Press Play Friday: Muse

Hyper Music It’s quite impossible to ignore the overflow of artistic Rock masterpieces that rise forth from this band’s five studio albums. The trio of musicians craft highly intricate, expressive pure-Rock ballads and symphonies that are continually described as epic. With each repetition of each melody, you’ll begin to find some exciting strain you’ve never…

10 Things That Need to Be In ‘The Host:’ Part 1

Rules & Restrictions As you know, here at Kim the FanGirl, we take our novel to film adaptations seriously. We like to give writers, directors, and producers some much-needed help translating our favorite stories from page to screen (because, you know, they need all the help they can get). Although The Host has already finished…

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. You shouldn’t be surprised that the first official teaser for Season 7 is just that epic. It’s a total given, considering. From the looks of it, when the series…

Press Play Friday: iPod Shuffle

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…

Comic Con 2012 Wrap-Up Extravaganza

The Return of the Nerds Once again, Comic Con has come and gone, leaving hours upon hours of interviews, sneak peeks, and trailers in its wake. For those who couldn’t attend this year’s event, like myself, I’ve compiled a few highlights, a few of your favorites, so you too can be up-to-date will all the…

Press Play Friday: Keane

Perfect Symmetry Welcome to another edition of Press Play. Hi. How are you? I really don’t feel introductions are needed in this particular case, since most, if not all of you have already heard the mellifluous sounds of our featured artist. Breaking out onto the scene in 2004, Keane confirmed our long-standing suspicions that we’d been…

Classic TV Moment: Lucy Goes to Scotland

A McGillicuddy is Here! Remember the days of old, when it was so easy to flip channels, finding one classic television show after another? The lineup, a perfect mixture of timeless classics and fast favorites? You might catch a rerun of Mister Ed or Bewitched, then immediately find an all new episode of Alf or…

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…

Press Play Friday: All-Stars

The Best of . . . As BLOGAVERSARY week comes to a close, I thought for today’s Press Play it would be nice to look back at a few of our favorite featured artists from the past two years. Many talented musicians have taken the spotlight since the segment’s introduction – which featured Mumford &…

BLOGAVERSARY!!!

Can you believe it? Here we are, two years later. It’s been an incredible and wonderful journey, to say the least. These past two years have seriously surpassed all of my expectations. Who knew my obsession with Florence + The Machine would cause such a reaction? I surely didn’t. And who would have thought two…

FanGirl Addiction: Twilight

“That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.” It’s been almost four years since I fell in love with this vampire-romance novel and its subsequent sequels. Over the years, my obsession has gone from excessive to fanatical, casual to calm, but never waning. There was a time when you could find me on…

TV Worth Watching: Being Human

Next to Normal What happens when a werewolf, a ghost, and a vampire all live under the same roof, in a well-worn flat in Boston? No, this is not the initial makings of a humorous quip with a worn out punch-line. You should know me better than that. This is the actually the premise for…
