Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre

The Brontë sisters really know how to cook up a definitive love story, and Jane Eyre is a prime example. Regarded as an important piece in English literature, Jane Eyre’s dark undertones have also made it a prototype in Gothic fiction. The novel tells the story of the titular character, Jane, as she escapes from her abusive situation at Lowood, and then goes on to become a much-adorned governess at Thornfield Hall.

The Warm Fuzzies: Fuzz of the Month

So, what’s the ‘fuzz’ of the month all about? Why, it’s no other than The Warm Fuzzies’ geek-tastic EP! Released in 2011, The Fuzz of the Month is the band’s planned year-long project, where they release one track per month. However, the holiday seasons must have kept them fuzzy in the pj’s, so the EP fell short of 2 tracks; the released 10 are still great, though.

Retroblazer

There’s plenty of first person shooters around, but it won’t hurt to give Retroblazer a try. Created by Amilcar Parra, this is a fast paced, action packed game that combines action and strategy. Available for the Mac and Linux too, it’s got a lot going for it.

Über-Ich: Come and Fetch Me

Craving for a different kind of buzz? Über-Ich‘s new release Come and Fetch Me will surely channel that strange kid within. Serving a light theatrical, unusual, but very pleasant act, Über-Ich’s sound flexes and creeps down to the most crooked paths and ideas creating a sonic acrobat. This Amsterdam-based band is composed of Marnix Dorrestein, Donata Kramarz, and Chris Kok.

Waysayer: Mornings

Rest your head above the clouds and listen to Waysayer’s soft serenade. Mornings is an album composed of six tracks released on December 2012. Take a couple of deep breaths and dive in to the first track on this album. Breath In is a piece marvelously played with Waysayer’s guitar prowess.
