Bulgaria is home to the Land of Roses (85% of the world’s rose oil supply), tennis player Grigor Dmitrov, and St. Clement of Ohrid, oh, you know, JUST THE SAINT WHO IS BELIEVED TO HAVE INVENTED THE CYRILLIC ALPHABET USED IN MOST SLAVIC LANDS TODAY. NBD. The country belongs to the geographic area called the Balkans (due to the Balkan Peninsula), a peninsular area that is also home to about 12 other countries.

Forgotten Worlds

abigailpixler5452

Do you watch the Olympics like I do? Maybe you do, Maybe you don’t. As for me??? I LIVE FOR IT. And if I were to be completely honest, the whole sports thing isn’t even my favorite part. ITS THE PARADE OF NATIONS! I love watching the citizens of the globe proudly wave their flag around, wearing fun outfits that either show off their flag colors or something else entirely *ahem* TONGA *ahem*. And while I am in love with countries, continents, cultures, languages and the like, EVEN I FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN COUNTRIES. So I will give a few of … Continue reading Forgotten Worlds

Mad Props 6.27.18

abigailpixler5452

Here is our latest batch of music reviews – from electronic to rock to rap! Go enjoy and listen to something NEW! SINGLES Dead Naked Hippies Guillotine Released June 20, 2018 U.K.  |  Grunge/Alternative Rock Probably one of my favorite songs from Dead Naked Hippies to date, Guillotine cuts straight through the bullshit and right to the reality of life, emotional baggage and all. It presents to the listener, in the most transparent of ways, the purgatory we face between revenge and just letting go when it comes to hurt and grief caused by others. And if you didn’t think … Continue reading Mad Props 6.27.18

Meh or Yeh Music Reviews: 03.30

abigailpixler5452

If you are new to reading my reviews, unfamiliar with what these reviews consist of and how I “rate”them, let me explain. I am not “out to get any artist or band” I am not here to tear anyone down, only to give my opinions on what my head, ears and heart hear and take in. I WILL NOT use star ratings or number systems to get my opinion across because well, I’d rather not. I’d rather just say yay or nay FOR ME and move on with my life. Lastly, don’t take my reviews as concrete facts about an … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Music Reviews: 03.30

SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam

abigailpixler5452

Vietnam is a country known for it’s beautiful landscape and beautiful people, and it just so happens to have some pretty spectacular musical acts as well. Their strong suit is without a doubt pop music (V-Pop), holding their own against the powerhouse that is K-Pop, but they also offer some killer hip-hop acts, too. Their rock scene and other genres may be lacking at the moment, but what lacks in that area is easily made up for in the pop music realm. Take a look at who we consider to be Vietnam’s current pioneers in music for their next generation … Continue reading SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam

From The Underground Up GERMANY | RAP/HIP-HOP “In a rap battle, women are traditionally degraded by men. They are remembered when men feel that women behave like them.” – Juju Attitude – CHECK. Catchy – CHECK. Crass – CHECK. Clever – CHECK. Attractive – CHECK. Women involved in the rap music world are hit or miss.
