The Origin of Idioms
posted by Gallivanter
Idioms. Sometimes I wonder how on earth it all started. That was the catalyst that inspired me to do some research on them and here’s what I have found. Straight From the Horses Mouth Meaning: This information was received from the highest authority. Origin: In horse racing circles,...
Stereoside – Trailer Park Scum (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Hell yeah! It’s a laidback good old rock song. Interesting choice of lyrics – “I like my girls like I like my cream, a little bit sticky and a little bit sweet, everybody knows where I’m from, I grew up in a trailer, I’m trailer park scum.” Haha! I think...
Apocalyptica – Not Strong Enough (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
The best song off Apocalyptica’s latest album. It’s a mixture of symphony (cello to be exact) and nu metal if that aptly describes “Not Strong Enough”. The delivery reminds me of one Breaking Benjamin and this would’ve been right up their alley. While their other...
Anberlin – Art Of War (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
A nice intro to Anberlin’s best song off their latest album, which I think overall is pretty decent. I’m just too hooked on this one to be bothered to critique about the album as a whole. I like the name of the song, “Art of War”, and its refreshing lyrics of love being...
Michael Franti and Spearhead – Gloria (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I loved his hit 2 years ago called “Say Hey I Love You”, which I used during my wedding dinner. It was bloody catchy and I anticipated a similar song with his new album, but unfortunately, I think he will probably end up being a one-hit wonder. I kinda dig “Gloria”, a...
Stereoside – Walk Alone Back To You (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This is a decent rock ballad by Stereoside and it reminds me of the rock bands of yesteryears, where rock was just that – ROCK. While the verses don’t jump out and grab you by the balls with its melody, the lyrics on the other hand smacks you right in the bum to take attention....
Jon Secada – Just Another Day 1992 (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
What a killer 1992 debut track by Jon Secada, who was Gloria Estefan’s backup singer on her tour. This is a classic track with a classic beat. I didn’t took too much liking at first and I was 14 at that time as there were a whole lot more better songs that year. Now, looking back,...
Zarif – Box of Secrets (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This samples old school swing music very well. Zarif’s first single could just catapult her into fame with “Box of Secrets”. Unfortunately, her album is pretty tame and is a little detached from this song. Without the sampling, it would’ve been a very average song so...
Linkin Park – Wretches and Kings (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
They are back with another album and I’m not impressed. This is one of the songs off the new album, it’s just basically noise and rap, a potent mixture that has made Linkin Park a household name amongst teenagers with no reason for constant angst! It’s not as good as their...
Donnellshawn – Learning Love (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Every now and then comes a ear-pleaser of a R&B ballad and this is one of it. Donnellshawn’s delivery strengthens the believe that learning love a wonderful experience. There’s a shoutout in the song which again is freaking annoying and I hope to get my hands on a clean track....
Dez – Nice and Naughty (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
The bridge before the chorus reminds me of another tune but I can’t seem to get the name. Dez releases a safe R&B tune that will attract the younger women demographics. It’s a little degage without meaty substance. DOWNLOAD Dez – Nice and Naughty Mp3...
