The 2011 release of the awesome The Muppets film led me on a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of my favourite childhood characters and shows. I grew up in the early 90’s so my Muppets history mainly contains the late 80’s/early 90’s cartoon, Muppet Babies…
I’m a sucker for a man with an accent. I’m not sure what it is, but as soon as I hear a man speak in a British, Irish, or heck, even a Canadian accent, I’m sold. My boyfriend is Australian, so that just proves my…

When I heard Fiona Apple was releasing a new album in 2012, my first thoughts were, “I’m not going through a breakup! How will I relate to her new music?!”
From the moment I heard the song, Sweet Disposition in 2009, I knew I’d love The Temper Trap. The Australian indie-rock band had that perfect combination of lush melodies, alluring vocals, and unforgettable lyrics. The group, made up of lead singer, Dougy Mandagi, bassist, Jonathan Aherne, Toby…
