Back to the Beginning: Foo Fighters’ Self-Titled Debut vs. Wasting Light
Posted on April 15, 2011 | No CommentsI find it hard to talk about Foo Fighters without also at least thinking about Nirvana.

Posted on March 4, 2011 | 3 CommentsIn November of last year, the internet was abuzz and atwitter with breathless anticipation and effusive praise for mashup artist Girl Talk’s latest album, All Day.

Jurassic Park Theme 1000% Slower, Still 100% Awesome
Posted on January 17, 2011 | 1 CommentJust the other day, I was saying how the Jurassic Park theme is one of my favorite pieces of music I’ve ever played, and that was back in the high school orchestra days. There’s no denying that John Williams has a knack for using music...
