find the album all the strong. I think that this album has a very deep discrepancy between the different songs on it. Some of the songs are impressive and deserved to become the hits that they …
All Mixed Up by 311
I so love the song All Mixed Up by 311. Even though this is a song featured years back, I just could not forget the whole hype surrounding this song.

GO GO GO Beauty
Usually, I avoid character songs. Not that I hate them, or that they’re always bad, but they just sound odd sometimes. But Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei already has the girls singing in the openings and endings. One of my favorite character songs of theirs is this song, by Yuu Kobayashi.
It …

Sure, …
“The Slugs” by The Slugs (Dbl 7″, 1981)
The Slugs were a short-lived punk band out of NYC who, like many punk bands of the time, made their mark in the punk scene with just two 45’s- one in 1979 and another in 1980. In 1981 both were re-released in one sleeve, making for a killer combination …
Bob Dylan - Masters Of War (Song)

Billy Ray Cyrus: Southern Rain CD

The Bends, 1995 Album by Radiohead
I think that The Bends is the album that best defines Radiohead. Of course one could find numerous reasons why OK Computer is a better record, but to me personally The Bends will always be on a par with OK Computer, even though it is lacking in some features …
Take That - Greatest Day - Single
I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

Defense Remix (song by, Machel Montano feat. Lil John & Pitbull)
I first heard the song entitled Defense on a local radio station and I was instantly hooked to it. This was mainly because of the background music which is just addictive and just makes you feel like getting up and dancing as soon as you hear it. It wasn’t …

Sonic Youth is one of the most influential bands in the history of alternative rock music, and the 1992 Dirty is one of their best albums.

Music Video of “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga

Between The Buried and Me: The Parallax Part 2: Future Sequence
Between the Buried and Me (BTBAM) is a progressive metalcore band. Yeah that’s right, that —˜shouty angry’ music your dad really hates, but with more spice and flavour. To someone not used to this sort of music I can see it being a challenge to listen to, with dissonance, …

Tanya Tucker: Can’t Run from Yourself CD

Like A Stone - Audioslave
I have come to terms with the fact that most song writers lose their edge as they get older, and create more and more boring music. I guess it is just a fact of aging that people calm down and get more settled into a decent lifestyle, then decide …
J. Holiday: Round 2
I just downloaded J.Holiday’s newest CD Round 2, & I got to say that its one of my newest favorite CDs. He has a song for almost everything we go through at one level or another. This CD is one of the most relatable CDs that I …
