Radio Sucks

The radio sucks and everyone knows it. 9/10 songs are the same damn club hits you hear at D2 and every other club around town. It's impossible to get away from these over played pop hits. You go to Authors (the school restaurant) and there playing them on the tv, you walk into spar and they got the same shit poppen as your trying to buy a few groceries, your riding in the car and its either that or some classical. WTF, idk how the radio stations stay in business. I guess the the world just cant get enough of these sing along pop hits.

Dark Twisted Fantacy

What is Kanye West dark twisted fantasy? No one know for sure and it is hard to make out still after listening to his new album titled "My Dark Twisted Fantasy". All though i'm not sure why he titled it the way he did, i'm sure about the music it posses. No matter how big of a tool Kanye continues to be, it is hard to reject his music. One of the few rappers IMO worth listening to. "My Dark twisted Fantasy" is extremely well produced and fits perfect with the era of music where in. As one of the biggest names in the business allows him to collaborate with many other big names which adds to this album alot. A great piece pf work this album is despite i hate him as a person, but still i give kudos to his music... not bad Kanye, not bad at all.

Tribute to my Fans

The video below is a solo acoustic guitar performance that was brought to my attention from one of my followers. He commented on the acoustic performance of Thom York's "the clock" i posted awhile back, saying this was his favorite guitar performance ever. In respect to my flowers i gave it a listen of course. The Video is of the song "Ocean" live performed and written by John butler trio. It is simply an amazing piece of art this song is, with Butler effortlessly ripping his guitar so smoothly. It is easy to get lost in a song of this stature. Thanks a lot Hroedig for sharing this with me, i hope now more can enjoy it!

If anyone else has anything to share let me know about it and i will check it out

Life in a Glass House

Yesterday i was listening to my ipod and i came across a song that i completely forgot about. IDK how this song got lost in my mind for such a long time, maybe because it is amongst so many other great Radiohead tracks, but who knows for sure... It is the final track on Radiohead's fifth LP "amnesiac" and it is the perfect ending to this CD. It is a soft but sharp jazz piece full of strings brass piano and woodwinds (witch is a rare for the band best known for their progressive rock sound) and it is accompanied with Thom Yorke's soft sad voice. You can't find another song similar to this. It is so unique, a masterpiece of music, a perfect song. LISTEN and LOVE it Below
