If there is one thing I love about a new year (it’s only February, so it’s still new-ish), it’s new music! Some of the artists that I’ve listed below, have kept me waiting/hoping/praying for years for them to release new full-length studio albums. I am getting antsy! From John Mayer to JoJo, there are tons of new albums that are rumored to being released in 2012, and I cannot wait. I need a serious break from listening to a LMFAO song every 30 seconds on the radio.
So I’ve compiled a list of 10 bands/artists that I am pumped to have pumping through my speakers over the next 12 months. Enjoy! And if I missed any that you’re really looking forward to, let me know! Read More »
Finally. The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. No, not the Peeta-Katniss-Gale sex tape. Something even better! Taylor Swift’s song for Hunger Games is finally here and it’s….it’s Taylor Swift singing. But hey, the good news is that she managed to get through this entire song without talking about any ex’s. So she’s making some personal progress and we’re making some emotional progress as we get closer and closer to the actual movie.
What do you think of the song? Was Taylor Swift the right pick to sing in this movie?
I go back and forth on Taylor Swift a lot. It usually coincides when I’m going back and forth between sober and drunk. When I’m sober she’s just another auto-tuned singer using her past relationships to whine her way to award shows. When I’m drunk, she’s my best friend, my go-to girl for karaoke songs, and the only performer who gets me.
And right now I’m sober, anti-Taylor Swift (unlike our writer Caitlin) and dying laughing at these hilarious photos.
Last night at the American Music Awards, Taylor Swift cleaned up shop taking home the awards for Favorite Female Country Artist, Favorite Country Album and Artist of the Year. And in typical T-Swift fashion, she was shocked. Honestly, I’m shocked…that Adele didn’t win out. But I’m not totally surprised that Taylor won. Everyone loves her. It got us thinking about why. Obviously homegirl can write songs that tug at your heartstrings, and she’s a great entertainer. But she’s not 13 anymore.
She’s 21, resonating with teens and girls in college. I’m 21, and my friends and I (and a majority of college women) are definitely guilty of belting out some Swifty songs whether it’s at the bar or in the car. I can rhyme too, maybe I should be a songwriter. Her music continues to top charts, snag awards, and break records. Why? Read More »
Sometimes when people tell me that I should unplug my chargers when I’m not using them, or that I should not run my A/C as much as I do (I live in Florida!), I just brush it off. I understand and care about global warming and climate change, but it seems like such a big thing that nothing I do will help. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Climate change could ruin Starbucks! I’m going to start unplugging everything in my apartment because I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get my Java Chip Frappuccino in 20 years.
While we all know that college students rely on Starbucks to get them through all-nighters and early science labs, celebrities reply on Starbucks even more. I can’t go a day without seeing a paparazzi picture of some celebrity sipping through a green straw. What are these celebs going to do if climate change kills Starbucks? Maybe then their maids will have to make them coffee. GASP! Read More »
Did you buy Justin Bieber’s new perfume? No?? Then congrats, you’re of the three people in the world who haven’t spray themselves with Someday yet. According to a press release we received, Someday is on its way to becoming the number 1 selling fragrance of the year. This is a perfume that was made by a guy for a woman. If most guys made a perfume for woman, it would smell like pizza and an XBox. However, Justin’s perfume apparently has a fruity smell that’s perfect for 14 to 18-year-old girls. This got us thinking, what do you think these celebrity perfumes really smell like?
Although all of the other celeb perfumes probably smell classically fruity, woodsy or floral, I’d think they should smell like the true essence of our favorite stars. Here’s my take on some popular famous people’s fragrances. Read More »
