Our Review of a couple of music videos.

Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold has announced they will be returning to Australia "hopefully late 2011" after cancelling their tour at Soundwave earlier this year due to the death of their drummer. They are currently on tour in the US and are starting an overseas tour as of June this year but no dates yet announced for their return to Australia.

Their last tour in 2007 being a great success many fans are calling for them to return as soon as possible.

Here is a video from their tour in 2008

Creamfields attracts large amounts of talk.

Over the weekend another dance festival took place called Creamfields and a lot of talk is taking place due to what party goers call a once in a life time show from names such as Deadmau5 and Skrillex. Give some of the artists at the Festival a listen and let us know what you think.

While mentioning Deadmau5, recent news informs us that his head piece used in many sets sold for $19,000 as part of a Japan Disaster appeal participated in by many well known artists. Its good to know that musicians are making a difference using their popularity to sell items for the benefit of those who need it.

Cont. from Rebecca Black's Disastrous Song

It seem's the public can't escape this song of Rebecca Black's.

Just as the hype seems to dull, Katy Perry brings a memory of it back. I had a brief look at this video, and its crazy that all the crowd actually sings along.

After all the hate, it's successfully managed to grab enough of the public's attention to actually remember the lyrics.

69c per song

Amazon.com Inc. this week launched a store that sells digital songs for 69 cents, an attempt to bring more people to its e-commerce website and bolster its plan to eventually charge people to store tunes on distant servers known as the cloud.

This is in direct contrast with itunes with most songs being between $1-$3.

With over 200 songs on this page with most of them being recent and popular songs, give it a look for cheap LEGAL music downloads.
