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…
I believe this is the first time I’ve ever rated a John Mayer album with anything less than five stars. To be fair, The Village Sessions (released in December 2006), is just an EP, so I guess you can say it doesn’t really count.

In regards of my three favorite musicians, this has been the best fall ever. In September, John Mayer released his third studio album, Continuum, which I was obviously very pleased with. In October, Jamie Cullum came to town, and I had the pleasure of having…
I can’t remember exactly where I was in 2002 when I first heard The Remedy (I Won’t Worry) playing on the radio, but I specifically remember taking note of the song and immediately liking it. Soon after, I learned that the upbeat single was a…
…And so my journey with Ben Folds and Ben Folds Five continues. If you’ve been reading my reviews, you’ll know my journey started when I bought Ben Folds’ first solo effort, Rockin’ The Suburbs. Recently I backtracked and purchased Ben Folds Five’s second album, Whatever…
Christmas is coming a little early this year. Actually, I’ve just been in the mood for some Christmas carols, and Charlotte Church’s holiday disc, Dream A Dream has certainly come in handy.
