If you’ve turned on your television anytime this year, then you have seen the commercial ads for FreeCreditReport.com.  Normally I would hate these things right off the bat, but to my surprise, the two songs are very well done from a musician stand point, and are extremely catchy, too catchy.  Of course now I [...]

Aah Belkin, you’ve served us well on oh so many gadgets for the iPod and so many other devices, but this, this I will have to stay away from.  Not that the idea isn’t nice, a 1/4-inch cable connector that snaps lose like Apple’s mag-connector.  If to much pressure is applied to one end, the cable will [...]

Is this supposed to be cute?  Sexy?  Innocent?  Playful?  Or maybe all of the above.  For Jessica to be successful, she needs to work on her image and project herself as an independent woman, and not some man’s accessory.  She makes a ton of money off her hair extensions with her girlfriend Ken Paves on [...]

The Rolling Stones, aren’t going to be rolling into retirement anytime soon! They are here to stay and play!

The Violent Femmes Go Crazy

 
My ears perked up when I read the words “Violent Femmes.”  Then I smiled when I saw the words “New Release”, but I had a bit of fear in my heart.  Nowadays, even the back in the day greats have a hard time connecting to their roots and producing something that lives up to why [...]

This is a crazy story that I cannot wrap my mind around. And the truth is, if this kid were a prodigy at killing animals with a firearm, or some freakin sport, he would be world renown right now. This kid is doing more than the majority who call themselves musicians do. [...]

 
One by one they fall, but like I said earlier, if you can’t beat em’, join em’.  Since no one is actually buying music in the form of a disk, you have to go where the listeners are.  However it’s particularly painful when bands always associated with standing strong against the corporatization of everything under [...]

 
Luckily for pure metal fans “Murder Face” and “DethKloc” are around to feed the need for speed, because Metallica seems hell bent on selling tickets to “A” fan.  After the whole “Don’t download our music” episode, the band has decided to annoy Bloggers as opposed to just their die hard fans.  Metallica and management invited [...]
