Unique Music Websites

The following is a list of some of the fascinating music websites where I discover various types of interesting and fun music. Please understand that I also have an appreciation for the various radio stations here in the United States of America.  It is just that I scout out other websites to help me discover more of a variety of music. This is because I agree with the sentiment that good music is universal and spans across various cultural backgrounds and nations. Additionally, I have eclectic music tastes and these websites help me indulge in my diverse music tastes. It is my intent that sharing these websites uplifts those who view this page and provides ideas on those who feel as I do in exploring broad ranges of music.

(My awesome husband first shared this Pandora website with me around late 2011/early 2012)
(I first found out about this Switzerland based music website of Swiss charts through a listing on one of DJ Bobo’s  greatest hits collections).
The website first caught my attention after it was listed on one of the youtube music channels of musician Armin Van Buuren
http://www.officialcharts.com/
British Music Charts website
Grooves Inc.
I first found out about this website around December 2008 when I was exploring a website to order the Future Trance music compilations. Speaking of Future Trance, the following listing is the Future Trance website:
The following listings are the various Amazon company websites where I also gather more ideas for music and for putting many of the cds in my wishlist for present and future ideas:
Amazon U.S.
Amazon Canada
Amazon UK
Amazon France
Amazon Germany

it is my positive intent to share more magnificent websites in the future as they come into my awareness and time to gather and post them.

My husband and I both agreed to check out The Smithsonian National Zoological Park after reading a story about one of the red pandas escaping. My mother in law came with us and seemed to like many of the exhibits. This place has a wide range of trails to walk on and various species of animals ranging from panda bears, elephants, and different cats  (along with much more).  Obviously, there are also  various signs and safety designs in place to help protect both the animals and tourists. The Smithsonian National Zoological Park also contains an extensive website that allows you to check out various pictures of the animals and trails prior to visiting such as at nationalzoodotsidotedu

Pete's New Haven Style APizza within the Columbia Heights  neighborhood of Washington D.C. caught the attention of my husband and I for both great taste and affordability.  My mother in law offered to treat us for dinner and my husband and I both felt that she would enjoy eating here. Fortunately, our intuitive guess turned out to be correct and she did enjoy the pizza. All three of us shared an 18 inch Down The Hill pizza that contains a tasty blend of sliced meatballs, house made sausage, carmelized onion, roasted peppers, wild mushrooms, and kalamata olived. The workers were friendly and served the pizza within a decent timeframe. Pete's New Haven Style Pizza inside the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington D.C. is perfect for those wanting delicious pizza and friendly customer service at cheap prices.

My mother in law visited from outside the D.C. area and kindly bought over three weeks of groceries from the Giant grocery store in Greenbelt, Maryland for my husband and I. There is a wide selection of meat, produce, and frozen foods within this store. I also like that the cashier cared to provide courteous customer service while scanning the grocery items.

I'm pretty lucky in the fact that my mother in law wanted to visit Bath & Body Works this past weekend.  White Citrus, Sexy Dahlia Rush, Twilight Wood, and Coconut Lime collections are among the multiple products that she generously gifted me with. The workers in this store appeared attentive to her questions and genuinely concerned with letting us know about their latest deals.

My mother in law treated my husband and I to a breakfast this past weekend at Silver Diner in Greenbelt, Maryland. My husband had the huevos rancheros, one of the food items that my mother in law had was a spinach and feta cheese egg dish, and I had the lumberjack breakfast that had pancakes, over medium eggs, (with bacon and sausage). All of us enjoyed our meals and the waiter was attentive to our orders. The Silver Diner in Greenbelt, Maryland is a suitable place to eat at for low cost breakfast food.

The Afterlife Lounge (Remastered)

The Afterlife Lounge (Remastered)

5.0 out of 5 stars Post-Life Music LoungeAugust 22, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
"Afterlife Lounge (Remastered)" by The Afterlife features 12 chillout songs that are symbolic of quiet café tunes. Currently, I enjoy "The Alkemyst" and "Go Easy" the most. "Go Easy" has beautiful female vocals that harmonize perfectly with the music beats to the song. My only caveat is that I only wish that this collection had more vocal type of chillout songs with hints of electronic music tunes. Aside from the caveat, "Afterlife Lounge (Remastered) by Afterlife contains serene chillout music.

