I believe I first saw Regina Spektor during an appearance on a late night show. I was instantly intrigued by her performance- there was something about the way she passionately pounded on the piano, and I loved her distinctive vocals. I had her song stuck…
I’ve owned Damian Rice‘s debut CD, O, for several years now. The Irish singer-songwriter’s music appealed to me after hearing his songs on various films and TV shows. I thought I’d love his brand of sensitive, acoustic guitar ballads, but the disc has instead ended…
The 2011 release of the awesome The Muppets film led me on a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of my favourite childhood characters and shows. I grew up in the early 90’s so my Muppets history mainly contains the late 80’s/early 90’s cartoon, Muppet Babies…
I’m a sucker for a man with an accent. I’m not sure what it is, but as soon as I hear a man speak in a British, Irish, or heck, even a Canadian accent, I’m sold. My boyfriend is Australian, so that just proves my…

One of the most sentimental, touching movies I’ve ever seen is the 2007 Steve Carell drama, Dan in Real Life. The film is one of those few that makes me laugh, cry, warms my heart, moves me to think, feel and enjoy life…all in a…
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…
