Download This! (Lyric Video Edition)

Video Killed the Radio Star There’s this new thing that’s very popular in the music world. It’s called a lyric video, and it’s a music video that really isn’t a music video. Confusing, I know. Back in the old days, I’m sure we all remember, there was one video for one song. Now, it’s not…

Once

A poetic love-song embedded between ostentatious bouquets of flowery verses. That’s what you’ve come to expect out of a poem, right?

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Bring It On”

Bad Girls Having lost her brother, her humanity and her home, you would expect Elena Gilbert to be a little bat-crap-crazy.

In all seriousness, we have to ask, what the hell, Elena?…

For instance, on the day Dollhouse was cancelled, the common reaction had everyone devouring a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and shedding a few…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Stand By Me”

Acceptance & Denial Saying Goodbye Elena Gilbert sobbed uncontrollably as she held her dying brother in her arms. She tried to deny what her heart was telling her – that he was gone, that he was never coming back – but she couldn’t, wouldn’t believe it. Not this time. Not this way. He was the…

She & Him “Never Wanted Your Love”

“I never wanted your love, but I needed it all” Anytime I listen to the mellow sounds of Indie-Pop duo, She & Him, my mind begins to embark on a fanciful journey; a journey to a world that’s been shaped around wistful thieves and sentimental hearts. I imagine it to be a place designed from…

The Island A Series of Short Stories: The Interview This was the not the first time Damon had been tethered to a tree, nor would it be his last. He scratched at his vervain-soaked bindings, hoping to quickly free himself, but his captor was far too observant. “Is something bothering you?” the hunter asked in…
