The Story of a KPOP Fangirl
by glori23
My introduction to KPOP music was not a gentle one. I was one of those girls who huffed and narrowed their eyes at the sight of boys in brightly colored outfits dancing to some type of electronic song. Yes, I was not kind to KPOP fans. I looked down at them, though I wasn't verbal in my dislike. I simply had thoughts that ran along the lines of "These girls are stupid..."

All That Remains: The Best Metal Band of the Last Decade
by daddykeane
As I discussed in my previous leaf, The Essential Heavy Metal Albums, metal is currently in more of an underground state much like it was in the early 1980’s. I actually prefer this state as I believe, to use a Red Sox Nation baseball term; it rids the genre of the fake pink hat metal fans and brings things back to a more tight knit community of true followers. It also allows bands to create music they beli
The Essential Heavy Metal Albums
by daddykeane
Heavy metal fans have very varied opinions about the genre. You have the one extreme where you ask a self proclaimed metal fan, what's your favorite band? They predictably answer Metallica. Ok cool. What's your favorite album? The Black Album. Ah I see. What other metal bands do you like? Um, ah. Well I really love Metallica. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum that says, I only like really loud bands no one has ever heard of. Metallica sucks. The question is, Metallica is a pioneer of heavy metal and their thrash metal style is what influenced those really heavy band
Play that funky music!
by lavoie25
I have been fortunate, yes, fortunate to have a love of music, specifically live music. I love seeing my favorite bands in large arenas just as much as I love seeing a new up&comer perform cover songs at a local dive bar. I cannot sing and I am so impressed by people who can. I could not successfully play an instrument if I had to; including the triangle. Musicians and singers just mesmerize me. There's a feeling that happens usually about 45 seconds into the first song of a show that dictates how the rest of the show is going to go.
The 2008 - 2011 Travels of Amy Jade Winehouse
by jadeink
To provide a non-comprehensive abstract of the performance related travels of Amy Jade Winehouse, during the years 2008 through 2011.As 2007 wound down, AJW's poor health forced the cancellation of the year's closing dates. By early 2008, the loneliness of the distance-running lioness was back on display. The fame-monster demanded feeding and a long damaged AJW was the feast.
The 2007 Travels of Amy Jade Winehouse
by jadeink
To provide a non-comprehensive abstract of the major performance related travels of Amy Jade Winehouse, during the year 2007.The "non-comprehensive" label is necessary because it serves as CMA lingo, in case I missed any big ones. The "major" designation is necessary to help fans understand that AJW turned in numerous "minor" Jazz-niche gigs with her pals during the times she was not traveling with the big band. While many of those likkle appearances are categorized as "fun," they still constituted work and required additional travel.

Metallica is the most popular heavy metal band of all time, and the likely heirs to all metal (behind Black Sabbath).Their influence in albums like Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, and Kill 'Em All can be heard in recent metal bands like All That Remains, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, and countless others. The band has had continued success with The Black Album, Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, and Death Magnetic, all of which are multi platinum in sales. The core of the group is James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammet, now with Robert Trujillo.
