Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …

I love the title of this album, The Alternative to Love by Brendan Benson pretty much. The album has a kind of oldies-sound or rather indie-sounding and very infectious. I love tracks like Alternative to Love, Feel Like Myself, Between Us and many more. Imagine an Oasis …

Chris Brown’s fourth album “F.A.M.E.”; the title is an acronym which stands for: “Forgiving All My Enemies” or “Fans Are My Everything”. This was a better attempt at an album since his not-so-favorable previous album “Graffiti”.

Never buy a Fender unless you buy something equal to or better than an American Standard Stratocaster. ALL other Fenders are terrible. I hate them, it’s as if they don’t even try, they don’t even put Humbukkers or anything. Just a solid chunk of plastic and wood that you …
