Aqualung has definitely grown on me. Though it took me months to appreciate Matt Hales’ (who alone makes up Aqualung) debut CD, Strange & Beautiful, once I began to enjoy the album I started to call myself a fan. Hales soothing indie rock sound is…
I was first introduced to Relient K during my freshman year in high school and I fell in love. I was just starting to discover that “Christian music” didn’t always have to be serious; that you could worship God and have fun at the same…
I’ve always liked Mandy Moore. Despite her disastrous debut album, I’ve always been somewhat interested in Moore’s career. Admittedly, I’m a bigger fan of her acting choices than her music, but I decided to take a chance recently and buy her fourth album, Coverage (released…
The name, Mika (pronounced “mee-ka”), may mean nothing to you, but I’m predicting now that he will be the next big thing. The 23-year-old singer is the UK’s latest import and his glam rock/pop sound is just the kind of upbeat music that everyone’s been…

If you remember my last review of a Coldplay album, you’ll note that it wasn’t exactly favorable. While A Rush Of Blood To The Head was an okay album, I found most of it dull and uninspired. I’ll admit the album has grown on me…
It’s amazing how our memories work. Sometimes, all it takes is a breeze blowing by, or a whiff of someone’s cologne to take us back into a vivid image of our past. Personally, a lot of my memories are linked to songs. Good ones and…
