About This Site
Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.
My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.
Blind Melon is mostly known as the one hit wonder for their 1992 hit, “No Rain” (the music video featuring that girl in a bee costume is still engraved in my brain). The lead singer, Shannon Hoon died in 1995 from cocaine overdose, and the band disbanded, but a couple of years ago, they managed to find a replacement singer by the name of Travis Warren, who was a die hard Blind Melon fan and claimed that he could sing every song word for word. Of course there is going to be a comparison, but their singing style is quite similar. I don’t know if Warren is imitating Hoon’s vocal style or if that’s just how he sings. I can’t imagine that this song will be their “comeback” song but it’s a decent song for band that is reuniting after several years. Speaking of which, Stone Temple Pilots will be on tour this summer. That should be a good show to see.
