No Doubt: Too Late


Too Late appears as the ninth track on Return of Saturn. That is the title of No Doubt's fourth studio album, an album I just received. I bought it in 2000 but returned it because I didn't have time to listen to it back then. However, 15 years upon its release I do and I must say it's a great one.

No Doubt: Artificial Sweetener


Artificial Sweetener was included as the sixth track on Return of Saturn. Return of Saturn was released as No Doubt's fourth studio album in 2000. I bought Return of Saturn in the year 2000 but then returned it. However, that was a bad decision because I own it now and it's one of the best records I have ever heard.

No Doubt: Magic's in the Makeup


Magic's in the Makeup was included as the fifth track on the album entitled Return of Saturn. Return of Saturn was released in 2000 as No Doubt's fourth studio album. I love the planet Saturn so I had to get the Return of Saturn, above and beyond the fact that I am a huge No Doubt fan. However, I know quite a bit about the planets so that wasn't my main motivation. For instance, Saturn has over 60 moons, almost as many as Jupiter.

No Doubt: Looking Hot [Jonas Quant remix]


The Jonas Quant remix of Looking Hot is great. It appears as the sixth track on the second disc of the deluxe edition of Push and Shove. I bought the deluxe edition essentially for that track alone, having already purchased the standard edition in 2012.

Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris: We Found Love


We Found Love was released as the lead single from Rihanna's sixth studio album entitled Talk That Talk. It features Calvin Harris as he wrote and produced the track. He later included it on his third studio album and I am blogging about it with other Gwen Stefani and No Doubt tracks because Calvin Harris recently featured Gwen Stefani on one of his tracks for his fourth studio album.

Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch: Sweet Nothing


Sweet Nothing was released as the fifth single from Calvin Harris' third studio album entitled 18 Months. It's a great track and it made for a great single even though I didn't hear much of it other than on one of Tiesto's records.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove


Push and Shove was released as a promotional single from the album of the same name, making it the title track. No Doubt even released a video for this track, which I was very happy about. No Doubt is a great band, if you have not yet heard them.

Madonna: I’m a sinner


I'm a sinner was not released as a single from the album entitled MDNA. But it did appear as a track on her set list for the tour that was in support of that album. The tour was entitled the MDNA tour and I highly recommend it on DVD, CD or Blu-ray Disc known as the MDNA world tour through media release.

Heidi Montag: Superficial


The lead single from Heidi Montag's debut Studio album is entitled Superficial and it is amazing. The name of the album is also Superficial making the lead single the title track. The title track was released in 2010, prior to the series finale of The Hills, the Reality show that catapulted Heidi Montag to super stardom.

Madonna: Revolver (live MDNA world tour)


The Live version of Revolver from the MDNA world tour is pretty exciting. It features Lil Wayne who I am not a huge fan of but his part is pretty exciting as well. In fact he has a part in Paris Hilton's new song which is also pretty exciting but I tend not to subscribe to his material because it is a little raw as in explicit.

Paris Hilton featuring Lil Wayne: Good Time


Good Time was released as the first official single from Paris Hilton in a long time. In fact it has been seven years since the release of her debut Studio album and single. That album was entitled Paris and her debut single was entitled Stars are Blind. This single is much better in my opinion, incorporating much more relevant lyrics for its time frame.

Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris: We Found Love


We Found Love was released as the lead single from Rihanna's sixth Studio album entitled Talk that Talk. I don't think I have bought one single thing from Rihanna since but that's not to say that I didn't like We Found Love; it was actually quite to the contrary. We Found Love was a great way to complete my collection of Rihanna material for the time being.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove


I just saw a crazy picture of Gwen Stefani with Nicole Richie. I found it kind of ironic considering that I have been consuming Paris Hilton material as of late. Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton go way back but I was surprised to see Gwen Stefani with Nicole Richie. I am just listening to Push and Shove by No Doubt so these things are coming to the forefront of my mind.

Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry Child


Don't you worry Child was released as the fourth and final single from the album entitled Until Now. That album served as the second compilation album released by Swedish House Mafia. Swedish House Mafia is a trio of DJs coming from Sweden with one of them being born in Greece. However all of them are EU citizens as both of those nations are member states in the European Union.

