New Moon Movie Soundtrack
I’m sorry. I just can’t like the books. I can’t stand the movies. I have no fangirl fantasies of being swept away by a semi-dead 108-year-old virgin who wants to carry on tales of how he would destroy me if he made love to me and …
Alanis Morissette

Billy Ray Cyrus: Southern Rain CD

KISS DOUBLE PLATINUM
DOUBLE PLATINUM

Bone Thugs N Harmony Thug World Order CD

Untouched by The Veronicas
It is hard to tell what this song is about unless you really listen to the lyrics. The lyrics itself complete a song so that is the most important thing to pay attention to when reviewing a song, not just how the song sounds or who it is by. …
Pink Floyd - Have A Cigar (Song)

Justin Timberlake
I hate Justin Timberlake. He is flat out boastful, arrogant and an ass. His songs are not that good as well. I think the only reason that Justin Timberlake made it through as an artist is the fact that the bosses in the NSYNC’s management group decided that they …
