Press pLAy: Movie Picks

 No Strings Attached, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher is a brilliant movie to watch if you're in the mood for a light, funny, romantic mix. Great actors and a great story, including the 'all time romantic gesture' of a guy making a girl a period music mix! haha, no jokes.
 The Way Back is a serious movie with an all star cast and a memorable, gritty story line. It's partly based on the true story of 3 men who escaped from Siberia during WWII and crossed the Himalaya's into India. I was really fascinated watching all the tough stuff this group of escapee's went through and totally amazed at the outcome! This movie is definitely worth a watch. It's pretty long though, but bear with it.


The Roommate, starring Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly is a thriller that will keep you on edge and probably have you shouting at the screen saying 'Don't open the shower curtain, stupid girl!' It's pretty gripping and I'd recommend a watch, even if it is just to see a bunch of TV actors and actresses transcend to the movie scene. Check it out :)

Culture Class: Springtime in Europe

This is my first time experiencing Spring in Europe, and after a long, cold and dark Winter, the beauty of Spring is certainly a breath of fresh air. Sounds cheesy right, but seriously thats how you feel when you walk outside, its refreshing!

The flowers are in bloom, the trees have fresh green buds and when it is not raining, the sunshine is fantastic!

Now that I've had a taste of what Summer will be like, I can't wait to shed the clothes layers and be able to enjoy being outside again.

Snow is great, but sunshine, flowers and clear skies are way better in my opinion.

I love Spring in Europe :)

Press pLAy : Foo Fighters


The Foo Fighters just released their new album Wasting Light today and if you are into rock music and liked their previous albums, then this one will be an awesome listening experience.

I remember their album Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace from 2007 was pretty epic.

Wasting Light is a combination of hard rocking and slower tracks, enough for every mood and my favourites include:

* I Should Have Known
* These Days
* Bridge Burning
* Rope

Check it out asap, and Press pLAy :)

Art Buzz: Lab Art 2011: Hip Hop

Press pLAy : Lena Meyer Landrut


For those who don't know, Lena Meyer Landrut is a singer from Germany who rose to fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest. She is best known for her song Satellite. I literally can't get this song out of my head. It is super catchy and you'll love it.

Satellite is featured on her 2010 album My Cassette Player. The album is full of upbeat songs of the pop genre. There are also a couple of slower, more dreamy songs.

Other cool tracks include:
*  You can't stop me
*  I just want your kiss
*  Not Following

Press pLAy, Satellite will be ringing in your head all day (but in a good way) :)

Press pLAy : Panic at the Disco


Panic at the Disco recently released their latest album Vices and Virtues, and like the album cover suggests you can expect something completely weird and different from this band. That's what I love most about them, they are quirky and not afraid to portray that in their rock music.

Awesome tracks on the album include:
* Hurricane
* Trade Mistakes
* The Ballod of Mona Lisa

Only thing I was kind of disappointed about with this album, was that they weren't as experimental with their song titles. In the past they played with words and come up with brilliant titles, definitely far from the average run-of-the-mill titles. Oh well, its not a train smash!

Check the album out, its pretty rocking, Press pLAy :)
