It’s not every day that high school students release an album. And it’s even less common for high school students to release a truly fantastic album with a serious wow factor. But that’s precisely what Ugly Bunny have done with their stellar debut, Tokyo You may recall Ugly Bunny from my very positive review of…

Today’s #songoftheday is “Our Time,” a brand-new tune by Lily Allen, which we’ve already listened to a half dozen times. The adorable video features Lily playing four unique characters, all of which we assume are different sides of her personality. Well, maybe not the one where she’s dressed up like a hot dog, but at…
