Here's a Post: Three Really Uplifting Songs

Whatever. Today is a happy day, the reason being my birthday. For that occasion alone, I've wanted to do a post I've been wanting to do for a little while, to talk about a few songs which have the ability to really cheer someone up, or to feel motivated, or something. Like the title says, uplifting. This is going to be a laid back article, and I probably won't be putting up any links that don't go to Youtube. Just kick back and enjoy (After the bump)

Song One: Good Day by Nappy Roots

I've referenced this song a bit in my review for this rap quintets latest album The Pursuit of Nappyness. This was a single from the band back in 2008, and it helped give this group a tiny bit of notability lost after their debut album. Honestly, this song helped inspire my initial want to review this album. The entire point of this song was to uplift, and the piano advances such feelings farther than any synthesized beat could. 

Folk Metal: One of Metals Fastest Growing Sub-Genres

If you went up to a random person on the street and asked them if they could name a folk metal band, most of them would look at you like you have four heads. However, folk metal is one of metals fastest growing sub-genres. Its popularity is growing among Metalheads all around the world but especially in Europe. It is one of the most unique types of metal ever to come onto the scene combining traditional folk instruments with other metal sub-genres such as black metal, death metal, and even symphonic metal.

Over the Horizon: New Albums to Look out for in 2010

By Alex C.

Looking at video gaming and film, it's not out of the ordinary for many releases to be anticipated for rediculously long periods of time (sometimes up to two years). However, most album releases are pushed under the rug for the mainstream until just a month or so before release. It's not like the album hasn't been announced, but advertisement isn't being pushed anymore, and honestly, I can't help but be just a bit shocked.
