Radiohead - In Rainbows

Maybe by now the hype surrounding Radiohead’s seventh album, In Rainbows, has somewhat died down, which is why I waited to post a review. I even waited until Friday to download it.
After a couple of listens, I would describe In Rainbows as a mellow album, where electronica and reggae perfectly meet. In my opinion, this […]

Soundgarden - Hands All Over

This was the mighty Soundgarden’s song about environmentalism from 1989’s Louder Than Love.
Apparently the lyrics, “baby brother, put your hands, you’re gonna kill your brother”, mean that the mother is the Earth and baby brother is humanity. Even if with lyrics that are about protecting the Earth, the music still rocks because it’s classic Soundgarden.
The reason […]

Black Market Radio in Baltimore

Hey Baltimore…Black Market Radio is taking over your city this weekend!
BMR is a great band from New York City, fronted by Chris Cornell’s brother Peter. But even if they weren’t fronted by a Cornell, they would still rock. So make sure you check these guys out.
They’ll be doing some radio performances and a show this Sunday […]

Chris Cornell - Can’t Change Me

What a great song from Chris Cornell’s 1999 solo debut Euphoria Morning.
I know that I was shocked when I first heard “Can’t Change Me”, because it was vastly different than anything I heard from Soundgarden. It’s a shame that this was his first and only single released from Euphoria Morning, because it’s just a fantastic […]
