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.

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.

Album Review: Matthew Henry’s ‘To the Haunting Northern Winds’
My best friend told me a couple of weeks ago about one of her classmates who has an album. I clicked the link to this digital album immediately after she sent it to me over Facebook, and I was not too disappointed. Matthew Henry’s ‘To the Haunting Northern Winds’ is not the kind of album…

Episode Review: “Glee” 4×16: “Feud”
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen this episode yet, you might want to hold off on reading this. Last night’s episode of Glee was pretty intense. Between holding grudges, male prostitution, and an unofficial marriage proposal, it was hard for me to sit still on the couch while watching it all unfold! First off,…
