Album Review: Sam & Ruby, “The Here And The Now” (2009)

I can’t keep track of how many times I’ve bought an entire album based on liking just one song I’d heard on it.  It really doesn’t bother me to have albums on my iTunes that I haven’t listened to all the way through, because I…

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…

I wasn’t really watching Ed Sheeran’s music video because I was a fan of his music- I was just curious to see Rupert Grint (of the Harry Potter films) star in it.  But after a few minutes of the Lego House music video, I was paying…

Album Review: Linkin’ Park, “Hybrid Theory” (2000)

Man, I had a lot of rage when I was fourteen. I’m not really sure what I had to be angsty about, really: I still lived at home with my mom, didn’t have to pay any bills, didn’t have to work, and I don’t even recall…

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…
