I remember when I first heard Tainted Love on a radio station when I was visiting the United States. I was immediately hooked to this song but little did I realize it was quite an old song already. About 16 years old or just a bit more really.
I actually …

This is my favorite post-Beatles solo album. I also really enjoy John’s Plastic Ono Band, and Paul and Linda’s Ram, but All Things Must Pass is so trancendentally amazing that no other release comes close. I have a copy on vinyl that I got from my dad’s old records.

I remember this seemed odd for a while, that Neil Diamond would do a holiday album since he’s Jewish. There was talk that since Barbra Streisand was doing another one, it somehow was okay for him to do one. I don’t recall the specifics much now, but …

(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Raditude. The song opens up with a catchy acoustic guitar riff which serves as the main riff of the song before a catchy drum pattern and Cuomo’s …

My first real introduction to the electronic rock band Orgy was when I was around fourteen years old. While that was a couple years after their first studio album Candyass was released in 1998, they were still fairly popular amongst a lot of teens especially since their vocalist …

For as long as I can remember I have absolutely loved this band. I can remember dancing to their songs at dances back in the sixth grade and loving every second of it. I am a huge rock fan, all kinds of rock, but I …

First of all….you need to realize that Metallica has LOST their flame a LOOOONG time ago. I would speculate that it was during their BLACK album that their flame went out. They are a piss poor representation of American Metal, and they do not deserve all the praise that …

Bat You’ll Fly is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Taking a slightly more upbeat feel and tempo, Bat You’ll Fly is another track where the vocals seem to be primarily in the spotlight as the instrumentation is fairly …

Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!
As a background, AURORA (real name Aurora Aksnes) …

Good Lovin Outside is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate song on their album Sung Tongs. Opening with vocals right from the start, Good Lovin Outside takes on a tone which sounds somewhat hypnotizing to be honest. Perhaps this is just the way I hear the …

The PV starts out with a sepia toned scene of Koda, who’s playing a woman of early 20th Century America being dumped. It then switches to color and remains that way for the rest of the video. I found the shift to be interesting as it conveyed her past …

—˜Sunday Morning’ is one of the song that can make me cry if I listen it. Its not because the song or the music is so sad and so melodic, the music is in middle up beat, cheer up and enjoyable to listen. So do with the lyrics, its …

Where Is Everybody is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track opens up with a heavy synthesizer rhythm accompanied by drums and a bass line which goes over this part and plays an odd sounding lead rhythm. Reznor comes in with …

Laffy Taffy by D4L is a awesome dance song. My favorite lines in the song is when he says he is as hard as a jolly rancher and you can suck him long time. To me that is really funny. This song is dirty but clean in it’s own …

Not usually my cup of tea this. It’s more a bitter dark and strong coffee that you could stand a spoon up in … I really dislike the taste of coffee.
So it’s not something I would knowingly drink. Or, to cut the waffle (and terrible metaphor) short: It’s not …

Ramble On is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their second record, Led Zeppelin II. Ramble On begins with an acoustic guitar pattern primarily in the right channel and also an interesting percussive rhythm and bass line as well. Plant comes in with the vocals of the …

This song is a great example for all the parents out there. And I like how the lyrics convey a serious issue in a very comical way. A lot of parents don’t believe that the way they act and what they say affects their children. But it really does. …

When I heard from my fiance that he likes the song of Ricky Nelson. I asked him who is that guy? Then he started to introduce me Ricky Nelson’s songs.

It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …

Overview —“ Kerplunk, Green Day’s second album, showcases the band starting to get closer and closer to what become their signature sound. I have to say that for the most part, this album really doesn’t have any major flaws to it. Yes, there may be some tracks which I …

Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …

Muse is one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are awesome, the guitar playing is just divine, and the drums are amazing. But this time around, I lost a ton of respect for them when they allowed Supermassive Black Hole on the Twilight soundtrack. I mean, sure, they opened …

When The Ship Comes In is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album The Times, They Are A-Changin’. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar strumming pattern before Dylan comes in with his vocal performance with his classic tone and excellent lyrics. Like many tracks …

I had been searching for a suitable CD of music to do meditation with, and came across the Reflections of Nature Series at a local store, and was drawn to the Dreamstorm CD after hearing parts of it play. I decided to purchase it for $9.99CDN partially due to …

This album was one of the first albums by the Cure that I listened to. It was quite a long time ago. It took place, in fact, probably in the year when this album was released. And then I loved these songs a lot. They seemed magic and otherworldly. …

Album: Survivor
Label: Columbia Records

This is the remix to Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” single and music video off of their third album of the same name. Well, just like their remix video for “Jumpin’, Jumpin’”, I really don’t quite see what is …

This album is all but a display of what a good pop/electronica album should be. A friend bought me this record last year, much to my surprise. I knew I liked “Here In Your Arms”, which had been introduced as a single beforehand, but I didn’t know any of …

For the past couple of months David Nail has been helping me past some really difficult things in my life. This includes accepting change.
This song, Strangers On A Train, will always have such a special place in my heart because no matter where I go in life, it …

The song ‘My home’s in Alabama’ is by the group Alabama. It is a good song that makes you think of home where ever that may be. For me it reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was a kid and the fact that we …

April 8th is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate song on their debut album On Avery Island. Though Three Peaches, another song on this album, had a pretty dark and sad sound to it, I must say that April 8th is easily the darkest track …

This song is sung by Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson in Timbaland’s Shock Value Album, and it’s really a great and famous song for it’s nice beats and lyrics. The song goes on about a poor guy who doesn’t have the money to impress a girl, and the girl tells …

The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse

He Wasn’t by Avril Lavinge is a song about how this girl does not like her guy that much any more and decides he is not the kind of guy she is looking for. The guy is hanging her out to dry and that is how lots of guys …

I have always had a love for all kinds of music, but now that I am a Christian I am more particular about what I find myself listening too. I used to be a fan of rap music when I was younger so when I first heard …

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have been country music’s number one couple for many years now. They are well known for their music separately, but have recorded some songs together. This is one of the most amazing love songs ever recorded by the pair or by anyone in country …

Another great and talented singer would be Katy Perry and in One Of The Boys by Katy Perry; the title of her album, I can’t help but to compare her voice to Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. But she has her own identity voice and not quite Gwen. …

Donuts is one of the most imaginative and important CDs of the last decade. Although it is very unnoticed and underground, I consider it to be a classic and very important. It’s extremely imaginative and I’m positive in the near future, maybe in another decade or so, J Dilla’s …

I am very happy that I had a chance to come across this fantastic record in my life. I feel that if I had never heard this record my life would have been less complete. This album is really good. The songs on this album are really special.
