April 15, 2013 by 1 Comment
Way back in the 1990s, SEGA released a neat little 2D platformer game with Disney character Mickey Mouse. The Castle of Illusion side-scroller was a hit game for the Genesis/Mega Drive and found it’s way onto the Master System and Game Gear consoles too. Two sequels would also come – Land of Illusion (1992) and World of Illusion (1993).

Simply beautiful. There really should be more of these simple but yet beautiful art pieces that decorate our city. Why must we always have modern art that push boundaries, but yet, no one can understand them or find it at least semi-pleasing? While this art installation might not cause controversy or lead art into new territories, I would really enjoy seeing this on my way to work everyday. It just brings a smile to my face.

Music: Aussie Imports – The Veronicas
February 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The “Down Under” has imported great musical pop groups and singers like INXS and Kylie Minogue to the US. One pop act that has not crossed over just yet, these twin sisters hailing from Brisbane – Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, make up the pop rock group The Veronicas.
In 2005 – The Veronicas released their debut album – “The Secret Life of …”. The LP won me over with a great mix of pop rock beats, up-tempo rifts, and a mixture of pop ballads. In 2007, the second album was released – Hook Me Up. For me it wasn’t a great album, even though they had 4 top ten singles on the Aussie charts. I think they fell in love with the drum machines and that off-putting electro-pop genre.
