Gwen Stefani, natural da Califónia, Estados Unidos, começou sua carreira em 1992 com o grupo No Doubt, sua primeira genuína experiência no mundo da música. Custou tempo para a banda constituir seu primeiro tento comercial que veio apenas com o terceiro álbum, Tragic Kingdom, e as faixas Just a Girl, Don't Speak e Sunday Morning. O ska, punk e rock alternativo eram alguns dos elementos semeados em maior proporção nas suas gravações iniciais. O quarto álbum, Return of Saturn, não foi capaz de atingir o mesmo sucesso do anterior…

Anna sent me a comedy bit called Roger Clemens Hates Me, which I listened to and then deleted, so it's unlikely to show up again. Heh.

Some stuff from my library I thought was on here already (My Hometown, Je crois pourtant...). I just keep finding more. Meh.

Downloaded as many Hugh Laurie songs as I could find! What I Mind (my new favorite), Little Girl (too creepy for me to listen to often), Mystery (a classic), The Nice Rap (hehe), and America (my favorite of all time) were all added.

I heard That's Not My Name on the radio and REALLY liked it, so I found it.

Into the Deep, Light of a New Day, The Glory of RA, Across the Desert, and The Ten Commandments from The Ten Commandments.

My roommate's been listening to Say Hey (I Love You) - finally caved in and got it.

Gives You Hell - heard on the radio.

Lots of shared library stuff:
-Accidentally In Love. I've always liked this song. I should own it.
-Alone, which I kind of hope would be a punk cover of Heart's version... No such luck.

From Jill Greenberg's frickin amazing photoshoot for the, uh, The Sweet Escape cover.

For the skinny, plus archives, make with the clicking.

The Cull

* The Austerity Program - Song 17B
When singer and guitar player Justin Foley starts singing - after about four and a half minutes of punishing, angular and evil-sounding instrumental hard rock - about a poison with the help of which you "could kill a man like that" and "snap him like a wreath", it feels like an apt description of his band's music.

* Fat Joe - The Shit Is Real (DJ Premier remix)
I'm sure this is some real good straight hip hop, containing the requisite listing of Fat Joe's hardness and streetwise ways, plus warnings about the severity of life on the streets and the nature of "the hustle" (or perhaps "the grind"). Also, Primo's jazzy remix oozes quality. The quality and professionality of all this is plain for all to see, but I. …

Next Single

20 aug 2007, 01:20 av tcatron565

Aly & AJ - Insomniatic
I'd have to say Bullseye would be a good second single choice! It has the rock side people would like. The lyrics also match perfectly. I could possible see another top 20 hit for Aly & AJ with Bullseye.

Hilary Duff - Dignity
By far Gypsy Woman! It will be a HUGE hit if she releases it. Bigger than With Love. Possibly a top 10 hit for Hilary!

Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
Very tough decision. Yummy (feat. Pharrell) would probably be the better choice. A very close second would probably be Don't Get It Twisted. It's just very tough to decide which would be good for this album.

JoJo - The High Road
This Time. It has everything! Very good decision! Another good one would be Coming for You. Both would be great hits!

Miley Cyrus - Meet Miley Cyrus
Another tough one. See You Again would probably be the best choice. Two other tracks could be good choices too (East Northumberland High and Let's Dance). …

It's been a long long time

Well...music reviews are on the way. I've been away way to long. I've had internet problems, life problems, and everything else problems. BUT all is well know. Let's start things off right.

Gwen Stefani...I'm not impressed.

I've finally got around to listening to The Sweet Escape.

This album is full of horrible overproduction. It just bibbles and bobbles it's way to a finish. It's one thing to be experimental it's another thing entirely to just over do it. A little goes a long way. Good God. Stop!

Let's exam it track by track shall we?

Wind It Up - It never grew on me. I just could never get with it. It wasn't addictive like I assumed it would be. Points for creativity but overall it just didn't do it for me.

Wonderful Life - A bright spot. I liked the sounds; they weren't too overpowering yet they were different. It rings a little Swedish/Norwegian in ways.

U Started It - It sounds Fergie; oddly enough. It starts off ok but as you get into it, bleah. It's just bleah. It never picks up.
