The Olympics combine sports AND music

I love Vancouver. Vancouver, Canada that is, not Vancouver, Washington. Even though I’m not from there I am loving the hype it is gaining for the Winter Olympics right now. Since the Olympics are a huge event and there will be many more people flowing in and out of the city during this time, they have decided to put on a free music festival for two weeks (Feb 12-28!)

PS the animals for their design are super cute. I want!

Here’s the list underneath the cut:

MTV drops Music Television

This morning my alarm woke me up to some very disappointing news. MTV was no longer Music Television. They have decided to drop the “music television” from their logo, which used to appear at the very bottom. I think we all thought that would happen sooner or later, but I at least thought that MTV would have tried – given some attempt at least.

Instead they pumped out the Jersey Shore and Teen Mom. While reality television is entertaining, what happened to the intended purpose of MTV. Music. Music videos. Will they still have the MTV Video Music Awards? I mean how are we supposed to know what music videos are out and what nominees we want to win if we can’t view them like we used to on their channel.

Personally, I think this is the wrong direction for MTV to be going in right now especially at a time when music needs their fans and their viewers the most. MTV is giving up. They are onforming and I would hate to see it turn into this trashy channel.

How does it feel to sell out now?

In 2007, Justin Timberlake accepted his award at the MTV Video Music Awards by saying,

“Play more music videos!”

How dare you ignore Justin Timberlake

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

It’s coming this Spring! The new park will find it’s home at the Universal Studios in Orlando. I feel like this park opening is going to be like 23948723 x more exciting only because we’ve read everything about it in the books so we know what it will be like except better. I can’t tell you how many times while reading the books, I thought to myself, “I want to quit school and become a wizard. Maybe I’ll get lucky and discover I’m at least a muggle!”

Yeah, I was one of those kids that wanted to live through books. It’s cool. Anyways, the new site is up!! So go here for a little sneak preview.

But, I’m going to leave you with a little bit of news also…
