One of the greatest collaborations of all time has to be Queen and David Bowie with their recording of “Under Pressure.” Combining one of the biggest bands of the 70s/80s with one of the biggest musicians of the 70s/80s seemed like a good idea at the time … and it still is! The classic is …

never shout never. :: "What Is Love?"
There’s not much to say about emo/pop act never shout never. because they’re a fairly new act. Falling along the lines of The Rocket Summer and Owl City, never shout never. follows the same happy-go-lucky formula to make cutesie music.
Ke$ha :: "Animal"
this kid Ke$ha has been dominating the charts! And we all know the radio is the perfect place to find good music, right!? Well, I decided to cave in and see what all the fuss is about
Covers Revue, Vol. 23 – Saosin covers "Penelope" :: Originally by Pinback
Okay, so early last week when I reviewed Autumn of the Seraphs, I totally forgot about this amazing cover that I discovered a while back! “Penelope” is the first song I ever heard by Pinback and it’s also my favorite song by them. On the surface (wait for it …), the song is about a …
Vampire Weekend :: "Contra"
Though I’ve heard much about Vampire Weekend, I hadn’t actually heard the band until recently when MySpace premiered their latest album exclusively. Contra is full of pop and new wave influences, making it a great listen. Especially for when you’re out on a nice spring day!
The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2009, According to Sara
Well, it’s that time of year. Everybody is compiling their lists of Top What-Nots. As for me, I’ve never done such a thing. Such a thing is foreign to me. Listing things from descending order of awesomest to crappiest? That’s too much thinking! But for you, ETSers, anything. 2009 was a great year of discovering …
Thank you for the music!
Oh. Em. Gee. You guys! ABBA got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! I’m so excited! Call me lame, but I LURVE ABBA! My parents weren’t very musical when we were growing up but one thing I do remember is that they loved playing ABBA when we would go on one of …
New Found Glory :: "Not Without a Fight"
New Found Glory. Pop punk was huge for me back then and with bands like Green Day, Blink 182, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, Sum 41 and Jimmy Eat World dominating the genre at the time, it was hard to avoid that infectious poppy sound infused with the fast-paced tempo of punk.
Covers Revue, Vol. 15 – Sugar Ray covers "Abracadabra" :: Originally by the Steve Miller Band
If you’re a regular visitor to Enter The Shell, you may already know about my love for Sugar Ray thanks to a previous blog. Despite what you may think, I didn’t choose to review a Sugar Ray cover merely for the fact that I’d be able to look at pictures of Mark McGrath. No, no. …
Why U2 & linkin park Suck!
Unfortunately, there will be a break in the musication segment this week because I heard something that pissed me off the other day and I can’t keep quiet about! I was watching the newest Transformers movie and at the end of the movie a Linkin Park song plays during the credits. I was sitting there with my brother-in-law and he …
