1. B.B. King – “Sweet Little Angel (live)”: I love the reaction of the crowd in this one. It’s a slow blues, and the crowd reacts like it’s the Beatles. Girls screamin’. It’s great, but it shows how old this recording is.
2. The Dan Band – “Total Eclipse of the Heart”: If you’ve ever seen [...]

Song Recommendations: Australia, Turn On Me, Phantom Limb, Split Needles, A Comet Appears
I was introduced to this band from yesterday’s album of the day, Garden State, where the songs New Slang and Caring Is Creepy actually got me really interested into some Indie sounds. The Shins is the definition of Indie rock in my opinion. [...]

I saw Athenaeum a music festival in Charlotte back in ‘99. They were pretty decent live and kindof up my alley at the time. I picked up this album shortly after and like their live performance, is pretty decent. It’s an album that is great the first [...]

pru-review: Tropic Thunder
Starring: Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black

Anchored by a star-studded cast which includes some unexpected cameos in Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey, this film brought the funny. [...]

I’m listening to this album for the first time in a while, and I’m still burnt out. Like Third Eye Blind’s first album, In Between Dreams came out with a bang. I listened to this album all the time. And now [...]
