“Catch the Wind” is the willowy single from Donovan’s 1965 album What’s Bin Did and What’s Bin Hid. The song has found constant replay amongst my music collection. Upon first listen you might have mistaken the vocals for that of Bob Dylan, it is not him though. It is the talent of the United Kingdom’s Donovan (Donovan Leitch to be exact).

After 7 years away from the silver screen Superman makes his triumphant return in "Man of Steel", another adaptation that begins with the origin story of the world’s most famous superhero.

Overview: The final season (hopefully that will change) of the epic series saw the “original crime family”, “The Borgias”, band together to fight off threats from outside of the Vatican walls and within them.

Tift Merritt’s “Good Hearted Man” plays like a heavenly slice of dreaminess. It tells the story of a gentleman who sweeps a woman off of her feet in spite of her having given up on her potential to be loved by a man long-term. It is a throwback to the fairytales of old without any dragon slaying. She is a woman content and not in search of an epic love when it finds her in the least expected way.

The latest Iron Man film in the franchise finds our hero, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) after the events of The Avengers. As he "recovers" from PTSD by ignoring it, and getting back to business as usual. This includes trying to keep his relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) intact and constructing an Iron Man army. Iron Man 3 is better than Iron Man 2, and not as good as the first.
