Robb Nash, a musical inspiration
The whispers. The rumouring stories. The undeniable facts. The news titles: another takes his life. It’s all a shock at first; the occurrence of death is not an experience we encounter every day. Nor is it something we want to face. A few weeks later? How do you feel about that person who’s suddenly missing from the…
Ultimate Summer Playlist
I have tried to add a good mix of different genres, but I am not really into pop music or rap. So most of the songs from those genres are radio hits that I happen to like, so they might be those annoyingly overplayed songs, if so, I apologize. 1. Otis by Kanye West 2.…

Generally, I’m fairly open to any kind of music, and these three apps have definitely helped me discover new artists, genres, and types of music. However, even if you listen…

Studying may seem like rocket science at times and I feel like “procrastination” is actually the perfect solution towards helping my…
Be Your Own Teacher, Learn an Instrument!
Trust me, learning a new instrument is hard. I have been playing music for 8 years, but it is rewarding. Some people just don’t have the time to practice or they get stressed when they are with a teacher, if this sounds like you, you should maybe think about teaching yourself. Just remember, learning an…
Old Songs for New Year
I can relate to the saying ‘out with the old and in with the new’, but not when it comes to music. Don’t get me wrong, there are so many really talented new artists out there (Ed Sheeran forever~), but I think we’re starting to forget about the beautiful music of the past few decades.…
Music and Mind
It takes around an hour for a c-train from Dalhousie to arrive at Chinook, and when you’re really rushing to get some Christmas shopping done, time stretches. It was 10am on a no school Friday and I was cranky, tired, and impatient to get things over with. I sat at the very end of the…
Music Centre Canada – Summer Jam Camp
So this August, I was fortunate enough to be selected as a participant in a beginner’s guitar camp with 9 other students for a week. Music Centre Canada was gracious enough to provide us with guitars, picks, tuners and the works, free of charge. We were ready to conquer the week with our awesome instructor Danny…

Have you been putting in solid hours at the gym over the long weekend? I know I’ve had a lot more time for basketball, so I’ve decided to share some beats that always pump me up! (Heads up, some of the language is a slight bit explicit. Fair warning has been given.) Most people that…

Are you in the mood for music?
The other day while trying to find some new songs for my iPod, I came across this awesome website which lets you choose an emotion from “Feel like Crying” to “Lost in Thought” to create a playlist just right for how you’re feeling. It even updates every few months with new categories from “Just Woke…
China’s Bans: Communism at its best
I recently returned from a trip to China and don’t get me wrong, it was pretty great. But along the way, I was hoping to keep in touch with the Western world and my friends, but nah, that didn’t really happen. Want to know why? Because China bans that stuff. It wasn’t until I reached…
Disney Mashup
[youtube Zp1BYzIVi0U] Growing up, Disney movies were the source of my childhood. I remember watching movies like Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast 24/7, every day of every week until I found a new interest. Not only me, but every member in my family. Disney was and still is a large part of my…
