Fall Out Boy concert 9/16/07
On Saturday, 9/16/2007, I drove over to West Palm Beach, Florida to see Fall Out Boy in concert. I was chaperoning my daughter and her friends and though I like some of their songs, I’m certainly not a huge fan.
I was pleasantly surprised. The opening acts were …
Eminem - Relapse
I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)

Jefferson Airplane - Crown Of Creation
Overview - Crown Of Creation, Jefferson Airplane’s fourth effort, is primarily a pretty upbeat record with both energetic and melodic songs. The album features vocal performances by Slick, Balin, Kaukonen, and Kantner so it’s a very
nice mix whether they’re singing alone, which is good, or whether they’re singing together, …

Exodus - Bonded By Blood

“Tical”, Method Man’s debut album is hailed as the greatest solo release from any of the Wu-Tang Clan. The beats were gritty, dark and utterly evil. The lyrics were lyrically amazing and channeled from the dark side. Not to mention Method Man’s strange demeanor, being the “different” member of …

N-Dubz - Playing With Fire - Single
I have to admit that N-Dubz make me laugh both with their behaviour and their dress sense but the more I hear their music the more I appreciate what they do and it’s mad to think that such good music can come from this band but they do it.
Playing …
Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing
The Best Damn Thing? Does this album really live up to that ambitious title? Well, in a word, no. Not in my opinion. But that’s a bit unfair of me because of several things. I’m not an Avril fan to be honest, I can’t seem to get along with …
Bulletproof conception
I met a friend on myspace and he asked me to listen to a couple of songs that he wrote and recorded with his band. My first though was on man because most garage style bands are no good, but I would have never hurt my friends feelings, so …
It’s Not Me It’s You by Lily Allen

The Birthday Massacre, Alternative Techno Rock
This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …

Who can forget Barry White? I’m sure his songs have touched everyone at some time or other. I know he has touched me. I grew up with Barry White. Barry’s music is so soulful, and truly says something.
