Chantal Chamandy’s Beladi: A Night At The Pyramids is a live show of Chamandy performing at the base of the one of the 7th wonders of the ancient world, The Great Pyramids of Giza. When approached to do a live concert, Chamandy was asked to just play her guitar and sing, but she wanted more than an average concert. She wanted to tell the story of her roots and culture.

I haven’t heard a British rock band sound so good in years and Silence Will Kill You is now one of my favorite albums to date. Meet foot stomping rock n’ roll, music to give you a swift kick in the ass to feel better and addictive indie tunes with power: meet Some Velvet Morning. It’s eleven songs on Silence Will Kill You, of emotionally driven, catchy lyrics that urges you to add your voice and participate in human history. Silence Will Kill You encourages human involvement and there is no excuse to be passive after hearing this record. This is more than just a rock n’ roll album put together to have some fun on a Saturday night, it’s music that wants you to think.
She had this to say regarding her latest project:
“I would say that it is sort of, fresher, edgier Sex & The City.”

On the surface, I really wanted to like Kiss The Bride, starring Tori Spelling and James O’Shea, but I really had a hard time connecting to the believability. It’s not because the idea that sexuality and relationships are complex in this film, because sexuality and relationships are complex and complicated and not always clear-cut. My main problem was the believability of the cast and the chemistry between them.

I first heard Yelle unknowingly at a dance party when “Je Veux Te Voir” came on and bodies started dancing all around me. That wasn’t the last time I heard that song and every time I heard it, I always wondered who it was.
After figuring it out, I listened to Pop-up in its entirety. The first song starts off with a catchy pop tune full of whistles and hand claps. The album title appropriately describes the sound you’ll hear for the next 50 minutes, but don’t let the electro bubble gum pop fool you. I almost wrote the album off thinking the whole appeal of Yelle was that it was just generic pop with French lyrics, until I really listened to what she had to say.

Exes & Ohs, the lesbian answer to Sex In The City with more realism than The L Word-lite, is one of the rare shows I’ve seen that is the most relatable to the lesbian community. Dubbed as a “dramedy” about lesbians in half-hour episodes, featuring a likable cast of characters that isn’t out of touch from the lesbian audience. Set in Seattle, the series follow the lives of five lesbian friends including the center of the cast, Jennifer Butler (played by the creator of Exes & Ohs, Michelle Paradise), the documentary filmmaker with social awkwardness since her last relationship, demonstrates Sex In The City/Carrie Bradshaw-like quirks with explanations directly to the audience of the classic lesbian situations like “Fake It: It’s Impressive” rule - if you don’t know about what your love interest is discussing, fake your way through it.
