Worst Movie Songs of All Time
June 30, 2012
In honor of the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic I thought I’d take today to look at the truly awful songs that have plagued movie soundtracks over the years. It is a rather dubious feat if you think about it.
Album Review: The Hunger Games Soundtrack
June 27, 2012
The problem with most soundtracks is that the shifts in mood and genre which take place in a film don’t necessarily work out of context, and with all of the in-between stuff cut out. What you get then is very rarely a true album
Concert Review: Norah Jones at Fox Theatre in Atlanta
June 24, 2012
The first time I saw Norah Jones live was March 2002 at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Her debut album, Come Away with Me, had just been released and had yet to spiral into the Grammy-winning, sales behemoth that it would ultimately become. With a
Album Review: Our Lady Peace ‘Curve’
June 23, 2012

2012 BamaJam Music Festival: A Review
June 18, 2012
It was quite the weekend at BamaJam 2012. Thursday was a bit of a disaster, with the generators used to power the stage failing, and the wind tearing the cover on the main stage destroying the equipment of many of the bands set to
Concert Review: Sheryl Crow at BamaJam Music Festival
June 18, 2012
As BamaJam’s only female headliner, Sheryl Crow took the stage Saturday night, riding the wave of energy from a performance by Enterprise native Jamey Johnson and the anticipation of southern rock king, Kid Rock. The festival atmosphere was completely professional Saturday, as parking, security,
Album Review: Garbage ‘Not Your Kind of People’
June 18, 2012
Not Your Kind of People is a hell of a thing to name an album, but it works for the same reason that wearing a lot of black and keeping one’s head down can be a surprisingly good way to meet people. Not a
