Starburst GummiBursts Review

I was going to write a blog about No Doubt’s appearance on American Idol, but I’ll save that topic for tomorrow. This blog was already written a few days ago. It was just sittin’ around taking up space in my hard drive.


The bag. The Picture was a little hard to take.

This is a nice idea get a gummi and fill it up with a liquid. Just to let you know they are almost exactly like gushers fruit snacks. Do they still make those? The gummi “shell” is not as hard as most gummis, but it was sturdier than a gusher shell. There were no broken or punctured gummis in the pack. I was surprised since I dropped the bag accidentally a few times.


The candy on a plate.

Lemon- my least favorite of the 4 flavors
Orange- good, nothing really special about it
Strawberry- my favorite out of the 4; I think it had the best flavor of all of them
Cherry- tasted almost exactly like cherry gushers

Here’s the commercial. Please tell me if the link is broken.

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Soundtrack Review

First off I want to say that I’m am not familiar with Bear McCeary’s other soundtrack work. I heard he did the one for Battlestar Galtica. I have never listened to a Sci-fi soundtrack before; ever. I didn’t really know what to expect.

To be honest I can’t write a review of it since I didn’t listen to the whole thing. The music got boring and repetitive for me. Almost all the songs on there that I listened to sounded the same. With the exceptions of Shirley’s cover of “Samson and Delilah”, “Ain't We Famous", and "Atomic Al's Merry Melody". I couldn’t really distinguish where one song ended and the other began.

Let’s just say I love her version of “Samson and Delilah” I thought the song was very powerful when it was used in the fight scene. When I first saw the episode it was in which is also called “Samson and Delilah”. I was enjoying the song more than the fight scene. What can I say? It was new material from Shirley, and I was eating it up. After I rewatched the episode a few times I realized how powerful the song is in that scene.

“Ain‘t We Famous” reminds me of old 90s pop rock. The kind of stuff I grew up listening to. Like some from like 94 or 95. It has a little bit of a country feel to it too. I don’t remember it playing in “Automatic for the People”, but I didn’t like that episode much. I was still trying to get into the show. I think it played in the bar scene, but I’m not sure.

"Atomic Al's Merry Melody" is cute and fun. A lot of people say it has a Looney Tunes feel to it. I think there is a little bit of MGM era Tom and Jerry in there too.

Here's an extra for you. You can read my first review blog of the 1st episode of the 2nd season. I didn't write much, but I did use a creative title. You know I didn't even mention the song, but for some reason I did in my paper writings.

Angelfish Album Review

I know I bought that album like 2 months ago. It came in the mail the day my mom was in that accident.

“Dogs in a Cage” when I first heard I don’t really know how to describe it. It just has so much raw energy. I like the use of xylophone in this song

“Suffocate Me” of course this is the song that eventually lead to the formation for Garbage. Seriously listen to this song. The video is awesome too. You should watch it.

“You Can Love Her” I really don’t have much to say about this song. I like it, but I don’t really find anything really special about it.

“King of the World” Shirley sounds a little like Deborah Harry in this song. It sort of reminds me of the Blondie song “Maria” of course the Angelfish song predates it. This one of my favorites.

“Sleep With Me” is a great song.

“Heartbreak to Hate” this one is a fan favorite. I really like it a lot too. It’s my 3 rd favorite song off the album. This is my favorite part “Operator, the lines are dead Ringmaster, the lions are fed Your Honor, you know I was framed Surrounded in this stupid game”.

“The Sun Won’t Shine” I don’t know I really don’t have anything to say about this song.

“Mummy Can’t Drive” This has to be my favorite song off the album.

“Tomorrow Forever” a great break up song. “And all your drooling lapdogs can dig For another bone”. I just love this lyric.

“The End” I don’t know this was the only song I didn’t like on the album. It has yodeling in it. I think that is not really suitable to Shirley’s voice. She’s an incredible singer, but there are just some vocal stylings she can’t pull off. Like when she sang “Can‘t Cry These Tears”.

The cover art is good. It has a nice picture of Shirley wearing a button up shirt, tie and jacket. I think her eyes are closed in the picture, but I’m not sure. In the liner notes there is a picture of her, but it’s just her eyes and nose. It hardly looks like her. Of course I was listing to Angelfish as I was writing this to get in the mood.
