So there’s probably nothing wrong with spending a thousand or…

Rant and Rave: Beyoncé
No one saw it coming. It was literally a surprise release that even hardcore fans didn’t know about. A few days before the explosive return of Queen Bey, an insider source told the press that Beyoncé’s new album would be released sometime next year. At the stroke of midnight, Friday the 13th, iTunes became a…
Rant and Rave: Lumia 625
With the world being filled with iPhones and Galaxies, it needs to make room for the Windows phone. The Lumia 625 is the new colorful phone brought to you by the convergence of Nokia and Microsoft. From far away, people may mistake it for the iPhone 5C because of its vibrant backing but a closer…
“Oh, Misty Eye of the Mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin’s sons” Unless you’ve been living under a hill for the past few days, these are the opening lines to Ed Sheeran’s I See Fire. Now, I can…
Rant and Rave: Britney Jean
Just when you thought Britney would come out with another chart-topping, ground-breaking and earth-splitting album like Blackout, Circus and In the Zone, she makes a complete 180 and delivers something totally different yet keeping her distinct style very much alive.

Rant and Rave: Bangerz
Ever since that twerking act by Miley Cyrus during the MTV Video Music Awards 2013, bashers, detractors, admirers and even non-music lovers have been talking about the child star, with discussion spanning from the songs, down to her personality, and even morality. Thing here is, she’s a music icon with the goal of selling her…
Rant and Rave: Avril Lavigne
When an artist decides to release a self-titled album, it’s either the debut album or a very personal one that accurately represents the artist’s current state in life; neither is the case in Avril Lavigne’s fifth album. After 2011’s ballad-heavy Goodbye Lullaby was met with lukewarm reviews from both fans and critics, Avril drops down…
Rant and Rave: ‘Batman—Arkham Origins’
The long awaited prequel to the Batman: Arkham franchise has finally arrived exactly two years after Arkham City was released. With the cult following of the Batman: Arkham series and the immensely successful Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, how does Arkham Origins stack up? Arkham Origins follows Batman in his early days of crime fighting…
