Album Review: Coldplay, “Mylo Xyloto” (2011)

I don’t even remember when I first became a Coldplay fan; perhaps it was the first time I saw the beautiful music video for “Yellow”, or maybe it was when I couldn’t get the bridge of “The Scientist” out of my head.  Either way, they’ve…

Movie Review: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012)

There have been very few books that have stuck with me the way Stephen Chbosky’s novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower has.  I read the book earlier this year and instantly fell in love with both the novel’s protagonist and the beautiful way in…

Album Review: Ed Sheeran, “+” (2011)

Album Review: The Temper Trap, “The Temper Trap” (2012)

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…