Linkin Park: Iridescent


Iridescent sounds so good on my stereo; that is on Compact Disc. If it was on MP3, through my stereo, than I would not be half as excited. However that is one of the benefits of Compact Disc. They are more inconvenient as far as the amount of space they take up and are more expensive but in comparison to what you get in return for those sacrifices; it is 100% worth it in my opinion.

Linkin Park: New Divide


New Divide was released from the Transformers soundtrack album entitled Revenge of the Fallen. Unfortunately it was not included on a Studio album of Linkin Park's like the other two prominent singles they released from the first and third installments of the Transformers film series. However that is most likely, in my opinion, because New Divide is more well-written; not much more but most likely good enough to stand on its own.

Linkin Park: Waiting for the End


The Music video for Waiting for the End is fantastic. It really makes me think of what I want out of life. It is very well-written and so therefore I highly recommend it.

Calvin Harris: Ready for the Weekend


The title track from Ready for the Weekend by Calvin Harris leaves a little to be desired. However it's my first run-through so it might get better. The singing within it is somewhat exciting. But I don't know if I am ready for it.

Linkin Park x Steve Aoki: A Light that Never Comes


The lead single from Recharged is pretty exciting. It's entitled A Light that Never Comes. The album entitled Recharged is a remix album. It is Linkin Park's second remix album. It was just released this year, 2013, at the end of October. I am in love with it, at least A Light that Never Comes. A Thousand Suns is great as well. That is Linkin Park's fourth Studio album.

Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry child


The radio edit of Don't you Worry Child is very interesting. So first off it is not available of the Standard edition of Until Now, only the Deluxe. I bought the Deluxe edition after owning the Standard edition for about a year. However that is how impressed I was with the Standard edition.

Axwell/Swedish House Mafia: Heart is King/Save the World [Knife Party remix]


The track entitled Heart is King by Axwell is super duper amazing. I don't know how to describe it any other way. I enjoy it thoroughly and Axwell, the DJ who produced it, is so amazing in my opinion.

Linkin Park: Crawling


Crawling was released as the second single from Hybrid Theory. I am just getting into it but so far so good. It sounds like it is pretty well-written and seeing as it was released as the follow up single to the lead single released from their debut Studio album, it is probably pretty good; considering that Linkin Park is still going pretty strong. Linkin Park is the name of the band that released Crawling as the second single from Hybrid Theory.

Linkin Park: Recharged


Recharged was released as the second remix album on October 29th, 2013. It complements Linkin Park's fifth Studio album entitled Living Things, considering that there are many remixes found on it with their album version counterparts on Living Things. The two albums really go hand in hand and even though I thought I might not like Living Things, I bought it and discovered otherwise.

Linkin Park: New Divide


The track entitled New Divide was released from the Soundtrack album for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. That film served as the second installment from the latest Transformers film series, of which there are presently three with the fourth slated for release in 2014.

Linkin Park: Living Things


Living Things was released as Linkin Park's fifth and most recent Studio album during the year 2012. That was a great year for me and 2013 actually turned out to be better, although 2014 might not be even though apparently there is at least a Linkin Park Studio album to look forward to. That would be their sixth and I would have to say that at least at this point, I would be getting it.

Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory


Hybrid Theory was released as Linkin Park's debut Studio album. It is a very good record even though they could have used a makeover before they released it. But such is the way when you are releasing your debut Studio album most of the time. It went on to be their top-selling Studio album as far as I know and because of that fact, they received their makeover and today look very fresh and ever so appealing.

Linkin Park: One Step Closer


One Step Closer is very well-written and sounds amazing. My favorite part is when Chester Bennington say "shut up when I'm talking to you." It's the best part and I highly recommend getting Hybrid Theory if for no other reason.

Linkin Park x Steve Aoki: A Light that Never Comes


The track entitled A Light that Never Comes was released as the lead single from the album entitled Recharged. That album was released as Linkin Park's second remix album on October 29th, 2013. I bought it shortly thereafter, along with buying Living Things and Hybrid Theory, not too long after that.

