I cannot believe how time has flown by. It’s just like yesterday when I receive the news that my old man died, after I returned home from school, age 8 going on 9. My mom was only a housewife when dad left us, me and my younger brother who was 6 going on 7. I must admit it was a...
Andrea Corr – Blue Bayou (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Andrea Corr from The Corrs has just released a new solo album, “Lifelines”, to say it’s boring and headless is an understatement. I’m not sure but it could be a collection of old songs re-sung, as many are obscure if they are old tracks in the first place. Obviously I...
Natalia Kills – Heaven (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Her new album’s pretty dull, apart from this track, “Heaven”, although the lyrics is a little cheesy. OK, I know that’s an understatement, but I don’t want to tear her apart as I think she does have the potential to kill. This song’s perfect for you ladies...
August – See No Evil (Mp3 Download) Review

Take That – Progress (Mp3 Download) Album Review

1994 : Color Me Badd – Choose (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
I love this track, and that’s an understatement of sorts. There’s a few songs I love from Color Me Badd, a boy band of sorts who were huge in the early 90s, for a small part. While the song only peaked at 23 on the US Billboard charts, it’s one of my all-time...
Steve Toltz’s A Fraction of the Whole
posted by Gallivanter
[ad] I found this gem after reading the 2008 Man Booker prize winner, The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. Steve Toltz’s fiction was shortlisted for the 2008 prize and after reading the synopsis of the 2008 nominees, this book attracted me the most. What a read. To say that it’s...
