Music Reviews
Soulja Boy
I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …

I have been a Napster customer for over a year and I am very pleased with their service. When you log in, you are taken to the home page, where new music is highlighted. I like to take a quick peek and sometimes I listen to a track …
Eminem - Lose Yourself - Single
For me, one of the best songs of all time. Whatever people think of Eminem, or rap music, I just love it.
This song was for his film 8 mile and once you watch the film it all makes sense, but to me it all made sense prior to the …

Warbringer- “Waking into Nightmares” music album
Warbringer U.S. debut a year ago the album “War Without End.” I remember how I got him to describe, not knowing quite what to expect. The wave of retro-thrash bands that inspired the old masters are trying to boards of their power in the now very popular genre might …
4-2-10 Awake Tonight tour (TobyMac, Skillet, House of Heroes)
The first band, House of Heroes, played a very short set (only 4 songs) and didn’t seem to catch the crowd’s attention very well. They had an energetic show, just not a lot of stage presence. I had done my homework and learned the words to some of the …
The Life Aquatic Soundtrack
The Life Aquatic is a pretty good movie. I’m sure you’ll agree with me, especially if you’ve seen it. It follows well in the tradition of the Wes Anderson movies. And one of the hallmarks of his (or their) films is they always contain a stellar …

Dig Out Your Soul, 2008 Album by Oasis
I have read several reviews of this album that state that this is the long-expected come-back album by Oasis. People make claims that, after releasing numerous second-rate and pointless albums Oasis have finally recorded an album which is as good as their 1995 hit album (What’s the story) Morning …
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie - Music Video and Single
I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …

Together with Mogwai back in the early 1990s, Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the team of musicians that made post-rock into a musical genre of its own, taking a bit of influence from a bands like Slint and Savage Republic. They have never declared themselves as a “band” by …

Radiohead - Creep (Song)
Creep is a song by Radiohead which appears on their debut record, Pablo Honey. Before I begin, I know that Creep is one of Radiohead’s most well known songs, but I want to stress that this truly isn’t what Radiohead has come to sound like. While Creep, and all …

American punk-rock band Green Day released their latest album in 2009. 21st Century Breakdown takes the group further along their progression towards conventional, radio-friendly pop-rock, but with a more grand, “classic rock” style which gives the work a little more credibility. It has three, five-track long “acts”, …
Broken Strings by James Morrison song
This is one of the songs that broke my heart. Not anyone may have experienced what the writer must have felt. But I do. I really do. Maybe that’s the reason why it appealed to me that much.
Technically judging, the tune is not that sad enough to mean what …
Classic (song) by Adrian Gurvitz
I like love songs, my father said there is no such as love song but ballads. It is only called love song because the song is about love. Anyway, for me whatever it is called I still love songs about love. One of this is the song by Adrian …

Broken, Beat, and Scarred, the third track off of Death Magnetic continues the pattern of songs which sound a lot closer to tracks which Metallica were writing during their earlier days, the 1980s and very early 1990s. Broken, Beat, and Scarred has somewhat of an eastern sound to it …

The Cranberries - To The Faithful Departed (1996)
I was talking with a friend of mine about Cranberries albums, and he asked me, which one is the odd one? The one that doesn’t fit. Well, it certainly is “To The Faithful Departed”. While “No Need ” was a natural evolution from “Everybody “, this album is the unnatural …
The Flaming Lips - Godzilla Flick (Song)

It’s Not Enough by The Who
I was delighted when I learned that The Who, one of my favorite all time rock groups, had released a new single, the first since “Who Are You” in 1981. “It’s not enough” has much more passion than “Who Are You.” It is another song …

Bon Iver - Hinnom, TX (Song)

Vanessa Carlton (musician)
The first time I heard this young lady’s music was when I was in high school, and as the years have passed I’ve heard almost nothing from her. Thinking about it now, that could have been as a result of one of two reasons or probably both. The first …
Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick is a band that has been around since a few years before I was born yet they seem to reinvent themselves just enough to stay around.
They have quite a few decent newer songs but, when I listen to them, I still prefer the classics like “I want …

I first heard about the group “A Perfect Circle” in my final years of high school. At that time I didn’t consider them as my favorite band, or even one of my favorites. However, I did love the few songs I heard from them which as the time …
Fidelity Music Video By Regina Spektor

Slash-Godfather Theme (song)
Often during live performances with Guns N’ Roses, Slash would perform his guitar solo spot that transitioned into the first note that many ears would easily recognize as the theme to the Godfather Trilogy. It starts off with slow with a lot of sustain and vibrato. Then once it …
