You know, just today I read that Baz Lurhman passed on Harry Styles to play Elvis in his upcoming biopic because “he’s already an icon.” As obsessed as I still am with One Direction, there’s really no denying this claim. Harry Styles is a bonafide sensation and everything he touches turns to gold. Good thing he doesn’t seem to be slowing down!

Read moreWallows Concert Review
You know, back when I bought my ticket to see Wallows, I think I did so reluctantly. Their first album was kind of a flop in my eyes, but they’ve had a bunch of really catchy songs and EPs since then. When they recently released their sophomore effort, Tell Me That It’s Over, I was finally convinced that I made the right choice. And having come back from the concert, I can confirm that I did!

The album name might be a mouthful, but AWOLNATION’s My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me, is freaking excellent!

It’s also helpful because it’s hard to elaborate on the phrase, “the whole album is amazing,” because they both were. But I’ll try.

Even though I am going to see Wallows over the summer, I was a little nervous to hear their full-length sophomore effort. Their debut had really strong singles, but I was overall supremely disappointed by it, and I was kind of expecting the same thing here. Fear not! Tell Me That It’s Over was actually quite nice!

More new music! I feel like bands I like have been feeding me new albums for the past several weeks! It’s almost too much to keep up with, but I don’t want these releases slowing down at all. To me, this is a sign that things may be morphing slightly back to normal. Or, at least I hope so.
