This is an intense cover of the song “Africa” by an a cappella jazz choir from Slovenia called Perpetuum Jazzile. I do enjoy their use of “jazz hands” and sparkle fingers in their performance. Check it out: Related articles: A Beautiful Blend of Voice: Perpetuum Jazzile (converstations.com)
As everyone knows, Michael Jackson died last Friday from heart complications in LA. While i wasn’t shocked by his death, I was amazed by the reaction both by people and the media. Some of my thoughts: First off, while it’s nice to see such happy thoughts and words coming out of the media and blogosphere, [...]
Image via Wikipedia A few months ago i plowed through the book Slash which is “written” by the Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash. I’m a huge fan so i really enjoyed the read.

In the first week it was downloaded 47,000 times on the Xbox alone compared to 10,000 times [...]
I just finished reading the book The Dirt, a semi-autobiography of the 80′s band Motley Crue. It’s a great read that is pretty mesmorizing. All four band members write about their childhood, the crazy period where they become the most famous band in America and then the post-fame period where they turn to drugs and [...]
Check out this reviewer on Amazon.com: (link for him is here) He’s a picky guy and loves Great White, Motley Crue and other 80′s rockers. And while i don’t exactly agree with him, dammit do i respect him.

You read it here first. The next Guns N’ Roses album called Chinese Democracy that’s been rumored for about the past decade is finally coming. And to prove it, there’s a single coming out from it. It’s called “Better” and i’ve got it right here (link). This could turn out like Michael Jordan’s return to [...]
