For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t like the band Cracker—¦ but I do anyway. I suppose it’s what the band calls “Cracker Soul” that moves me. It’s that intangible there is in music that is added by pure feeling. Cracker songs are simple; easy chord progressions repeated …

MYMP is a duo from the Philippines whose music is more of an accoustic type. The members include Juris, the female lead singer and Chin, the guitarist and sometimes he does some vocals. Their music is so relaxing.
In their debut album, they really catch the heart of so …

It’s a little too late is a good song remake by singer Toby Keith. I have heard the original version and I have to be honest, I like Toby Keith’s version much better. It may be because I love the video and his humor. Toby Keith has an amazing …

Why are many musicians who move to the country music genre? After Bon Jovi, Joan Osborne, Darius Rucker and Jessica Simpson, Jewel also switched to country music. But perhaps among the names above, only the most fit Jewel singing country. Or maybe because the background of childhood from Jewel …

“P.E. 2000″
Forever

I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …

I could be listening to Let It Be a Secret - Biarlah Rahsia by Siti Nurhaliza for numerous times and still am not bored with it. This song is very melodramatic, very sad, poignant at its best and sung by the ever so popular Malaysian top singer, Siti Nurhaliza. …

I picked up The Stampeders newest CD ‘Sure Beats Working’ at their Canada Day concert in Dartmouth Nova Scotia.

This CD contains 14 tracks, and The Stampeders have used business savvy …

For No One is a track which appears on The Beatles’ record Revolver and written by bassist Paul McCartney. I will admit that I typically prefer John Lennon greatly over McCartney, mostly because of how I prefer Lennon’s more psychedelic style of writing, but I have to say that …

R. Kelly
“Snake”

I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …

Maggie May was one of the first big hits that Rod Stewart ever recorded and it is still just as popular today with those who remember when it was released and new generations of Rod Stewart fans. This is the ultimate Rod Stewart song and it essential to have …

Burton’s movies, while not perfect adaptations of Batman, did get quite a bit right. Burton did have a solid understanding of the dynamics between characters. It’s true Joker did not really kill Bruce’s parents, but I understand why they set it up that way. While he …

Memories is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Hurley. Oddly, the song opens up with an abstract sounding intro before going into the rest of the track which carries the very characteristic Weezer power pop sound. The intro personally seemed a bit disjointed from the rest …

Overview —“ A Secret Place, a third single released by Megadeth for their seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a much better track than the previous single, Almost Honest, and quite an improvement. A Secret Place isn’t as interesting as a lot of the tracks off of Megadeth’s earlier records …
