Jersey Shore: Season One, "One Shot"


I am watching the Eighth Episode of Jersey Shore from Season One. I finally put Season Three of Jersey Shore back in my shopping cart on Amazon.com after taking it out. I did that because I was kind of getting tired of this Series. But now that I am back into it; I think it's great. This episode was entitled "One Shot."

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season Two, "Rob’s New Girlfriend"


I just finished the Second Episode from the Second Season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, for the second time, and it was pretty amazing. It was entitled “Rob’s New Girlfriend” and since it featured Rob Kardashian, I was excited. I think he is a very good Christian Celebrity of which there are not many. But since Rob Kardashian wears a cross around his neck worth a pretty price and in fact, sometimes two; I therefore think that he is an amazing Role Model and someone to look up to for the younger Generation and old for that matter.

The Simple Life 4: ‘Til Death Do Us Part, "The Nolan Family"


I just wrapped up the Season premiere of The Simple Life 4: 'Til Death Do Us Part and it was thrilling and exciting. That episode was entitled "The Nolan Family" and they, the family, were also thrilling and exciting but not nearly as thrilling and exciting as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. They are so amazing that it brings me to tears every time I see them.

Gwen Stefani: Now That You Got It


Now That You Got It is a great song.  All these years later it brings on such a deeper meaning.  I am writing this in 2012, as opposed to the year it was released from the album entitled, The Sweet Escape, in 2007.  Now That You Got It is so good that I recommend it to almost anyone.  In fact it is produced by a great act, in and of themselves, entitled Swizz Beatz.

Gwen Stefani: 4 in the Morning


I just finished listening to 4 in the Morning and it was amazing.  Actually it wasn't that amazing, in comparison to the preceding song on The Sweet Escape but it was good enough to get me to the next song on the album, Yummy.  And so therefore since it is in the middle of the album, I recommend it but not as much as the songs surrounding it.  It was released as an official single but at the end of the life of this album and practically at the end of Gwen Stefani's solo career considering her return to No Doubt.

Gwen Stefani featuring Akon: The Sweet Escape


Now I am just listening to The Sweet Escape, but to be honest with you, it's kind of boring.  It was released as the second single from the album of the same name, but it took so long to gain traction, that I completely forgot about it; and quite frankly, the album itself by the time it was popular, referring to the single The Sweet Escape and album as well.

Gwen Stefani: Wind It Up


I am just listening to Wind It Up, which was released as the lead single to the massively successful second Studio album produced by Gwen Stefani; entitled The Sweet Escape.  Of course I say massively successful, as it was the album that got me to purchase her preceding work, as a solo artist, which in my eyes showcases a massive success.

Gwen Stefani featuring Elan: Hollaback Girl (Dancehollaback Remix by Tony Kanal)


The Dancehollaback Remix of Hollaback Girl done by Tony Kanal and performed by Gwen Stefani and Elan is pretty good.  But I much prefer the original, and I have to say that when I get to this version of this song on my Playlist; I somewhat dread it, however having said that, this song in the original format is one of the best songs from Gwen Stefani’s solo career.

Gwen Stefani: What You Waiting For?


I just finished my latest Gwen Stefani Playlist.  I am not even sure if I have ever featured her on my Blog like this in the past but I am definitely doing it this time, since I have listened to these songs before; even as recently as the end of last year.  Having said that; No Doubt is supposedly coming out with their sixth Studio album this year, I will believe it when I see it.  But it has been in the works for a long time so I don’t doubt it, no pun intended...  Updated since this was written a few months ago...  No Doubt is releasing their long awaited sixth Studio album in September.

Gwen Stefani & Eve: Rich Girl


Rich Girl was released as the second single to Gwen Stefani’s debut solo Studio album entitled  Love.Angel.Music.Baby.  That album was released in 2004 and I have extremely fond memories of that time period; unlike the most recent years.  Ever since The Great Recession I have been feeling very tired.  However preceding that things were still on fire; especially during the time period aforementioned above.  The end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 was a great moment in Time.  Rich Girl was released at the end of 2004 but didn’t gain prominence in my mind until January of 2005, that's how great a moment in Time it was.

The Hills: Season One, "Timing Is Everything"


Well I finally finished the Tenth Episode of The Hills from Season One. That makes it the Season finale and for me it was a long time in the making. I received the Second Season last year around this time of year, written in May of 2012, so it has been a long wait just to get through the First Season, let alone the Second Season. However I am looking forward to the Third Season with great anticipation.

