Rikson
In Celebration of Africa and its music.
“One day I hope to bring joy and awareness to the human race
through my music” explains African traditional vocalist Rikson.

Another controversial Sacha Baron Cohen movie is set to be released in South Africa on July 6th.
Having managed to watch a copy of The Dictator last week, whether you hate or love Cohen, he and Director Larry Charles have produced another touchy shocker of a film.

 For today's installment of my favorite bands on my Exams Playlist, here are two new groups worth having a look at. A band I have started to appreciate over the past year is Neon
Trees. There first big single most known was ‘Animal’ which came out 2 years
ago. Since then they have had a couple great follow up songs such as ‘Our War’
and ‘1983’. This is one of those bands that seem to be slightly unappreciated for
the music they have produced over the last couple years.
Rogue Wave i... Continue reading...

During the stressful exam times I often have one big
playlist of chilled-out music to keep me going. As much as I love to listen to

of giving a single musician review, I have decided to mix it up with the different
artists on my playlist as a whole. Starting this playlist will be some good
songs and bands leading up to my favourite... Continue reading...

Wow playing Silent Hill on the playstation always provided a freaky yet scary experience, poor Harry Mason. Since then the Silent Hill games have been evolving into the fantastic Silent Hill games we play today. Look at Silent Hill Shattered memories, it’s a reimagining of the first Silent Hill, the time the game plays you as much as you play it, the responses you gave in fact changed the way creatures and the environment appeared.
The year 2012 will be the year of release of the new Silen...
