Press Play Friday: Muse

Nerd News: The Doctor’s Return
“Who killed all the Daleks?” Warning! The 11th Doctor is back, and things are about to get a whole lot more awesome. Seriously. He’s the Doctor.

So, We Meet Again I’m sure at one time or another we’ve all had this happen to us: you’re tired after a long, exhausting day at work, attempting to relax by slipping on those comfy headphones and getting lost in that vast world of music, trying to let go of anything and everything you don’t…

Album Review: Maroon 5 – Overexposed
Ladykiller Ten years have come and gone from the time Maroon 5 broke onto the music scene with their debut album, Songs About Jane (I know, I can’t believe it, either), to today. Since then, the group has supplied us with two more records. The most recent, 2010’s Hands All Over – which I wrote…
