No Doubt: Hella Good
Happy Birthday Jenny!!!
Let’s get dancing, it’s party time. “Hella Good” has a vintage feel to it, like someone just opened up a time capsule from the 1980’s. I’m getting into a groove here, the beat is totally cool – reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” (1982) or Madonna’s aptly named “Into The Groove” [...]
Muse: Plug in Baby
Muse are well known for their visually pleasing and dynamic live performances. This performance from a 2007 show at Wembley Stadium in London is no exception.