50 Must-Have Travel Classics featuring various artists contains a unique mix of classic songs that are evoke a tranquil and merry vibe. Norwegian Dances Op. 35 No. 2 In A Major by Budapest Strings is one of my favorite songs on 50 Must-Have Travel Classics, but there is something for many people within this 50 song compilation.

Many of the stories featured are shared by different psychics and mediums. Websites are shared under some of the names in order for those who wish to further contact them.

Angel Answers: Creating Heaven on Earth
by Andrew Ramer

Angel Answers: Creating Heaven on Earth

5.0 out of 5 stars Celestial DialogueAugust 22, 2013
"Angel Answers" : A Joyful Guide To Creating Heaven On Earth by Andrew Ramer is a channeled book involving information that the author gleaned from celestial influences. Unconventional information involving wisdom and intimate relations are covered in this book. For example, the book contains suprising information that two people can end up wired into each other's energy field for the rest of their lives if they had engaged in intimate relations with each other. The author goes on to provide a shocking explanation on why you are pretty much sharing your soul with this person even if you only interacted with each other for a miniscule amount of time(when intimate relations are involved). There is more information included such as gurus and dancing with the music of the spheres.Beautiful (Remixes)

This review is from: Beautiful (Remixes) (MP3 Music)
"Beautiful" (Remixes) by Alex Gaudino feat. Mario caught my attention via an online discovery. This edition has the starkillers remix, Simon De Jano version, and Dan's kitchen remix. The lyrics appear to be a cheerful song about the singer meeting a person of both great beauty and who left a lasting impression. "Beautiful" (Remixes" by Alex Gaudino feat. Mario is a fun music choice for those who like music blends of trance, dance, and electronica.
An Engineer's Guide to the Spirit World: My Journey from Skeptic to Psychic Medium

An Engineer's Guide to the Spirit World: My Journey from Skeptic to Psychic Medium

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystic AutobiographyAugust 22, 2013
"An Engineer's Guide To The Spirit World": My Journey From Skeptic To Psychic Medium by John Roncz discusses some of the author's spiritual and professional experiences. The only area where I respectfully disagree with the author on is the topic of suicide. Yes, I understand that there many powerful, psychic, and talented people who also share the sentiment suicides have to reincarnate back on earth. Please understand that I do not condone suicide, and I wish to live to see my 100th birthday (in accordance with the will of my higher self and the celestial spirit realm). However, I am highly compassionate of those that have directly or indirectly been affected by suicide and believe that there are some suicides that are allowed to stay in the nonphysical realms under certain circumstances and karmic levels. He explains in the book that he believes that suicides have to immediately reincarnate back to earth and deal with whatever they escaped from. I do believe that many suicides do immediately reincarnate back on earth more because they are reacquainted with why they chose to come to earth to begin with (not because they are forced to). Additionally, I believe that there souls of some suicides that are exempt and/or excused from having to reincarnate back on earth due to karmic and/or other mysterious reasons. It is just that I believe that the spirit realm may not allow proof (at this time) to more men and women on whether suicides have to reincarnate back to earth because it would drastically interfere with the spiritual contracts of millions of men and women (at the current earth vibration). Aside from this caveat, this is a good book. Some of the journeys that he provides heartfelt information involves his mystical experiences in Egypt, how he met someone who greatly impacted his love life, and a user friendly presentation on what he did to manifest a desired car. Roncz also acknowledges many of the psychics and spiritual people that he crossed paths with in his life.

