The album scored wonderful reviews from the likes of People Magazine (4/4 stars), 411 Mania (9.5/10), Entertainment Weekly (A-) and All Music(4/5)

This album is the precursor to his next album set to be named Man on the Moon: The Ghost and the Machine.

Man on the Moon is nothing less than addicting... a very depressing but insightful album. KiD CuDi lays out who he is... speaks of his inner feelings on amazing beats.

One of the highlights of the album is "Soundtrack 2 My Life"


Buy it. :)

Eminem - The Warning (Mariah Carey diss)

The ongoing feud between rapper Eminem and pop star Mariah Carey has been taken to a new level. This track sounds a lot like the old Eminem. Give it a listen.

My own quick mix of the song "We Are Rockstars"

I've been messing with this neat little program that mixes things quite nicely. I liked the outcome of this and decided to upload it to youtube. I messed with the song "We Are Rockstars" by Does it offend you, yeah?

Check out my Youtube Here

Minilogue - Animals

"Animals" is a song by the Swedish Group Minilogue.It's extremely electric and tizzingly chill. "Grooving, colorful beasties are all around us - just stop to listen to them pounding out this toe-tapping Minilogue track."

Does it Offend You, Yeah? - With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You) - Name Information

The video above is them performing "With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You)" live.

"Does It Offend You, Yeah? never intended to be an actual band. Nor was their name chosen on purpose. "We just did the tracks and decided to setup this MySpace account so we could just send a link and then people could have a listen," singer James Rushent told Spinner when they stopped by the Interface. "Then we switched on the TV and Ricky Gervais was on there and he said, 'Does it offend you, yeah?' If we'd known that we were going to end up doing this, we probably would have picked a better name." "

Chester French & Clinton Spark - 2 Mans starring Solange - Song

"2 Mans Starring Solange" is a VERY interesting song off of the mixtape JACQUES JAMS, VOL. 1: ENDURANCE. It's pretty funky, seems to have some punky sounds to it.

"This is a band...we are two mans... and you must underrrstannddddd GET FAMILIARRRR"
^^^ Beggining of the song.

You can actually visit the link below to download the album for free. I'm not very into the album but really dig this particular song.

Walter Meego - Artist

I Can't say it any better than this... "It’s 3 AM and you’re giggling with inebriation. You’re wearing painfully tight jeans. You just made out with a complete stranger on the dancefloor, and you haven’t sat down in over eight hours. Where are you? You are smack in the middle of Walter Meego’s world, and you have a knowing, gleeful smirk on your face.

Walter Meego is not a dude, but a duo. Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck, the heart and soul (respectively) of Walter Meego, are two rare suburban white boys who intuitively understand the subliminal power of synthy, salacious bass. Effervescent pop is Walter Meego’s specialty, and it flies out of speakers like a Pegasus riding a cheetah. "

They're quite an amazing duo. Two of their songs are on the Mixtape I posted below, "Girls" and "Forever." I highly advise you take a listen.

The Top 20 Album Sellers Of The 2000s

and which artist and/or band, living and/or dead has sold more albums since the year 2000... dun dun dun... Eminem. Surprised? Yeah, I was too. Since the year 2000 he has sold a total of 31,127,000 albums. In second place, quite a few million albums away is The Beatles. Not so surprising that they are among the top sellers, but some on the list were pretty surprising to me. For Instance, Nelly is ranked in the 7th spot selling 21,206,000 albums, a tiny bit more than Linkin Park who is taking spot number 8.

Rockin' Romance

Rockin' Romance is a compilation album full of song covers by powerpop bands.

Track Listing
01) Runner Runner - She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5)
02) Goodnight Sunrise - With You (Jessica Simpson)
03) A Change of Pace - Summer Girls (LFO)
04) The Arrival - Kiss from a Rose (Seal)
05) The Real You - Don't Worry Baby (The Beach Boys)
06) Let's Get It - All My Life (KC and JoJo)
07) Love Me Electric - Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)
08) Daphne Loves Derby - At Last (Etta James)
09) New Heights - Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis)
10) The Scene Aesthetic - Love Story (Taylor Swift)
11) Moneta - 1,000 Miles (Vanessa Carlton)
12) Destiny Worldwide - Trade It All (Fabolous)

Some of the songs on the album are quite weak, however some are pretty nice.
Runner Runner does a great job of covering Maroon 5 although it does not touch the original. Goodnight Sunrises cover of "With You" may be one of the best on the album, I never though I'd want to listen to a Jessica Simpson song. I'm not quite sure what to think of A Change of Pace's cover of "Summer Girls." It is nowhere near as good as the original, it's not horrible... but I'm not quite sure I like it. The Arrivals cover of "Kiss From a Rose" is also pretty great, it's a fun listen and a nice cover. The Real You covering The Beach Boys song "Don't Worry Baby" is different from lots of songs on the album. I'm not even sure it belongs on the same album. Let's Get It covering "All My Life" is also one of the better songs on the album. Love Me Electric covering "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is again one of the better on the album and not a song I'd expect to be covered. Daphne Loves Derby's version of "At Last" Is also one of the slower and more boring on the album... it doesn't even touch the original. New Heights cover of "Bleeding Love" is not bad either though I am not at all familiar with the original song. The Scene Aesthetics cover of "Love Story" originally by Taylor Swift is also quite good. You have to be a fan of The Scene Aesthetic though, if you dislike them or their style then you will definitely not like this cover. Monetas cover of "1,000 Miles" is pretty good. Saving the best for last... scratch that... the last track which is Destiny Worldwide covering "Trade It All" is absolute horrible. It's easily the worst track on the record and is not even listenable.

Overall this isn't a very good release. I'd rate it at 5/10 stars. It's quite short at only 11 tracks and has a few tracks that aren't very good. If you're into PowerPop you'll enjoy this... otherwise probably not so much. The whole Powerpop thing has been overdone for a while now and this only adds fuel to that fire. Fortunately some of the bands like The Scene Aesthetic still manage to hold an ounce of originality, so we'll see.

Sour's - 'Hibi no Neiro'

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. This is a must watch. The music isn't bad and is insanely chill but the video is absolutely brilliant.

Imogen Heap - First Train Home

"First Train Home," the opening song on Ellipse, Imogen Heap's forthcoming third studio album, is also its first single.

Imogen Heap has released the opening song on her newest and third studio album, Ellipse. The song is titled "First Train Home" and it's an obvious Imogen Heap song. It retains the same electro elements she's always had as well as the layered singing. Ellipse is out 8/24 in the UK and 8/25 in North America via Megaphonic/Epic/Sony.

The song doesn't rival with some of my favorites from her, mainly including "Hide and Seek" but it is a pretty good song, I'm interested to hear the album when it is released.
