99 Deatheaters Achieves Perfection…
All right, maybe that’s not exactly what the Onion’s AV Club wrote exactly, but they might as well have. The magazine recently published a list entitled “Let It Die: 23 Songs That Should Never Be Covered Again.” Our cherished “99 Deatheaters,” err, “99 Red Balloons” is number 14. Congratulations to Draco and the Malfoys. I…

The 5th Day of Wrockmas
Five is a magic number, and our fifth Wrockmas gift is just as magical! The Remus Lupins have given us a somber, acoustic song entitled “The Morning After a Full Moon.” This exclusive ditty just might become the song that pops into my head when I’ve had a rough night from this point forward. Click…

Under-Appreciated Song of the Week
“Something Sinister” is how this week’s song has been described. The title is “Such He Was Made” and it is as creepy as can be. It tells the story about a boy named Tom Marvolo Riddle before he became the biggest threat to the wizarding world. It starts with his mother’s death, “she didn’t leave…
