On Letting Go - Circa Survive

Feels So Good Atomic Kitten
Atomic Kitten has all grown up and has taken the pop scene o a more mature and, let’s just say, “un-girl band” level. A far cry from their first album, the girls re-introduce themselves as women, having truly grown musically, stylistically and visually. i’m impressed at how well they …

Honkytonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins
Trace Adkins looks like a rough and tumble kind of guy and that’s exactly what you expect when you hear his music. Honkytonk Badonkadonk is a great song and it is all based around a woman and her rear end. Men love rear ends and Trace took the cue …

“Bad Brains” by Bad Brains LP (1982)
It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …
Scars On Broadway - World Long Gone (Song)

It’s a Sin (song) by Pet Shop Boys
It’s a Sin is one of the best known of all the Pet Shop Boys’ 1980s smash hits, and although it is perhaps not quite as famous now as it was in its heyday, it is still an excellent track that I feel is more than worth a listen. …
Megadeth - Have Cool, Will Travel (Song)

The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (Song)
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track which appears on Rubber Soul and certainly another one of Lennon’s earlier songs which I would consider to be among his best. I always used to believe, and still believe, that Rubber Soul was certainly the record where The …

Handshakes at Sunrise - Circa Survive

CD KISS LOVE GUN
LOVE GUN
Another “live in studio” effort that would be the album KISS’ tour would revolve around on the band’s first excursion into Japan.

Back To Black-music album by Amy Winehouse

“Matchess” by Underdog (Compilation, 2010, Bridge 9)
Underdog is arguably one of the greatest hardcore punk bands to ever surface. Unfortunately, until recently most of their recorded material has been obscure and hard to find anywhere.

Eleca guitar
It was my daughter’s 16 birthday and she wanted a guitar. We searched all over for the perfect one and finally found it. The one we chose was called an “Eleca” guitar. The sound is incrediable. It’s a rather large guitar but the sound quality makes it irresistable. It …

Green Day - Horseshoes And Handgrenades (Song)
Horseshoes And Handgrenades is a song by Green Day which appears on their most recent studio effort, 21st Century Breakdown.

Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire (Song)
Fight Fire With Fire, the opening track to Metallica’s second album Ride The Lightning, is a song which I personally believe is one of Metallica’s fastest and most aggressive songs throughout any of their nine records. Although this song opens up with a very melodic …
