Jason Mraz

I love this guy and his songs. Anyway, here is some facts about Jason Mraz.

Jason Mraz is an American singer-songwriter, born and raised in Mechanicsville, Virginia. Mraz's stylistic influences include reggae, pop, rock, folk, jazz, and hip hop. Mraz's international breakthrough came with the release of the first single from the album, "I'm Yours". The single peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Mraz his first top ten single. The song was a huge commercial success in the US with it receiving a triple-Platinum certification from the RIAA for sales of over three million.

So if you are into easy listening and soulful music, try listening to him. His songs may just make your day. :D

Muse

Muse is an ok band that i like. But I only like 1 or 2 songs. Here is a quick description.

"Muse are an English alternative rock band from Teignmouth, Devon. Since their inception, the band has been composed of Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals), and Dominic Howard (drums and percussion). Muse are known for their energetic and extravagant live performances and their fusion of many music genres, including progressive rock, classical music, heavy metal and electronica."

Air Supply

Well, I grew up listening to songs performed by this duo, and they will always remain as one of the old time favorites of mine.

Air Supply are a soft rock duo who had a succession of hits worldwide through the late 1970s and early 1980s. It consists of British guitarist and vocalist Graham Russell (born Graham Cyril Russell, 11 June 1950, Sherwood, Nottingham, England) and Australian lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock (born Russell Charles Hitchcock, 15 June 1949, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), plus various accompanying musicians and singers they hire from time-to-time to augment their sounds.

Some songs that I still listen to occasionally includes All Out Of Love, Making Love Out Of Nothing At All, Chances, Two Less Lonely People In The World and Lost In Love.

Here's a video of their song Making Love Out Of Nothing At All for your viewing (or listening) pleasure.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

This band has been around for quite a long time, formed in 1983 in California. They have produced many albums through their progress into more mainstream rock.

Made up of four members with Anthony Kiedis for vocals, Josh Klinghoffer on lead guitar, Micheal 'flea' Balzary on bass and Chad Smith for drums.

This band has gone through numerous stages of which ill suggest a few songs for your listening pleasure to see what stage/s spark your fancy.

1. Love Rollercoaster

2. Californication

3. Give It Away

4. The Zephyr Song

5. Snow (Hey oh)

These are just a few but they are an AWESOME band and well worth giving them a listen if you haven't ever heard them.

Drake

Hey thought id post a feature on an artist as well and ill tweet our progress soon.
Drake is an upcoming rapper signed to Young Money Entertainment. His most recent mixtape 'So Far Gone' sparked a bidding war by several major labels wanting to sign Drake. He is due to release his debut solo album 'Thank Me Later' late May this year.
I have posted a video of his debut performance of his new single 'Over'
Enjoy

The White Stripes

To help Chean kick start our blog, I thought that I might as well provide some input too. The White Stripes is an American rock dup, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The Group consists of songwriter Jack White(vocals, guitar, piano, and once bass) and his ex-wife Meg White (drums and occasional vocals). They are famous as part of the garage rock revival scene. And have produced a few albums including White Blood Cells and Elephant.

Although I am not as crazy about them as 2-3years ago, I still occasionally listen to their songs. I recommend "Seven Nation Army" for starters. They may be a little alternative and out there, but they're still good.

Ill embed some videos later if I can find out how :P

[edit] and heres the video

The Monster Ball Tour

Just so to kick start things. Considering that we have pretty much decided to have our blog centered around music (and maybe movies?), here's something relating to Lady Gaga. To those who may not know, Lady Gaga (aka Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta)is a rising American recording artist, best known in her exploits in Electronics/Dance genre with her hit albums entitled The Fame and The Fame Monster. Some of the popular hit singles of hers includes "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Paparazzi" and "Bad Romance".

Anyway, getting on the topic, Lady Gaga is currently in Australia for the concert tour named The Monster Ball Tour. Although the concert is expected to be a promotion of the songs from her second album, The Fame Monster, one could also expect some hit songs from the debut album The Fame to be performed.
