Sara Bareilles

As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, in pursuit of the big city lights of Los Angeles. Although she attended UCLA’s Communication Studies program, Bareilles spent the majority of her spare time studying her new environment and writing poetry and songs about the busy surroundings. After graduating, she spent the next three years performing those songs at open-mike nights, slowly building her confidence as a musician before playing local venues and festivals. In 2003, she co-produced her first demo, Careful Confessions, and became enthralled with recording techniques. Eager to go back to the studio and create a second full-length album, she started shopping her CD around and signed a deal with Epic Records in April 2005. Producer Eric Rosse took her under his wing the following February and the two spent a little over a year perfecting the orchestration — nearly half of the songs had formerly appeared on Careful Confessions and a new batch of tracks was carefully constructed in order to make her first major-label release as strong as possible. The lyrical themes of the album, entitled Little Voice and released in July 2007, covered her past relationships, insecurities, and inner battles with trying to trust her instincts.Click Sara Bareilles

Breakout

Young Miley Cyrus became an overnight sensation in 2006 as the star of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, but fortunately her family has had some experience with that sort of thing — her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months when the song “Achy Breaky Heart” hit the charts in 1992. The success of “Achy Breaky Heart” was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year — on November 23, 1992, he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world. Destiny’s cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. Miley’s career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared in an episode of the television series Doc, which starred her father; the same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. Miley developed an interest in music early on, writing songs and learning to sing while still a preteen, and in 2005 she landed a role that allowed her to put her skills in acting and music to work. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenage girl leading a double life — by day, she’s Miley Stewart, an ordinary kid dealing with school, her friends, her siblings, and all the other foibles of life for a 14-year-old, while a night she dons a wig and becomes Hannah Montana, a multi-platinum pop star whose career is guided by her dad Robby Stewart, a successful songwriter. However, Miley’s friends don’t know she’s also Hannah, and keeping this a secret is no simple matter. Debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became an immediate success with young viewers, and in October, a soundtrack CD was released, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks, including a duet between Miley and her father Billy Ray on “I Learned from You.” That fall, Miley hit the road, wowing audiences as the opening act for another Disney-spawned pop act, the Cheetah Girls, and in March 2007, the Hannah Montana album was reissued in a special edition featuring a bonus DVD, not long after the show’s theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” was released as a single. A second Hannah Montana album, Hannah Montana, Vol. 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, is scheduled for release on June 26, 2007.

Disturbed

Inside The Fire by Disturbed

Heavy metal band Disturbed came together through the matching of a band with a singer. Longtime friends Dan Donegan (guitar), Mike Wengren (drums), and Fuzz (bass) played together in Chicago for some time before hooking up with singer David Draiman around 1997. Draiman had grown up in a religious family against which he rebelled, being expelled from five boarding schools in his adolescence. His anger found an outlet in the thrashing sound of Disturbed, and the band built up a following on Chicago’s south side before a demo tape led to their signing to Giant Records, which released their debut album, The Sickness, in March 2000. The band gained more fans and exposure playing the main stage of the 2001 Ozzfest, then breaking away to do their own self-described “victory lap” around the U.S. that fall. Also during this period, they managed to record a vicious new version of wrestler Steve Austin’s theme song that was so good it managed to receive radio play, and they were one of the many bands announced to work on a high-profile Faith No More tribute album. The band stepped into the studio after stepping off of the road and began work on a new disc that would reflect their growth as a band. Feeling experimental, the group worked with producer Johnny K and mixer Andy Wallace in order to create an album that could compare to other classic metal records they admired. Amplifying their fondness for groups like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Pantera, and Soundgarden, Believe was released in the fall of 2002 and was recognized as a heavier, more varied, and ultimately superior record to their debut, ultimately reaching the top of the Billboard 200. The tour document Music as a Weapon II appeared in 2004, and the ambitious studio full-length Ten Thousand Fists in September 2005. ~ William Ruhlmann & Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide Click Inside The Fire

The Dark Knight

Batman black t-shirt. Features dark image of Heath Ledger as the Joker. 100% Cotton. Officially Licensed. Immortalize a memorable performance Ever been in a vintage movie store? Seen classic movie images that invoke the whole film just by a single frame? You see the image and you think “classic” just looking at it. You know its a mark in cinema and not just average imagery. For Heath ledger, and no I’m not really a fan (I like A Knights Tale) and obviously his Joker in Dark Knight; this shirt captures his performance silently but brilliantly in a black and white image. It’s awesome! Recommended for anyone that was thrilled by his final performance.Click Buy Now !!!

The Dark Knight Batman

The Dark Knight returns! Featuring the likeness of Christian Bale as Batman. Walk the fine line between hero and vigilante!

The Dark Knight returns to rid Gotham City of villains and to bob on your desk! This surprisingly well-detailed bobble head stands 6-inches tall and is made of resin. He features a true-to-life likeness of Christian Bale as Batman in an intricate black suit and cape atop a Dark Knight base. Order this and you, too, can walk the fine line between hero and vigilante as you purge your home or office of baddies ! The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts the city into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing that line between hero and vigilante.
The Dark Knight Joker HeadKnocker
Awesome collector’s item!!!
I found this at a retail store for $14.99 which was on sale for $10.99. I was amazed because everyone has jacked up their price of every single piece of Joker merchandise. The action figured are going for $70 or more. That is insane. The Joker costumes are going for hundreds and hundreds of dollars too. Don’t miss out on this cheap collector’s item. I got the Batman one to go with it. DO NOT MISS OUT!

The Dark Knight

51Eb2EsmVQL._SL500_AA280_The Dark Knight - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Better after seeing the Movie
When I first listened to this soundtrack, I though it was pretty good, but didn’t really rival some of the other best soundtracks. After seeing the incredible movie, however, I think this is one of the best soundtracks ever. It adds so much to the experience of this movie, so much more suspense and complexity. And when listened to after the movie, it just brings back such wonderful memories. It’s really worth a good listen, especially since it’s impossible to give it the attention it deserves while watching the movie.
My favorite tracks so far are: “Why So Serious”, “Aggresive Expansion”, “Like a Dog Chasing Cars”, and “Watch the World Burn”.

Flo Rida

Low

BY Flo Rida

Flo Rida- Mail On Sunday

Flo Rida is so weak. I got this CD for free, from a friend. And obviously they didn’t want it, and gave it to me. I just got done throwing the CD away. It really isn’t great, I’d rather listen to 50 Cent’s “Curtis” CD.

Flo Rida is a terrible rapper! It’s not even funny…it’s annoying! The single “Low,” which only peaked at No. 1 because of T-Pain, was out even when it was in. And “Elevator” is just as lame, but will probably do good on the charts because of Timbaland. But, for sure..the album will not sale!
