For some reason, I have always been attracted to cover songs. I am not sure if it is just the uniqueness of hearing someone add their own signature to a familiar song or or what. Anyway I thought it would be fun to take a look at a tribute album of cover songs [...]

DRM is officially dead…good riddance!
The last major label, Sony BMG, has started the process to remove all DRM technology from their music.
This is a good thing for music lovers as now downloaded music can easily be shared with friends or moved from computer to computer…unless of course if you buy it from iTunes which limits you to only playing [...]

American Idol fans will remember Blake Lewis as the beatboxing runner-up in last season’s competition.

Hairspray was a great movie, and since it was a musical, the CD was good too. It has most, if not all, songs sung in the movie by the hit cast, consisting of John Travolta, Chrisopher Walken, Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, High School Music star, Zac Efron, and many more! It even has [...]

I recently came across a video on youtube.com that comedian Dave Coyne a.k.a DJLugi posted a few months ago. Have you ever heard ‘Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own’ by U2? DClugi takes that song and sings about Samuel L. Jackson. I think it is great, he sounds and looks like Bono, and [...]
