A few diamonds in the rough...

So I bought Maroon 5's new cd yesterday, and well, I wasn't a fan of their new single but let me tell you something that a lot of people don't know about M5.Their last cd, "Songs About Jane" was recorded by the band themselves as something to take to record companies to sell in hopes of getting signed.

I got the newest Shins record...
about 5 years ago

I finally got the new Shins cd (I know) and I gotta say, I do like it quite a bit. The Shins are one of those bands for me where I listen to their music and I just think to myself, "how did they write this?" So much of their writing is so smart and it feels so natural. Great band.I do think it is reallllllly (notice my use of many ls for emphasis) funny how nobody who writes about The Shins ...

I just started writing my college's newspaper in the music section and as my first assignment I reviewed the new Nine Inch Nails' CD "Year Zero." Now I'm not a NIN fan but I really have to admit that there are some really great songs on this CD."Capital G" is just a cool song, there's no denying it. Even though I really don't agree entirely with the subject matter of the song, it just has an inf

Logh
about 5 years ago

My friend Calvin (Pioneer) sent me this cd the other night. When he was describing to me what I was about to hear, he used words like "beautiful" and "pretty." I hadn't heard a "beautiful" album for a long time, so that got me excited.Now that I've listened to the cd a couple times I am not at all disappointed or felt let down by the description. Logh's "North" is such a beautiful album with a
