There are those days when you simply want to pull out your hair just because you’re having an unproductive day or because you didn’t manage your time very well and you have many deadlines approaching. And you resort to certain inefficient stress-relievers (pacing up and down, smoking or just plain yelling). Yet you could try replacing…
The best love songs aren’t always the ones played by top of the charts bands and artists. Some keep a lower profile when it comes to their songs and though they may not receive the credit they deserve for those love songs. Here are four of those songs that, in this blogger’s opinion, deserve more…
I’m one of those people who can’t stand the sound of silence. Not even when I’m trying to fall asleep. Because silence, in an apartment building, usually means neighbors deciding to learn how to tap dance at 3 a.m., alarm cars going off in the middle of the night for no apparent reason or ambulances…
Although the modern perception of beauty standards seems constructed around a pedophile’s desires, with anorexic models resembling girls who haven’t even menstruated yet, there is a niche that will never die. And that is the niche of big derriere lovers. Like any thing of such social value, it has an impact in music, great artists…
On September 24, Nirvana fans from all around the world celebrated 20 years from the release of Nirvana’s second and most famous album studio, ‘Nevermind’.

When we play computer games, we get so absorbed and caught up in the gameplay that we don’t actually know what gives us that adrenalin rush and that smooth killing spree. Truth is, most of the times the music is so appropriate that it induces a trance-like state we indulge in. We absorb it, but…
One thing that we’ve learned from movies, is that you can’t go through a break up without crashing on your couch for weeks (or moths) surrounded by pizza leftovers, chocolate wrapping, dirty clothes and empty alcohol bottles. Just imagine yourself: you’re watching TV, holding an ice-cream bucket on your lap, a spoon in your right…
Photo from Of ribbons and roses On the 24th of November 20 years will have passed since Freddie Mercury passed away. However, people have found it more gratifying to celebrate 65 years from his birth on the 5th of September. If you set aside all these dates and celebrations, you can’t stop but think about…
My favorite season is upon us. This is when the skies are grey, the days get shorter, the weather is cooler, sleeping gets more satisfying than ever. And besides the sound of rain pouring down your window, there are some other sounds that you may find appealing. This wonderful season influenced songwriters to write some…
While you couldn’t blame Insane Clown Posse, for they’ve never had much discernment or even cared to produce anything of quality, this time Jack White can be accused for adding his contribution to one of the most useless releases in the recent history of music. Yes, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are collaborating with…
Ah, the 90s – a decade that gave us ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ by Nirvana and ‘Creep’ by Radiohead, but also some not so glamorous tunes, such as ‘Ice Ice Baby’ by Vanilla Ice or ‘Macarena’ by Los del Rio. The Rolling Stones magazine wanted to find out which are the worst songs of the…

After all, it’s all about giving you the feeling of power, that everything is possible in this world. I’m constantly looking for music that goes beyond the cliches established for a certain genre.
