		<description><![CDATA[This article is half review and half large-scale complaint about current songwriting practices.  First, the thumbs-up – to Boys Like Girls for their new single, “Love Drunk.”  BLG has never been a HUGE band, especially not when compared to bands like Fall Out Boy.  (BLG was initially praised as “the next Fall Out Boy,” only to fall short of their success.  Maybe it&#8217;s because BLG has talent.)  Nevertheless, the first single from their new album remains in the top 10 downloads from iTunes, which alternately ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure all of you have heard this song and if not you&#8217;re missing out. I had first heard it months ago on my way down to the Keys on the radio. I had no idea who sang it or wrote but loved it regardless.  The music was fantastic and I began singing along instantly not even paying attention to the lyrics the few&#8230; thousand times.

Without a doubt the lyrics in this song have a strong, positive message that is challenging and hopeful at the same time. There&#8217;s a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first remember hearing this song when it came out back in 1994 with the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone.  I instantly fell in love with this song.  Years later when I was able to get CD&#8217;s for myself I got Sixteen Stone as soon as possible.
The song reels you in from the first chord and takes you all the way to the last.  The main riff that is repeated throughout in slight variations is simply astounding in terms of effectiveness, however simple it may ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m here to brainwash you with that damned pop(ish) music!  This is Muse&#8217;s &#8220;Knights of Cydonia&#8221; from their latest album Blackholes and Revelations.  And for those of you who don&#8217;t know Cydonia is a geographical location on Mars.  They seem to have an affinity for outerspace.
I first heard this song when I finally got the last track in the CD and fell instantly in love.  It is by far one of their best and most beloved songs in which I often find on repeat.  It&#8217;s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was a really interesting story that I heard on the radio today as I went into work.
Mark Johnson got an idea a few years ago when he heard Roger Ridley playing on the streets of Santa Monica, CA. His idea was to bring musicians together from around the world&#8230; but not physically. Instead he&#8217;d bring them together through music.

He started by recording Ridley on the streets of Santa Monica playing &#8220;Stand by Me&#8221;. Then he showed the video to Grandpa Elliot of New Orleans who added to this song ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contained within this essay is the opinionated analysis of two of the greatest contributors to music in America and Modern Jazz: Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday.  Both were great performers and colleagues.  In the analysis an album from each artist was selected: Billie Holiday’s “Complete Decca Recordings” and Louis Armstrong’s famed “What A Wonderful World.”  Each of them has quite a unique and distinguished vocal style.  Armstrong, though, also plays an incredible trumpet, which had brought him to fame several decades ago.

The style used in Armstrong’s ...]]></description>
