This Week in Music: Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody” Music Video
A week ago, on May 14th, Maroon 5 released the fourth single off of their 2012 album Overexposed. Unfortunately, I only learned of this today. “Love Somebody” is a song about longing to have a romantic partner. The beat of the song is very calm, with a soft fluttering guitar rift throughout and a medium…

Movie Review: ‘The Great Gatsby’
Yesterday, for my 19th birthday, I went to see The Great Gatsby (2013) with my guy and my best friend. Not having read the book in high school (due to my transferring between schools with two different English literature curricula, resulting in my having missed the reading of Gatsby by the time I had transferred),…

Album Review: Demi Lovato’s ‘Demi’
Tuesday, May 14th, 2013 marked the release of Demi Lovato’s senior album, Demi. This excited me, because any mention of this girl opening her mouth to belt out a tune is an opportunity that should not be taken for granted! Demi took to the streets of NYC to promote her album on the day of…

This Week in Music: Mike Tompkins’ “Shake the Ground”
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 was a big day for Mike Tompkins. Why? The genius of a musician released his first original single. ORIGINAL. NOT A COVER. For those of you who have yet to meet the Canadian YouTube phenom, I’ll show you what this guy is about: Yeah. His voice is his instrument. Literally. He…

Episode Review: ‘Awkward.’ 3×3 “A Little Less Conversation” (with Viggle)
During last night’s episode of Awkward., “A Little Less Conversation”, I decided to test out the Viggle app. I’ll tell you more about the interactive app later. This episode was a lot less dramatic than the first two of the season. It begins with Jenna and Matty walking through the halls. Jenna’s voice over gives…

Movie Review: ‘Lovestruck: The Musical’
So last night I spent some time sitting on the couch in front of my beloved flat screen to watch Lovestruck: The Musical on ABC Family. The movie looked promising, featuring actors like Drew Seeley, Chelsea Kane (known as Chelsea Staub pre-2008; still not sure why she changed her stage name) and Jane Seymour. This…

Selena Gomez Bindi Trouble
I guess all isn’t fair in love and music. On Sunday, April 14th, Selena Gomez took the stage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards show to perform her new single “Come and Get It”. The song definitely caught me by surprise when I first heard it last week, with its Bollywood vibe. I can’t say…

Autumn and Alex were there hosting Alternative Nation, a segment that plays alternative rock songs from artists such as Sixpence None the Richer, Breaking Benjamin, and my favorite, Neon Trees. They played some really good stuff while…

This Week in Music: Jonas Brother’s “Pom Poms” and Matthew Koma’s “One Night”
The first week of April 2013 has brought to us the music of the Jonas Brothers and Matthew Koma. Truth is, I miss the Jonas Brothers. Back in 2007 I was one of those thirteen year old girls who fangirled about anything and everything Jonas. But then they died out. And now they’re trying to…
