Tuesdays with Morrie is a book that serves as an inspiration for a lot of people as it discusses different things that, as "Mitch" describes, bother the people of today. Some of these are money, death, and family among others.
It tells the story of the ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) stricken professor Morrie Schwartz and his former student that is now a successful journalist. The book is a break from all the chaos and hurt that surround most literature today. It's very inspiring and filled with things that you could never forget. The book also moved me to tears as it approached its ending.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a book that is not just a literary piece but also a guide in life. ü   | Category: | Music | | Genre: | Imports | | Artist: | Utada Hikaru |
Being the illegal downloader that I am, I downloaded Utada Hikaru's latest album after her US release Exodus, ULTRA BLUE. The album is ok, but in comparison to her other albums, this one lacks something. Or maybe it's just the effect of having the not-really successful album Exodus.
There are songs that are really worthy to be listened at and there are some that's just... doesn't have the same appeal that Hikki's usual song has. But nevertheless, this release is ok. Although, I wouldn't really spend my money on buying the album.   | Category: | Music | | Genre: | Alternative Rock | | Artist: | Panic! at the Disco |
Basically, this band pretty much rocks my socks off. Their music made me realize that today's music is not all mainstream blah blah. Their lyrics will make you think about a soundtrack, will make you not believe that these were written by a 19-year old guy. Panic! at the Disco is not your average band.
Their infamous story of success which goes like: - They posted their demos in Peter Wentz's LiveJournal and Pete listened to them. Being amazed with what he heard, he went to a band practice and afterwards signed them into Decaydance, a label headed by Peter Wentz and a branch of Fueled of Ramen. After that, they became the somewhat new Fall Out Boy [In a good way, guys.].
Some might think that they don't deserve the attention and fame they're getting. But for me, that's plain wrong. They deserve every single drop of recognition they're getting. Panic! at the Disco truly have that skills, attitude, support and even the looks that they would be needing. Acquiring a huge fanbase with only 2 uploaded demo songs in their PureVolume perfectly illustrates how the band really make great music. Being the consistent no. 1 artist in PureVolume too is a great achievement, as well as covering some of the most influential music magazines today.
To sum it up, Panic! at the Disco is a band that everyone should give a chance. Who knows, after reading this, you'll be a newly convert fan? =)
