It’s sad to see the slow decline of an artist you once loved. I’m not sure if Josh Groban’s music has really gotten worse over the years, or maybe I’ve moved past loving his brand of classical pop music, but either way, I’ve found myself…
One of my best friends handed me Janelle Monáe‘s CD last year and said, “Listen to this- you’ll like it, it’s the kind of stuff you like.” The kind of “stuff” I like? That could mean anything. I had no idea what to expect of…
Before I moved to Australia, and my boyfriend and I were doing the whole long distance thing, one of the ways we tried to connect from afar was by sending each other music. We sent each other mixtapes all the time, but between mixtapes, my…
Daft Punk is easily at the top of the electronic music scene. French musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, have created several big hits in the techno-pop world, including “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” (the latter of which was famously sampled by rapper,…

The last time I reviewed a John Mayer concert CD (Any Given Thursday, 2002) I had yet to see my favourite musician in concert. Finally, in August ‘08, I saw him in California at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre and was absolutely blown away. Mayer was…
When Radiohead released their eighth album, King of Limbs, in 2011, I was SO excited. I still remember waking up on Valentine’s Day and finding out that the first single, “Lotus Flower”, had dropped with a music video. It was the best V-day present I…
Say what you will about Mariah Carey, but one thing is undeniable: the woman has got an amazing voice. Carey has been a pop music diva for years; since her debut in 1990, she’s released 10 studio albums, sold over 200 million records worldwide, won…
Plot Details: This opinion reveals no details about the movie’s plot. I’m not very familiar with ABBA, or their music. To be fair, the Swedish pop group were at the top of the charts in the late 70’s/early 80’s, before I was even born. I…
