The Best Soundtracks of the Decade

Posted on January 27th 2010  
best soundtracks In honour of awards season, here is a list of my favourite soundtracks of the last decade. Eight of these are from films, but two are mixes from two of the decade’s biggest television shows; no matter what you might think of the shows themselves, both were responsible for introducing several previously unknown artists to a massive and appreciative audience, and the resulting soundtrack albums were sufficiently relevant and beloved to earn them a place on this list.

Posted on January 26th 2010

All Time Low singer Alex GaskarthThis week, the gossip blog world has been ablaze with the story of Maryland teenagers Alexandra King and Charlotte Armstrong, who showed up at the home of All Time Low singer Alex Gaskarth after allegedly purchasing the address, and interrupted what could best be described as a very private moment between Gaskarth and his girlfriend by banging on the door and demanding pictures.

Best Headphones Under 30 Dollars

Posted on January 20th 2010  

best headphones under 30 dollarsGenerally, for as long as I’ve had mp3 players, I’ve had iPods. Which may be a questionable decision in itself [the only non-iPod I’ve owned was a 2GB Samsung model to tide me over when my second-gen Mini experienced an alarming software error which caused its contents to be replaced by Aerosmith’s back catalogue], but it’s always been fun replacing the stock earphones with more exciting models.
