Oren Lavie

July 22nd, 2010 Posted by Bea

And now a quick look at music artist Oren Lavie! I decided to bring him into the limelight after recently seeing that his music video for "Her Morning Elegance" has gained popularity.

Perhaps his video of "Her Morning Elegance" has been on the charts for a while now, but I just looked at Yahoo's top music videos, and I noticed that this music video was number 2! I could not believe it; I had no clue that people even knew what this song was! It turns out that I have been a little of out the loop;...

Drake

June 15th, 2010 Posted by Bea
In the past few years Drake has become one of the hottest rappers. To tell you the truth, I had no clue who he was until a few weeks ago, but I have been listening to Kiss 108, "Boston's Hit Music Station", recently and they keep telling their listeners all about him. So, who is he? Born Aubrey Drake Graham on October 24, 1986, Drake is a Canadian actor and recording artist. Drake had officially signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment record label back in June of 2009. He was supposed to release his newest album back in 2009, but...

Thesixtyone.com is my new preference for listening to music over Grooveshark. While I do love using Grooveshark and being able to have the ability to check out pretty much any song I ever could imagine and then being able to save those songs on to a playlist, I rarely use Grooveshark to break out from my typical music and find new stuff. This is where thesixtyone comes into play. Being sick of the same old stuff, I discovered thesixtyone and started on my musical adventure. The interface of the site just recently changed, so I still am getting used to it,...

Noel Gallagher Is Going Solo

February 4th, 2010 Posted by Gumer Liston
After quiting Oasis following a big fight with his brother Liam in August last year, Noel Gallagher is going solo. It can be remembered that Gallagher had written on Oasis' website in August that he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer". Now he has just announced his first solo concerts. He will be performing in two of the Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual charity concerts at London’s Royal Albert Hall on March 25 and 26. This will be the former Oasis guitarist's fifth time to be featured in the Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual charity...

Further Musings

August 31st, 2009 Posted by J Frazzetta
I always find it funny how music works between America and England.  Kings of Leon are from America and have been huge in England for years, but they just are making waves on their fourth album over here.  Whereas a band like Muse has been doing very well in their home country of England and just now are doing well over here pending the release of their fifth album.  It is a shame that America doesn’t just jump on the wagon with some of these bands earlier on.  If England digs it, then it must be great. As I mentioned earlier,...
