We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
For those that don’t know of Scarlett Rabe, she started out as a piano prodigy at the age of 3. She has millions of FaceBook fans and has turned her attention to being a singer/songwriter. Below is a small clip that Scarlett did talking about herself. Come back tomorrow to hear and see her music video “Battle Cry”.
The vocals of “I Am the River” immediately draw you into the song and keeps you there. The beginning isn’t very busy and I appreciate the simplicity. Even after the drop the instrumentals complimented the vocals, rather than overpowering them. I found myself putting the song on repeat and really feeling the song. Everything in the song had a purpose and I could hear the truth of the song from how it was done.
Jessica Childress
Don’t Forget My Name
4 February 2014
I love the smooth quality of Jessica’s music. The music gives off a smooth jazz feel that I could never get tired of. Jessica herself can definitely sing. She’s got a lower range that she can sing to no end. She’s unique in her own way and doesn’t sound to gruff and scratchy. I can easily see her performing in an after hours club with smoke in the air. I’ll definitely come back to her music and you should to if you have a soft spot for jazz.
This movie looks really interesting. You could call these men the true life Indiana Jones from World War II. Thanks to “Fresh Movie Trailers” on YouTube for the following trailer:
For all the DragonBall fans this news will be great to hear. Akira Toriyama will be doing a tale about Goku’s mother, Gine. The work will be a bonus comic within the compilation manga called Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. It gives the story on how Gine and Goku’s father, Bardock, meet and she fall’s in love with him. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for the heads up.
If you haven’t heard the Will & Ann Eisner Family Foundation has a grant that is geared for libraries. There are two categories: “Will Eisner Graphic Novel Innovation Grant” which provides support to a library that would like to expand its existing graphic novel services and programs; and “Will Eisner Graphic Novel Growth Grant” which provides support to a library for the initiation of a graphic novel service or program. To apply for the grant you will need to visit this link http://www.ala.org/gamert/will-eisner-graphic-novel-grants-libraries to download the application cover sheet and then you will need to write a two page narrative on your library’s need and intentions with the grant funds.
Besides the funds the library that is awarded a grant will receive a collection of Will Eisner’s work and biographies, the current nominees for the Will Eisner Award and a stipend to help attend the American Library Association’s Annual Conference to accept the award.
If you are interest you will need to act fast because the deadline for submitting grant applications is February 7 (This Friday).
