Mophie Mania

                Recently, I have noticed that a lot of people, including myself, have changed their phone case from the standard otter box, to a Mophie. Mophie is a phone case company and all of their phone cases come with a built in charger! That's right! An entire extra batter charge on top of the one that your phone has. It comes in quite handy and I personally love it! I have the Mophie Juice Pack Pro Outdoor Edition. This is one of the most expensive phone cases that they have. It costed myself 150$. I actually spent more on my phone case then my phone. It was definitely worth it though! There have been countless times where I have been nowhere near a phone charger and I realized that I had my back up charge still.
               Another cool feature is that the case makes all phones compatible with a universal USB cord. This is a huge deal because if you have the iPhone 5 or just any iPhone, it makes the phone to where you could use the android cord. Now obviously the android is not the only phone that uses the USB, but it is one of the most popular. Any Samsung phone has a universal USB input and many others do as well. With this ability, you can get past apple's attempted scam to try and make you buy an entire different cord and you can use a cord that is just about anywhere.
                 Mophie does not just make phone cases for the iPhone. They also have juice pack cases for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and s III. They also have several different products such as power stations, a small rechargeable battery and different holders and such for apple products. Mophie has many different cases and while yes there are going to be somewhat expensive, you don't have to go as far as I did and buy one of the most expensive items on their website. Many different Mophie products are available at retail stores such as Radio Shack and Best Buy. I would personally highly suggest that you, the viewer, go out and research them and if any of their products interest you, buy them. All of their products are nothing but pure quality and if something does break, Mophie offers a one year warranty on all of their products.  

Common Courtesy Crave

               On November 25th, the band A Day To Remember will be releasing their new album, Common Courtesy. It has already been released electronically, but you can only but it electronically on the A Day To Remember official website. The band is releasing the album personally. No record label is releasing it for them. Originally, Victory records was going to be a part of the release, but in 2011, there was a law issue with their recording contract and was not solved until October of 2013. In the end result, A Day To Remember was able to release their new album by themselves, but they owe Victory Records two more albums. The album features 13 songs including 3 bonus songs to everyone who has purchased it.
                 The recording process has been a long and difficult one. Victory records has been a very big pain in their side. A Day To Remember is also signed to indianola records, a recording company in Valdosta, Georgia. The album has shown much thought and a lot of trial and error. A Day To Remember did a great job with this album and it has shown. Common Courtesy is sold at almost every music store and many different other different places that offer music. Common Courtesy in my opinion is one of the best albums created by A Day To Remember.

The Casey Cover

                 There is a channel on YouTube called Coop3rDrumm3r. This is undoubtedly my favorite channel on all of YouTube. Now this may be just because I am a drummer, but none the less, the owner of the channel has talent. The owner of the channel, Casey Cooper, is a drummer that is currently attending Georgia State University. He is involved in the marching band there and has played for several different bands. He currently has several endorsements including Pearl, Vic Firth, Remo, and Zildjian. All of his endorsements are highly credited and each of them being some of the best companies in their field. His channel has a little over 200,000 subscribers and is one of the most subscribe drum channels on YouTube. Many of his videos are drum covers which are videos of him performing the drum part to various songs and genres and adding his own twist on the drums.

                He is a musical genius in my opinion. He has tutorials for various different things. He shows his drum set up for all of the videos he does and he gives extreme detail for his videos. He tries his very best to respond to questions and such that his followers leave him. He shows various different styles of drumming and shows how to perform them. He shows tremendous talent in all of videos, even the older ones, and shows even different set-ups so that way people can just take his drumming and put it right onto their kit. He shows how to take care of a kit and much much more! In my opinion, he is one of the greatest drummers who has ever lived. 

Monique Dobson, The Musical Reviewer

               Recently, a reporter for the BMC Newspaper, Monique Dobson, received a letter from a recording company, Bosue Recordz, complimenting one of her posts on the website. They recognized her for her story "Passionate Brashier Musicians in Guitar Club Strive for Success." Bosue Recordz is a very "underground" recording studio. They currently have no website and I personally was unable to find their building. However, I did find a trademark link showing that they filed the proper U.S. federal trademark papers on Monday, June 13th, 2011, proving that they are in fact real. Bosue Recordz wants Monique to review a new EP, playing her guitar suite, for the band Rip N' Time. The band originated in Los Angeles. The band was created in September of 2013. The Drummer of the band, Vincent Tarrega and the Guitarist, Riley Ripintyme have been wanting to start a band since fourth grade and they are currently in high school. The band's genre rock/indie (Jangle Pop). The recording company has said that they are influenced by some early classic rock bands such as, The Beatles, Queen, and The Bangles.
                  When Monique received the box with the CD in it, she looked very astonished and happy. She has an immense passion for music and is very good at playing the bass guitar. She has wrote many stories for the Brashier Middle College Newspaper and has done a few reviews of different things. In my opinion, this is huge! This recording label could have chosen anyone to review this band for them, but somehow a girl who is still a junior in high school who has never had her name really projected into society fame, gets a chance to start reviewing a band. It's an amazing task that she has been given. I personally believe that she should review this band and continue to keep in contact with this recording company.