Bath & Body Works the Sweethearts "Sexy Dahlia Rush" Shea Enriched Shower Gel Full Size
5.0 out of 5 stars Luxurious Shower ExperienceAugust 22, 2013
I am lucky to have generously been given multiple sets of bath & body works sets from my mother in law when she was visiting my husband and I such as Twilight Woods, Coconut& Lime, White Citrus, and Sexy Dahlia Rush. I'm humbly thankful for all of the gifts from her, but have to admit that the Bath & Body Works The Sweethearts Sexy Dahlia Rush body wash & lotion are among one of my favorites in the collection. Both the body wash and lotion have a pleasant and subtle grape scent. Using Bath & Body Works "The Sweet Hearts Sexy Dahlia Rush" body wash (in conjunction with the Sexy Dahlia lotion)does also help to soften the skin while leaving delicate hints of jasmine and vanilla. Bath & Body The Sweethearts Sexy Dahlia Rush collection is fantastic for those who love Bath & Body works products.Blurred Lines

This review is from: Blurred Lines (Audio CD)
"Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke (deluxe edition) combines the elements of R&B music with dance beats in a cunning manner. Thicke's previous music offering "Love After War" showcased the theme of romance in a vulnerable and serious way. In contrast, "Blurred Lines" explores love and relationships in a playful, light-hearted style. "Blurred Lines", "Give It 2 U" (feat. Kendrick Lamar), "Feel Good", "Get In My Way", and "Put Your Lovin On Me" are some of the multiple pleasing songs that symbolize living a favorable existence in life. I enjoyed the club inspired hits in "Blurred Lines", but also enjoy the moments where he pours his romantic side out such as in "The Rest Of My Life." I read somewhere online that Paula Patton encouraged his creative expression for the music video in "Blurred Lines." Obviously, she is helping him feel safe to artistically express himself. May they have many more close, loving, and inspired years together."Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke is great for those who have enjoyed any of his previous works and/or like music mashups of eurodance with R&B.
Top Erotic Lounge Music - 55 Songs

Top Erotic Lounge Music - 55 Songs

3.0 out of 5 stars Quiet Erotic MusicAugust 21, 2013
At the time of this writing, "Top Erotic Lounge-55 songs" has a controversial image of a gorgeous female surrounded by what looks to be male suitors seducing her. The positives: 55 various artists songs that have different beats of background music. "Hero" by Joe Leggz & Will Mussett, "Colours of Love" by Cane Garden Quartet, and "Music Box" (Original) by Atthis Alcedo, and "The Trusting Circle" by Chill Destination H262 are among the music tunes on "Top Erotic Lounge-55 songs" that contain elements of originality. It was just that I was hoping for more songs that contained vocals and/or an increase of electronica elements. However, "Top Erotic Lounge-55 songs" is fine for those who want a music compilation that contains a dominance of soft tempo background music selections pertaining to love affair themed chillout music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music TemperamentAugust 21, 2013
Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone") by Anna Kendrick is both a light-hearted and feel good song. The singer confidently sings positive traits of novelty in relation to how she is going to be remembered. Cups (Pitch Perfect's"When I'm Gone") by Anna Kendrick is a mashup of pop and dance melodies.Lee Daniels' The ButlerDVD ~ Forest Whitaker

Lee Daniels' The Butler

5.0 out of 5 stars White House Worker Prestige
August 21, 2013
This review is from: Lee Daniels' The Butler (DVD)
Lee Daniel's "The Butler" film has Forest Whitaker playing an indispensable role of Cecil Gaines. The Gaines character was based on the life of Eugene Allen. Online sources have listed that Eugene Allen lived a long life where he at least saw his 90th birthday (he passed away in Takoma Park, Maryland). Whitaker carefully portrays a resilient Gaines character who overcame serious adversity. It is extremely essential to actually be inside the movie theater to actually watch the first ten minutes of "The Butler" in order to completely understand the character evolution of Cecil Gaines. This one event partially and indirectly affects the consciousness of Gaines as he balances his marriage, family life, and navigating his employment at the White House. Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Lenny Kravitz,David Oyelowo, David Banner, and Mariah Carey are part of the film. Among other well- known celebrities billed to this film: Alan Rickman, John Cusack ,Liev Schreiber , James Marsden, Robin Williams, and Jane Fonda.
