With Fans On Her Side, Scarlett Rabe’s “Battle Cry” Video Wins Fight for Rotation on mtvU  
According to mtvU.com, fans helped “Battle Cry” to an “impressive victory” on last week’s round of The Freshmen
The MuseBox today announced that Scarlett Rabe’s“Battle Cry” was overwhelmingly selected by fans as their favorite video during last week’s round of mtvU’s The Freshmen, putting the video into regular rotation on mtvU, MTV’s award-winning college channel. Scarlett, the songwriter known for her “haunting riffs and empowering words” (Marie Claire), will receive maximum exposure this week, as mtvU reaches nearly 9 million U.S. college students. It is the largest, most comprehensive television network just for college students. Scarlett, forbidden as a child from participating in popular culture, but now with well over one million Facebook fans, has earned comparisons to Florence and the Machine and Feist. “Battle Cry” is the first single off Scarlett’s new record, Scarlett, which is available in her online store.
Be sure to check out our MiniPop where April and the crew discuss Scarlett’s EP at the following link: http://comicpoplibrary.com/news/ep-14-minipop-indie-rocker-scarlett-rabes-battle-cry-ep/

Nintendo Art Auction for Autism

autism2autism4

Thanks to AnimeNews Network for this information.  The Animation and Illustration students of San Jose State University created art by using their favorite Nintendo games as inspiration.  The assignment is finished and they have elected to offer their pieces in an online auction.  The proceeds that are raised from the auction will be donated to the Morgan Autism Center.  This is one I will definitely keep my eye on to see if I can win a piece, for as you know Logan, one of our Co-Hosts, has a form of Autism, which is Asperger’s.

This is your chance to own a one of a kind piece of art and help out the medical field in studying autism.  Here is the link to view the art pieces and sign up for the auction to bid: https://www.doodlebender.com/auctions/press-start-nintendo-charity-gallery/items

Boy Epic is Hitting It

boy epic

Boy Epic’s ‘Paralyzed’ is the perfect example for less is more. The flowing, softer instrumental’s lets the listener actually hear the lyrics. The slower tempo also allows us to understand the lyrics. I love the new idea of how love feels, everyone’s heard tons of love songs and sometimes they can all start to blend together. ‘Paralyzed’ sticks out because of the ballad feel of it mixed with creative lyrics. The video went very well with the song, it complemented it in all the right ways. I’ve talked about how I hate videos that are just words but there is a difference between those videos and Boy Epic’s. Instead of forcing the listener to also read multiple slides he is keeping their interest by slowly unveiling what the picture and word is. It keeps the listener engaged and they’re less likely to exit out of the video. I also really enjoy Boy Epic’s unique sense of style and how he is photographed. Prince reboot, anyone?
-April B.

Thanks to the Karla of the Muse Box for alerting us about Boy Epic.  Check out the video that April mentioned below from Boy Epic’s YouTube channel “boyepicmusic”:
