You know you are music obsessed when you can name and sing along to the songs featured in commercials and TV trailers. I have seen many a commercial and or movie trailer and have wondered what the song is. But I have also seen many a commercial and or trailer that I already know and…
Halloween: the perfect time to go out all night and get candy. Oh wait, we live in Calgary; it will probably be raining or snowing. But have no fear! I have made a list of a few costumes that are funny, scary, unique and warm! 1. Hannah Montana: Everyone will be going as Miley Cyrus…
When I read the Calgary Herald article about the New Black Arts Centre for Music and Art shutting down I was truly saddened. As a young musician myself, I can say on the behalf of many that I would love to have the chance to play in a band, even if it was just a…
Glee has been a huge success within its last four seasons to many teenage girls and boys alike. You can relate to it no matter who you are, popular, music nerd, outcast, really anyone. They have also successfully covered many topics such as texting and driving, teen marriages and pregnancies and school shootings, in a…
I am sure everyone reading this has a book series, movie, or television show that they are obsessed about. That one where you count down the days until the next episode, that one that you buy all the merchandise from so now you have no room in your closet for normal clothes. I get it;…
I had very high expectations for Grouplove’s second album Spreading Rumours. I also had very high expectations for the lead singer, Christian Zucconi. He is one of my absolute favourite male vocalists. I must say, my expectations were met fairly well. With the regular album at 13 songs and the deluxe version at 16, it…
For most of us, it is back to school time. For some people reading, it may be their last year of elementary, or maybe even their first year of junior high. If so, welcome to my blog, I am writing this mainly for you! I’m not going to write the standard back to school/welcome to junior high…
I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Xfest 2013 for free (thank you so much for the media passes Xfest)! For anyone who is not quite sure what I am talking about, Xfest is an annual music festival held at Fort Calgary. It is hosted by Union Events and X92.9, and showcases talented alternative rock…
Vinyl is back – for now Vinyl sales have risen by 27.9 per cent with a projected 5.8 million vinyl records sold this year, compared to 4.6 million sold last year (according to www.digitalmusicnews.com and a fabulous article written by Paul Resnikoff). I’m not quite sure what sparked this change or why people like me love it…

Being a teenager is hard, even being a human is hard! You get pushed by media so much to be perfect and skinny, but there is never enough push to be happy. No one will ever be 100% confident with themselves and no one will ever love themselves 100% and that’s a fact. Sometimes it’s…
I have had the opportunity to see both Bruno Mars and One Direction live within the past week, which is extremely lucky. So if you are just as lucky and you have the chance to go see either band live I have the low down to see I either concert is a good fit or you!…
Although everyone says you should never judge a book by it’s cover, that’s exactly how I chose this book. The cover art is beautiful, the book is beautiful, I think my approach of choosing Everybody Sees the Ants was a job well done. A.S. King is truly royal in my eyes, she writes wonderful books…
My new obsession is Supernatural, a science fiction TV show about two very different brothers who hunt demons (werewolves, vampires etc.). I know it sounds like everything else that is out right now, but trust me, it’s not. The first of nine seasons was shot in 2002 so they were kind of the first people to…
Maybe it’s because they don’t know what to spend all of their money on. Or maybe because “they won’t get in trouble since they are famous”. Whatever the reason, it seems that more and more celebrities are doing drugs, and even if they don’t mean to, are promoting them to their young fans. Now I…