Jersey Shore: Season One, "What Happens in AC"


I just finished the Seventh Episode of Jersey Shore entitled “What Happens in AC.” It was pretty interesting, but I am looking forward to the subsequent seasons because they are more interesting and in fact I have yet to see the Third Season in entirety; I have not seen an episode of the Fourth or Fifth Season and I read that it is actually coming back for a Sixth.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season Two, "Kim Becomes a Diva"


I just finished the Season premiere of the Second Season from Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It was pretty good and pretty amazing and it was entitled “Kim Becomes a Diva.” Talk about awe inspiring and amazingly inspirational. I mean who could be a better Diva? I have seen some but they are far and few in between. That’s why it’s so amazing to see a real Diva 'kill it' and not just an imitator.

The Simple Life 3: Interns, "Dentistry"


That was a great Season finale to the Third Season of The Simple Life 3, entitled Interns. I am actually going to miss this show quite a bit. I am not sure if I am going to watch the entire Series again but I am getting sick of seeing the same thing, and I have already decided to give away a lot of my collection. It’s a Law of physics; do something in one direction, expect a different reaction in the opposite direction. For example if you give away your clothes to Charity then you will most likely receive new clothes from another direction, i.e. a store.

Private Practice: Season Two, "Finishing"


I just finished the Eighteenth Episode of Private Practice from Season Two, entitled “Finishing” and it was horrible. I do not recommend this show and I highly regret getting it. It took me months just to get my hands on this season, and I have been watching it ever since; which has been for about a year.  That’s how uninteresting it is, I feel like I am watching a really boring show from the 1980s.

Lost: Season Six, "The Substitute"


I just finished the Third Episode of Lost from Season Six, which is the final season, and it was pretty exciting. It was actually really exciting but I was on a different train of thought when I wrote that so you will have to excuse my mistake. This particular episode was entitled "The Substitute" and it focused on a lot of gibberish as far as I am concerned, considering that when I watch an episode of Lost now, I don't even focus on the Plot anymore; as it is too complicated. However what I do focus on is the Dialogue because it is so well written.

Ugly Betty: Season Three, "Crush’d"


I just finished the Seventh Episode, of Ugly Betty from Season Three entitled “Crush’d” and it was pretty interesting. However, not as interesting as it could have been, given that this is my second time seeing this episode and series in entirety. But I am looking forward to getting something similar in scope, with the same kind of facetious comedy and so on.

P!nk: Raise Your Glass



Raise Your Glass was released about a month before P!nk’s Greatest hits album entitled, Greatest Hits… So Far!!!  It’s actually a great Compilation album and I highly recommend it even though I didn’t download all of it.  However I had some of her preceding work on MP3 so it was pointless to download everything.  But Raise Your Glass is definitely a keeper and you should most definitely purchase it.

P!nk: Please Don’t Leave Me



I just finished listening to Please Don’t Leave Me from my most recent P!nk Playlist.  It was pretty exciting but all I could think about were all of my neighbors who live in the building I live in; who I have met and how I don’t mean to be a rude person.  But when my heart is breaking, as it says in the song, I can’t really help it.

P!nk: Sober (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)



I just finished listening to my most recent P!nk Playlist.  It was pretty exciting but I can't remember what song I am Blogging about, so I will just go with the flow.  Sometimes I Blog so much that I can't remember where I put my latest entry, and that confuses me, but it is just part of the program.  I wrote this Blog entry on my BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer, so I didn’t have access to my master files on my mainframe Computer.  Therefore I am publishing this particular Blog entry for the Bimbo Jones Radio Edit of Sober, having since retrieved access to my master files.

P!nk: U + Ur Hand



U + Ur Hand was released as the third single to I’m Not Dead but it was effectively the second single from I’m Not Dead as when the supposed second single was released worldwide it went nowhere.  In fact it was then re-released as the fourth single in the United States of America.  Of course I am referring to Who Knew, which I also enjoy.  However U + Ur Hand was – the – single which brought I’m Not Dead back to life.  In fact U + Ur Hand did so good that it effectively surpassed Stupid Girls as the most successful single released from I’m Not Dead until the re-release of Who Knew.  But even then it’s a tossup.

P!nk: Who Knew (The Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)



The Bimbo Jones Radio Edit of Who Knew is fantastic.  I highly recommend it.  In fact I highly recommend any Bimbo Jones remix for the most part, especially any done for P!nkP!nk is an amazing artist in general, but any remix done for her care of Bimbo Jones is usually out of this world.  Who Knew was re-released as the fourth single from I’m Not Dead in the United States of America due to poor sales of this album initially.  However by the time this particular song was re-released in the United States; the album had rebounded quite a bit.  Between U + Ur Hand and the re-release of Who Knew; those two singles are really the two songs that saved this album from utter annihilation.

