Therefore, instead of your usual playlists, here’s some choices that will make your night just a little more eerie. The Beatles – Helter Skelter AC/DC –…
Yes, you know Tom Waits, the friendliest embodying of Satan on Earth. Raspy voice, boozed up and covered in smoke in some obscure bar. Giving the impression of music played on a worn-keys piano, yet still managing to sound like the classiest piece of jazz you’ve ever wanted to encounter on a drunk evening. But…
This year’s winner at Cannes Film Festival for best Director, Drive is one of those exceptional movies you want to see over and over again. Not just for the storyline, as brilliant as it is, nor for the actors play, but mostly for the soundtrack. Inspired by leading European electronic bands like Kraftwerk, this movie…
Amateur bands are most of the time covering classics that have marked their childhood. And it’s just so difficult not to fail unless you’re a great musician, so if they don’t put up a great performance, that’s all right. But when they completely butcher the song and it hurts your ears, well, then they’re entitled…
There are those days when you simply want to pull out your hair just because you’re having an unproductive day or because you didn’t manage your time very well and you have many deadlines approaching.

Although the modern perception of beauty standards seems constructed around a pedophile’s desires, with anorexic models resembling girls who haven’t even menstruated yet, there is a niche that will never die. And that is the niche of big derriere lovers. Like any thing of such social value, it has an impact in music, great artists…
On September 24, Nirvana fans from all around the world celebrated 20 years from the release of Nirvana’s second and most famous album studio, ‘Nevermind’. The album that gave us ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and ‘Come as You Are’, the two songs that a high majority of Nirvana enthusiasts claim are their favorites from the…
When we play computer games, we get so absorbed and caught up in the gameplay that we don’t actually know what gives us that adrenalin rush and that smooth killing spree. Truth is, most of the times the music is so appropriate that it induces a trance-like state we indulge in. We absorb it, but…
One thing that we’ve learned from movies, is that you can’t go through a break up without crashing on your couch for weeks (or moths) surrounded by pizza leftovers, chocolate wrapping, dirty clothes and empty alcohol bottles. Just imagine yourself: you’re watching TV, holding an ice-cream bucket on your lap, a spoon in your right…
