Sonic Boom

KISS rocks again.

I Bless The Rains Down In Africa

This is a great take on Toto's Africa by Perpetuum Jazzile, a Slovenian choir that performs jazz and popular music. The simulated rain and thunderstorm at the beginning is awesome.

No Line On The Horizon

U2 is awesome!

Death Magnetic

Metallica rocks!

Or is it just because I wanted something better than St. Anger? Seriously, I think it's on par with ReLoad but not the Black Album.

Breakout

Miley Cyrus is rocking on this one. Um, so says my daughter. Yeah, that's it.

OMG, check this out while it's still going on.

Accelerate

R.E.M. rocks again!

Combinations

Eisley rocks.

Sorry, Not Available

I went into my favorite electronics super store this evening to buy the just-released new CD Combinations by Eisley. They didn't have it. I asked one of the associates for help because there have been instances when a new CD I wanted was still sitting in their backroom on the release date but this wasn't the case tonight. They did tell me that the store on the other side of town had it but I wasn't in the mood to drive out there. I went over to another store and they didn't have it either. Bummer. I guess I'll have to drive across town later this week to get it.

Snakes & Arrows

Rush rocks.

Black Rain

Ozzy is back and he rocks!!

Daughtry

Daughtry (sort of) rocks.

Phobia

Breaking Benjamin rocks!

Bravo...Forte

It's about time someone came up with a solution to the information that displays for digital recordings of classical music on your MP3 player. A new standard announced today would help organize and display correct information for classical music on your portable audio player.

Essentially, the new approach offers a standardized way of cramming the additional relevant data in classical music — such as composer, ensemble, movement number or soloist — into the three-line display.

One resulting "track" would appear like this:

"Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Op. 8/1, `Spring' — 1. Allegro"

Meanwhile, the "artist" line for the same track would cite both the star violinist and his conductor on the recording:

"Joseph Silverstein, Seiji Ozawa, Boston Symphony Orchestra"

I am really picky about what and the accuracy of the displays for each song. And I get annoyed when the information is wrong for my particular recording. Hopefully, this will help. You can read the entire article here.
