Debut albums

he time has come where most Americans will start to clean up around the house and maybe dust off some albums that have been laying around. There will be rainy days, beautiful sunshine, and blossoming flowers that will make everybody just want to get outside. You should get the mentality, at least on the East Coast, that the weather will not be below 30 anymore or the evident snow falls which made people just want to stay indoors. There are some bands that just know how to make music that fits the mood of the weather. Number Five: "Crazy for You" by Best Coast Best Coast is a two piece duo from Los Angeles, California. If anybody knows how to fit the mood of a beautiful day out it is defiantly Best Coast. The debut album, Crazy for You, from has a very beach vibe to it and the melodic lyrics of Bethany Cosentino just make me want to get outside as soon as possible and spin in circles. Cosentino's lyrics are just the perfect icing on the cake for the mult-instrumentalist, Bobb Bruno. Bruno really sets the mood though. The jangle pop…

West Coast crooner Anderson .Paak has already made plenty of music, with three albums under his belt (2014′s Venice, along with two records as Breezy Lovejoy back in 2012) - however, Malibu feels like a debut album. And, in a way, it is, because this record is .Paak’s introduction to a whole new audience.

The Strokes - Last Nite Last Nite is a great song to sing while piss-drunk at a karaoke for two reasons: one, it’s pretty easy to sing and two, you can almost smell Julian Casablancas’ alcohol-soaked breath through his delivery in the original. With a bouncy rhythm section borrowed from Tom Petty’s American Girl, the track helped its parent album Is This It to become one of the most celebrated rock débuts of all time. 63. Estelle feat. Kanye West - American…

The song I have chosen to analyze is Lover You should have come over. It was written and performed by the artist, Jeff Buckley and appears as the seventh track on his debut album entitled, Grace. The album was recorded at, Bearsville studios in, Woodstock, New York and released under the Columbia record label in August of 1994.

Fronted by Annamaria Pinna, Vajra's eccentric performance took me on a musical magical carpet ride taking all 5 senses to places unexplored. I loved Friday night's show so much that I traveled out of Baltimore to see the show again. Playing this time at The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA. Tonight's show brought on a whole different experience. Having been my first time at The Chameleon Club, walking down the dim lit hallways to a small basement setting, where lighting doesn’t matter and space…

motherfucker and threatened to take back the Mercedes you'd purchased for him last Christmas. Your mother sat solemnly on the couch, her hands clenched into fists on top of the newspaper in her lap. She said it was all over. You glowered and glared; you asked what the hell is happening, and will you still be on the talk show circuit next month? The television stations are all color bars and static. Your father says that the talk shows are all gone, and not to worry. He tells…