P!nk: Stupid Girls (Junior Vasquez & Dynamic Remix – Radio Mix)



The original version to this song, or album version, is so much better than this particular remix.  I love Junior Vasquez but I think he has had his time.  I remember him fondly from the 1990s, during which he remixed several Madonna songs.  That is most likely why I like him so much, but if you are going to buy any version of this song; then I highly recommend the original version, even though I don’t actually own the original but I am assuming it is very similar to the Music video version, which is amazing.

P!nk: Just Like a Pill



Just Like a Pill was released as the third single from Missundaztood.  It’s a pretty good song but I was never really a huge fan of that album, although I love Don’t Let Me Get Me.  But by the time of this album's release, I was feeling a little bit of P!nk fatigue.  Especially considering she released the lead single from this album, entitled Get the Party Started, immediately after the tragic events of September 11th.  It was difficult to party after that I am afraid to say.

Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris: We Found Love (R3hab’s XS Remix Edit)



R3hab’s XS Remix Edit of We Found Love is a pretty good remix, but it is nothing like his preceding work as far as I am concerned.  The first time I heard of R3hab was through Lady GaGa, and I must say that that particular remix he did, of all songs; Judas, was so well done that it’s difficult for me to like anything else of his at this point.  However We Found Love is a great song and I am sure there are other remixes of this song available that might be better.

Rihanna: Man Down



Man Down was released as the fifth single from Loud, as far as I know.  There is some discrepancy there according to Wikipedia because it says that California King Bed was released 10 days after Man Down and although I remember them being released at relatively the same time; I don’t remember downloading Man Down until well after its release.  However that does not mean that it was necessarily released after California King Bed but I will have to check a better source to find out for sure.  Having said that; this song is amazing and I thoroughly enjoy it.  I wish I would have listened to it more when it was released, but I am making up for it now.

Rihanna: S&M



What can I say about S&M, other than it is a very controversial song?  However I happen to like it quite a bit.  In fact, Britney Spears did a remix with Rihanna for this song, and it is absolutely stunning.  Other than that; it was released as Loud’s fourth single although outside of the United States it was released as the third single.  Which is why I consider it to be Loud’s third single and not fourth because I live outside of the United States.

David Guetta featuring Rihanna: Who’s That Chick?



Who’s That Chick? was released in November of 2010, but really didn’t gain traction; as far as I am concerned, until later that year and into the following year.  It was more like a year-end treat with the release of Loud and Only Girl (In the World) preceding that, by only a couple of months.  However it definitely saved Rihanna from obscurity in my eyes, as I had a difficult time jumping on the What’s My Name? train.

Rihanna featuring Slash: Rockstar 101



Rockstar 101 is a great song, featuring none other than Slash; from Guns N’ Roses fame, of course.  It’s actually really difficult for me to pinpoint the guitar solo performed via Slash, but none the less it is a great song.  I actually prefer the lyrics, such as the melody, performed by Rihanna in comparison to the guitar solo; but the guitar solo is a great additive, especially care of Slash.

Rihanna: Rude Boy



Rude Boy was released as the third single from Rated R; Rihanna’s fourth studio album.  It kept the momentum alive, a little bit, as Hard solidified this album as an album to be reckoned with.  Although it was a stretch considering her prior success and her then future successes.  It was kind of a dark period for Rihanna even though this particular song was a little bit uplifting.  But it took the release of Only Girl (In the World) to really bring Rihanna back to life and to be quite frank it has been somewhat of a struggle since, even though we now have We Found Love as well.

Rihanna featuring Jeezy: Hard



The song Hard was what sold the fourth studio album entitled Rated R for me, by none other than Rihanna.  It was actually a really amazing song although I prefer the remix and of course I am referring to the Jody den Broeder Radio Edit most prominently.  The other remixes are amazing as well, including but not limited to, the Jody den Broeder Club Remix.  But then again I am partial to Jody den Broeder.  I love his remixes and he is ultimately an amazing DJ.

Rome: Season One, "Caesarion"


That was a pretty good episode of Rome. However I am letting go of this show as I feel it would do better in someone else’s hands. I have seen it numerous times and it was somewhat painstaking to get through this episode. It’s always good to share the love and I feel as though if I gift it to someone then the Universe will reward me with something else; since that is a Law in Physics.

The Tudors: Season Two, "The Act of Treason"


I just wrapped up the Ninth Episode of The Tudors from Season Two. It is getting really exciting now. It is actually reaching the peak of the Series in my opinion. This episode was entitled “The Act of Treason” and it was superb. I highly recommend this particular episode and the following. I am not a fan of decapitation but it makes for some great Drama at the end of someone’s life. For example: people usually call on The Lord before their death which is always something that excites me. Not for the pain of it all; rather for the pleasure of being with God.