Madonna: Music


My friend tried to sell me on Miley Cyrus the other day and I was like, are you for real? I mean seriously, you have got to be kidding me. I had to then start consuming the Queen's material again because it was as if he was trying to tell me that she could give her a little run for her money. I mean seriously, just take a little listen to Music and discover what I mean by that.

Britney Spears: Radar


The track entitled Radar that appears on Britney Spears' sixth Studio album entitled Circus is pretty amazing. Radar has a sorted history. It was included on Britney's fifth Studio album entitled Blackout but wasn't released officially. However she then included it on Circus as previously mentioned and did release it. In fact it served as the fourth and final single from that album.

Steve Angello: Monday


The track entitled Monday that appears on Swedish House Mafia's first Compilation album entitled Until One is pretty much out of this world. Montag is how you say Monday in German and so not only does it remind me of that because of the Swedes connection to Germany as one of the Germanic tribes but it also reminds me of Heidi Montag given that her name is Monday in German. I am pretty much in love with her music right now so you will have to excuse my excitement.

Heidi Montag: Superficial


The lead single, Superficial, from Heidi Montag's debut Studio album is pretty wicked. It was released prior to the end of The Hills, all the way back in 2010. But it is still pretty good considering its age. However it's quite trendy so I completely agree with critics who might feel it doesn't really have any substance. But Heidi Montag can practically do no wrong in my eyes.

No Doubt: Platinum Blonde Life


The track entitled Platinum Blonde Life that appears on No Doubt's fifth Studio album entitled Rock Steady is pretty exciting. It reminds me of all the Blondes that I adore in life, for example, Gwen Stefani herself, Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag and so on and so forth.

Paris Hilton featuring Lil Wayne: Good Time


Good Time is the first official single release by Paris Hilton in a long time. I love Paris Hilton's singing but I have different taste. For example, Madonna is my favorite singer even though her vocal range is not super great. However she is a great performer and that is much the case for Paris Hilton. Plus she is amazingly beautiful to look at.

Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin: Don't you worry Child


The Music video for Don't you worry Child drives me nuts. It's that good. I taped it onto DVD using my DVD recorder and sometimes I even watch it on YouTube because the quality of Don't you worry Child is outstanding. The Music video compliments the song but the song made for a very strong fourth and final single from Swedish House Mafia's second compilation album entitled Until Now.

Linkin Park: Victimized


Victimized is included as the seventh track on Living Things. Living Things was released as the fifth Studio album by Linkin Park. They have since released a remix album to accompany Living Things. It is entitled Recharged and was just released on October 29th, 2013. They included a remix of Victimized by M. Shinoda on Recharged and it's amazing.

Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory


I just bought Linkin Park's debut Studio album. It wasn't my first choice but I got a 2/$20 deal on two of their CDs. I couldn't resist. It's not that I think I will like Hybrid Theory as much as my first choice which was Living Things, their fifth Studio album. But I wanted to see the album artwork so I could compare and contrast their development.

Linkin Park: Living Things


I just bought Living Things on Compact disc. It was a bit of a splurge however, I am loving Linkin Park right now which is even difficult to say. I remember thinking in the past that they were trying way too hard. But ironically enough, they stopped trying so hard and I began to like them. Linkin Park is a great band.

Linkin Park: Lost in the Echo


The album version of Lost in the Echo is pretty exciting. Lost in the Echo was released as the second single from Living Things and is included as the first track from that album. Living Things was released as the fifth Studio album by Linkin Park and is their most recent Studio album with a sixth set to be released in 2014.

Linkin Park: Powerless [Enferno]


I found out for certain that the remix of Powerless that shows up on Recharged is indeed remixed by DJ Enferno. I was unaware at first because Linkin Park does not list him as a DJ; rather they only use his name. But I went to DJ Enferno's website and saw that the Powerless remix that he did for Linkin Park shows up there.

Linkin Park: Lost in the Echo [Killsonik]


The Killsonik remix of Lost in the Echo is amazing. I can't get enough of it. I always think of how I have finally let American culture go as far as I have moved on. It's not 100% complete but I am most definitely working on it. For example, I am studying German with hopes to move to the European Union.
