Moving Takahashi

Monica
Cuddle up with a loved one while watching Moving Takahashi, a pleasant addition to the "bad boy" romance genre. This Kickstarter-funded short film was directed by Josh Soskin, an LA-based writer/director. It stars the model-turned-actor Boyd Holdbrook and the innocent-looking Kristin Malco. The film talks about a young hustler/mover (Holdbrook) who stumbles upon a suicidal daughter (Malco) while moving furniture out of a posh LA home. The mover's original plan of robbery changed in a rare fit of conscience to help the dying girl.

Boy Things: Boy Things EP

Valerie
Boy Things is a five piece crew from Hackettstown, NJ. Their brand of music is overall indie, but there's also a whole lot of interesting little bits added in there that help keep everything intriguing. This self-titled EP is the first for the group. It was released on their BandCamp page just last October 2o11 and contains 6 tracks that are mostly perfect for late night rock parties and dancing. Made up of Beth Hansen (vocals,) Adam Cumiskey (guitar,) Vince Rickey(bass,) Eric Dryburgh (drums) and Robert Aldo Blake (synth;) the band clearly has something up their sleeve that's worthy of a listen.

Antoine Reverb: A Revolt of Sorts

Valerie
If you ever want a record to keep you company while you're down in the low, then A Revolt of Sorts might just be your compilation. It's not so much that it will lift your spirits or maybe depress you even more, but it's more like a quiet companion that patiently waits for you to get over whatever it is you're morosing about. The songs they play are a mix of eclectic sounds that sort of float around you. Antoine Reverb is a five-piece crew from Guadalajara, Mexico. The band plays folk rock with a psychedelic and shoegaze touch. Although the band is still relatively unknown, their music has been slowly making the rounds. In fact, they're slated to play at SXSW 2012.

Instagram

JR Kelly
Instagram is a beautiful way to share your world. It's a photo sharing and moment sharing reinvented with lashings of retro style. Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform it and then post it to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. This app is taking the world with around 30 million active users; it was an exclusive Apple product until last week when the Android version was released and racked up more than 1 million downloads in 12 hours. And now Instagram was officially taken over by Facebook for a nifty sum of $1 billion.

John Graham: Success In Retrograde

Valerie
One exciting hip hop artist to watch out for, John Graham rolls out licks and rhymes that create a different kind of hip hop. He doesn't only have that rare talent but he's also bringing hip hop back to its roots while also incorporating a positive vibe. The man behind Ego Free Productions, John runs the company along with his partner, Amir. According to the singer, the company name was appropriate for the singer's brand of sound since he provides music that's "filled with positive messages meant to inspire growth and insight change." Success in Retrogade EP is an amazing record complete with 7 tracks. Each song carries a special message that you won't normally expect or associate with the hip hop genre.

Über-Ich: Mozaïque

Monica
A group as good as Über-Ich will need to fasten their seatbelts to stardom. Their first EP, Mozaïque, is a vivid representation of passion and superb talent rolled into one. This musical trio of Chris Kok, Donata Kramarz and Marnix Dorrestein, offers experimental pop tracks that's bursting with a wide variety of flavors. What makes them different from other groups is their unusual musical palette that consists of light theatrical sounds mixed with eccentric instrumentation.

Monica
Written between December 1845 and July 1846, Wuthering Heights was Emily Brontë's sole novel. Originally published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, which made many to think the author of the work is a man, the novel garnered mixed reaction due to its revolutionary depiction of mental and physical cruelty. Today, the book is considered a classic and a important part of English literature with a number of adaptations in television, movies, radio, musicals and a song by Kate Bush.