Legend of the Seeker: Season One, "Hartland"


I just finished the Fourteenth Episode of Legend of the Seeker from Season One and it was pretty good. It was entitled: “Hartland” and I couldn’t help but think of the place I live in considering Hartland is where Richard Cypher grew up and so I am therefore living in the place I grew up in for the third time. He felt as though he had to move on from there so he went across the boundary in the show and never looked back. The people on the other side of the boundary, being in Hartland, destroyed the boundary as well and so therefore it was impossible for him to even go back.

Desperate Housewives: Season One, "Running to Stand Still"


I just finished the Sixth Episode of Desperate Housewives. It’s the Sixth Episode overall as it is from Season One. I am not sure what to do with this show but I don’t know if I want to watch it again from beginning to end. I was on such a role with this show in 2010 when I effectively purchased five seasons and then I went a whole year without buying one season and so therefore I started to watch it again, but it would be so much better to start the Sixth Season.

Private Practice: Season Two, "Wait and See"


I just finished the Seventeenth Episode of Private Practice from Season Two and it was pretty interesting. It actually made me upset, mostly because it is two days away from the 11th anniversary of my sister’s passing and so I always hold my tears for this time of year. I do that out of respect for her but I couldn’t hold it any longer because there was a character in this particular episode, entitled “Wait and See”, who developed cancer and that is exactly what my sister passed away with.

Lost: Season Six, "What Kate Does"


I just finished the Second Episode of Lost from the Sixth and final Season entitled “What Kate Does,” finally. I say that because it took me about a week just to complete it. However it was worth savoring every moment. I am so excited about this season I can’t even begin to tell you. It is the longest I have waited to receive a season of Lost on DVD since I first purchased Season One so many years ago. However unlike a lot of final seasons, this show’s final season is a keeper.

Ugly Betty: Season Three, "Ugly Berry"


I just finished the Sixth Episode of Ugly Betty from Season Three and it was pretty good. This episode, and the last few, featured Lindsay Lohan as a guest star and that was great because I love her to death. Especially since she ruined her wholesome image; there is nothing like some bad press to bring a celebrity up to my level, said facetiously. I think Lindsay Lohan is amazing for what she did, not a bad person, but an amazing one.

Benny Benassi featuring Gary Go: Cinema (DJ Mazza Dub Mix)



The DJ Mazza Dub Mix of Cinema is amazing.  This song is originally produced by a DJ and then you throw another DJ on top of that and you get amazement.  I actually went so far as to download the original of this song first, then went on to download the Alex Gaudino & Jason Rooney Remix of this song and was then finally impressed most of all with the DJ Mazza Dub Mix of Cinema.  I must say it’s a pretty exciting song and although I am not in love with the Gary Go lyrics as much as the rest, they are still good none the less even though I could have done without most of them.  That is one reason why I downloaded so many different versions of this song; I ultimately thought the Dub, over any would be the best for the least amount of singing and it was.

Daft Punk: Derezzed



Derezzed is featured on the TRON: Legacy soundtrack and in my opinion is the best song featured on that soundtrack.  It was actually released as a single as far as I know; which obviously caught my eye as I am more prone to download singles as opposed to songs which are not released.  This particular song is the only release from this soundtrack; however that shouldn’t stop you from purchasing the soundtrack and indeed the Film itself.

David Guetta & Afrojack: Lunar



Lunar was released as a promotional single for David Guetta’s fifth studio album entitled Nothing but the Beat.  According to Wikipedia it is available on the second Disc from the album.  So the first Disc being the Vocal album, the second is the Electronic album and once again, according to Wikipedia, the third being the Party Mix.  It sounds very confusing, but none the less; Lunar is most likely the most notable song and promotional single from the second Disc.

deadmau5: Aural Psynapse (Original Mix)



Aural Psynapse is a great track by deadmau5.  I say track because it is hardly a song.  When I think of a song, I typically think of singing; or at least rapping.  However this track provides none of that, even though that is my preference some of the time.  It’s really fun to zone out sometimes while listening to Music and just focus on the sounds.  For example, you would typically listen to instruments playing Music.  But Electronic music hardly has instruments; rather amazing futuristic sounds that are hard to find anywhere else.

Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina: Stereo Love



Stereo Love is a great song.  It was recorded by Romanian musician Edward Maya and that might be why I was attracted to it; given that my middle name is Edward after my late grandfather.  However I thought Edward Maya was a DJ and not a Musician.  This song also features Vika Jigulina from the former Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.); now simply known as Moldova or the official name, the Republic of Moldova.
