No, today I will endeavor to thank my sweet Lord for art, specifically the art of fine music, and in particular, the Beatles.
An in depth view of the lyrics and temper that lay within the Finland sensation HIM's latest rock album.
This ensemble is so talented in the wings with its young men playing from my left to right: Ethan Ballinger on acoustic guitar and electric guitar (the big ones like the used in the early 1960's
Experimental alternative psychedelic rock at it's finest The Flaming Lips have long been known for their forward thinking and shall I say progressive experimental music. For about the last decade they have transcended what many would consider traditional rock music and blended it with a mixture of s
In some ways I can understand the nostalgia when a band from your past comes out with new material. There is an excitement that encompasses the memories you gained listening during younger days that
Pearl Jam From Start to Finish... What can I really say about this album? That is exactly what I asked myself after listening to this album for the fourth time. Truthfully, I am pretty close to a loss of words. The music really speaks for itself and it is almost an injustice to write a review about
Bearfoot was a Breath of Fresh Air as they Breezed through Town The bluegrass / traditional country band Bearfoot came to Washington's Turnage Theater and gave a near perfect performance of the music that steels my will to consider the talent that could stir my soul. And what a resounding success it
J Mascis and company back at it again After breaking up in 1997, Dinosaur Jr came back in 2005 with the album Beyond which truly showed these guys stil have a lot of great music in them and to further cement that notion the newly released Farm album is another outstanding release. This rock album is
Free guitar lessons online with Jamorama.I am going to do something a little different today.

The Return of the Story Teller (He's 62 and he still has the "chops" to keep his audience well entertained) As a young man, settling into my new life in North Carolina's Triangle, I would take my young wife to see whatever shows were available within two hours drive of our one bedroom walk-up. While
Yeah the dude sounds like Jack White - Get over it!I have heard it from just about everyone as soon as the vocals for 'Ain't No Rest For The Wicked' begin and to be honest I completely agree. The lead singer, Matt Shultz, definitely has a voice that is a close comparison to Jack White's, but if you
Perfectly fitting follow up to 2004's American Idiot Green Day started off their career in the 90's as purely a punk band with a bit of pop influence that helped them gain notoriety that extended far beyond their San Francisco roots.
