Italy!!! What an amazing country, La bella vita!  Being a Mediterranean myself, I am always fascinated by this wonderful country.  Their history, food, lifestyle and obviously, fashion!  So many people think London or New York is the centre of the world.  Maybe it is true when looking at it from the business point of view.  But for fashion, history, food and lifestyle, Italy rules!  Visit Roma, Firenze, La Toscana and Milano and you’ll be… sorry, there is no verb to explain the experience.  Like everything else in Italy, even music …

Talent!  Unfortunately in today’s music scene, talent is quite a rare species, shall we say on the verge of becoming instinct.  Come up with a beat and lyrics like “tonight tonight, we are gonna party” and if you’re lucky, or rich and have good lucks you’ll storm the world domination.  Looking at some of the famous artists and bands out there, most of them are backed up by unknown song writers, some of them even have the lyrics written for them.  Ok let’s not put it all down, they know …

Since you’re browsing, or as I say hoofing around this blog, definitely you are not looking for Britney Spears, Rihanna or ball where monsters dance.  You are looking for something with more juicy, with more brains and less money (unfortunately)… something amazingly great!  Yeah that’s the exact word.  So imagine if Bono was less stupid (obviously he has not to be Irish, come on Bono let’s not take it personal), and instead of meeting Edge (woooo… we’re living on the edge!) he met a less depressed Andrew Eldritch, from The …

Have you ever had that blown away feeling, where for 681 milliseconds you do not know what is happening?  There are many ways how to feel such blown away feeling.  You can be run over by a truck, hit by a car, go for sky diving without a parachute, or even hold a rugby ball while All Blacks players are taking you down.
It’s a nice feeling isn’t it?  I mean, let’s face it, the after effects can be bad and ugly, like being hit by a car, but for those …

The generic public listens to what is played on radio stations and in clubs, and do not actively search for music they like.  As a matter of fact, the generic public is only good to answer survey questions for a stupid female magazine, surveys like which is the best lipstick or who is the best looking dumb.  Now let’s set the records straight.  If you agree with what you’ve just read, then you are on the right blog, reading the right post about good music.  If instead you got offended, …

Music is like food.  Ever wondered why the Italians are renowned for having the best food and also restaurants in the world?  Because cooking is not a business for them, it’s not a dirty money making machine but it is their lifestyle.  In fact they cook with style, and no other country can ever dream of achieving the international fame, the Icon status that Italy achieved all over the years.
You don’t need to have a special talent to make baked beans on toast, neither to write a pop song and …

If you’re a Beatles fan, definitely you cannot afford to not buy the new double DVD ‘The 4 Complete Ed Sullivan Shows Starring The Beatles on DVD’.  One would as why?    The answer is simple!
Almost 50 years ago, when The Beatles played for the first time on a US tv station, specifically on Ed Sullivan variety talk show on Sunday, February 9, 1964, 86 percent of all TVs on at that hour, 73 million Americans tuned in.  It was the most-watched program in history to that point and remains one …

When it comes to music I am a fanatic. I adore so many bands and I just can’t seem to choose who the best one is. Have you heard the band Jonny Rumble? They might sound cheesy but there is no doubt that their songs had a huge impact on what people listen today.
The song that first popped in my head when I heard Jonny Rumble’s new album was the “Victim of the Times” that has a different, yet genuine musical arrangement. The band does so much fun stuff in …

The more you listen to music, the more different genres you start looking into, the more you want to discover. At least this is what happened to me and my musical tastes. My “don’t just listen to what is played on the radio” era started in my very early teens, when I just listened to heavy metal, which didn’t take me long to grow out of it. There is nothing wrong in listening with heavy metal, and I still listen to it today, but I also listen …

Chicago’s Welcome to Ashley keep it sweet and simple. They are loud yet smooth, and can rock the hell out of you like Mick Jagger does on a high!
