TV Review: Girls (Season 1) (2012)

A “first world problem” by definition, is a frustration or complaint only experienced by privileged individuals in wealthy countries.   This phrase is most commonly used as a joke amongst my fellow Generation Y-ers, while we’re moaning about our irrelevant problems on Twitter (i.e. “The soda…

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)

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…

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…

Album Review: “(500) Days Of Summer- Soundtrack” (2009)

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…

Album Review: Gotye, “Making Mirrors” (2011)

Every once in awhile, I come across an album that I love so much that I just can’t stop listening to it. I’ll put it on repeat on iTunes for hours, days, weeks, sometimes even months, until the songs are permanently ingrained in my mind,…

Album Review: Sufjan Stevens, “Age Of Adz” (2010)

I’m not going to lie to you. When I first found out that Sufjan Stevens’ new album, The Age of Adz, had a 25-minute song at the end of the disc, I was wary. Not because I didn’t think all 25-minutes would be awesome (because…
