Album Review: Bruno Mars, “Unorthodox Jukebox” (2012)

I’ve had about zero interest in Bruno Mars and his music over the past few years.  I remember the summer of 2010 when he debuted on the radio- first on a guest spot for B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ on You” and then on Travie McCoy’s song, “Billionaire”-…

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: Imogen Heap, “Speak For Yourself” (2005)

I hadn’t heard of Imogen Heap until I saw the movie, Garden State. It was then that I fell in love with the Londoner’s selection on the soundtrack- “Let Go”- which was actually a song from her band, Frou Frou.  I was instantly enthralled with the band’s ambient, sythnpop…

Movie Review: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008)

I’ve always been a fan of musicals, but usually the more conventional ones, like My Fair Lady, The Phantom of the Opera, RENT, etc.  I think the most off-colour musical I’ve seen is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street…I mean, a serial killer…
