What is that expression? It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all? I think that’s an apt point when considering this week’s film review. Can you imagine experiencing intense feelings of love, pain, and anger all while under constant threat of death? Not only for you, but for…
Music is such a fun subject to write about, because people become so politically charged when it comes down to what they listen to. I’ve always wondered what specifically drives that passion. If you disagree with the hivemind, you just might get mauled. So be careful dear readers when treading unfamiliar waters. I mention this…
I have to admit that I am very fortunate. I’m fortunate to live in an area of the country that doesn’t experience a lot of natural disasters. Avalanches, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, heatwaves, hurricanes and tornadoes, volcanoes, and epidemics are events that don’t really happen in Edmonton. The worst thing we are at risk of…
Sometimes I will buy an album and have no idea what I am getting myself into. And it usually ends up either one of two ways, either I really like what I bought or I unfortunately have to shake my head at the reality of $15 wasted on my part and $100s of thousands of dollars down…
Hot off the heels of another incredible movie franchise review (AKA Avengers: Age of Ultron)… another blog post about a film in a legacy, but I promise you that it’ll be okay. You’ll probably even like this review. Almost 20 years ago today, because it was released in theatres on November 17th, so I’m off by…
The third week of album reviews in a row? Cool right? And I have a category for this type of blog instalment now! I think you’ll agree that it suits these posts. MELODIC MONDAYS. In what seems like a cleverly calculated month of reviewing vocal duos (EODM) (July Talk), I seem to have gone straight into my next one. When is the…
Do you like to watch epic movie universes? I know I personally do. My all-time favourite cinematic universe is The Fast and The Furious, but there are lots of others that do a fantastic job. Today I have a great universe to share with you, one that is constantly improving upon its ethos and pulling…
Dear readers, have you ever wanted to be in a band with your friend? But you never got off your butt to make it happen? Yeah me too. Well I’m going to cut right to the chase with this week’s album review. I had an opportunity to listen to a couple of friends play music…
Okay readers, I have a confession to make. I don’t want to like The Beatles. Like at all. “The Beatles? How can you not like The Beatles?!?!” That’s probably what you’re thinking. I don’t know, I generally just do not care for their music. It probably stems from some traumatic experience I had as a…
Apparently music writing is something that cannot be taught. Well at least that’s what I read in a review of a book titled “How to Write About Music” which was edited by the same person that wrote the review. We all understand that the digital landscape has changed things significantly, to the point that anyone with 7…
