English rock band, Muse, has been around since 1999. I first got turned onto the band around 2008, but have gone back to familiarize myself with the rest of their catalog and have subsequently seen the band explore a number of musical styles since then.
Being a teenager can be really hard. It’s an awkward stage of life- you’re no longer a child, yet right at the cusp of adulthood and that transition alone is enough to send you in a tailspin. Then, things like puberty and what that does…
It’s really funny to look back at some of the music I listened to when I was younger. The majority of it was pop music- pop princesses and boybands were the rage when I was tweleve- but there were a few electic oddballs thrown in…
The name Katharine McPhee probably means very little to you now, though in 2005, she was known for being that year’s runner up on American Idol (she lost to grey-haired crooner, Taylor Hicks). I was a fan of McPhee, rooted for her during the season…
I was surprisingly wary when I heard John Mayer was releasing a fifth album last year. Though I’ve been a fan of his for nearly half of my life, the past two years have been trying; his last album failed to impress me and his…

I have been a devoted Josh Groban fan for many years. I’ve bought all his albums- even the CD/DVDs of his concerts and PBS specials. I loved him, because he had the voice of an angel, the geekiness of what I hoped my future husband…
When you really love a movie, you tend to love everything about it. When I first saw (500) Days Of Summer in 2009, I instantly related to the story. I had suffered my own heart-wrenching, world-ending breakup just a few months prior to the film’s…
I don’t really *get* Katy Perry or why she’s so famous. It’s not that I dislike her- I just don’t understand what the big fuss is about her. What’s so great about her music? It’s stereotypical pop. Why do people like her? She’s never said…
