I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything about Justin Nozuka yet. I only wish there was more awareness about this amazingly talented singer in the States. He seems to be doing this thing like crazy up in Canada. This album “You I Wind Land and Sea” is the second album release by Justin Nozuka. The [...]

Can I just say that I miss Myspace? I know it is still there, but I can’t recall ever remembering to go there or if I even still have an account. Before Facebook, I was addicted to Myspace – not for the social aspect, but for the music. There were so many opportunities for me [...]

It has been awhile since Kellie Pickler released new music. From those days on Idol when the judges were less than kind and the public somewhat were the same. Soon after her release from the show, she was signed to a label, released “Red High Heels” and rode the wave of success into Nashville and [...]
Nathan Angelo – Follow Your Heart

I wish I could remember the story of how I found Nathan Angelo. Whatever the story might be, I am so glad that I came across his music because it has become a staple in my rotation of go-to discs. Last year, I entered a little Facebook contest in which I only had to share [...]

Jared Lee – Falling Through Holes EP Years ago, when Myspace.com was a popular place to do everything that we do Facebook on now, I came across great new music all the time. One of those times, I found OneRepublic before they were signed and couldn’t stop listening to “Apologize”. But another one of those [...]

The Lost Weekend – A Revisionist’s Guide to the American Dream A few months ago, my friend Alex Knight said he was working on a passion project. This project was an group of songs that he had written over the years and really only shared with his friends and family. Even though he was in [...]

Marianas Trench – Ever After (2011) One of my biggest passions in life is discovering music. This is mostly for my own enjoyment, but it typically means I am able to introduce them into the lives of my friends. I have always prided myself on the ability to choose the appropriate tracks on an album [...]
The Lighter Exchange – Beneath the Endlessness

The following is a reply given to a friend after she asked me to give a listen to the release: “Beneath the Endlessness” by The Lighter Exchange So first off, I really love the CD. I think there is a lot of promise if they can swim through the muck on the radio right now. [...]
Gavin Degraw – Free

So, as some of you may recall (probably not), I wrote a pretty strong and praising review of Gavin’s last album, GAVIN DEGRAW. Looking back, I might have been a little bit excited about it and that MIGHT have clouded my judgement a little bit. But that is neither here nor there. I liked it [...]

Sugarland – Love on the Inside (Release date: July 22, 2008 ) My second favorite country album of 2008. It comes in very close behind Lady Antebellum’s release earlier this year. There is something about Sugarland that I just love. I have liked their music since the first album, ya know, back when they were [...]
