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.
Are you ready for the collected versions of DC Comics Convergence story. This is one I don’t know if I’m going to love personally or not, and I’m a DC fan. Some of the images of new costumes has me a little worried. Especially my main man Batman. Oh well check out this video where Dan Didio has to explain the story (when you have to explain it, that makes me worry to) on CBR Trailers YouTube channel:

Wow, you don’t hear songs like this to often anymore. The Leeway gives us “If Only” that has that piano lounge feel to it. My thoughts went immediately to artists like Billy Joel and Barry Manilow. Don’t know if this is The Leeway’s sound or if this was a one off for a change of pace, but it is really nice. Check out their music video for “If Only” through the band’s YouTube channel. Great job gentlemen – Richard:
BlackPanda PR and Aili Watanabe send us the next outing for Claus Zinger. This time it is his music video for his single “No One I Know”. This single I would squarely place in the experimental genre. This is one you will have to listen to and judge for yourself if you enjoy it or not and that is the whole thing with experimental music. Thanks to Aili and Claus who provides us with the music video through his YouTube channel – Richard:
The MuseBox graciously shared with us The Eiffels single “More” through SoundCloud. Now they want everyone to check out The Eiffels music video for the single. Thanks to Karla McDonald for sending this our way:
Taped3ck’s “Hey L.A. (Los Angeles)” has a touch of angry rock to it and the music video has some elements of Purge, with the face masks happening. The song itself has a good rhythm to it and is catchy. It isn’t angry enough to drive listeners away from the song. And if nothing else you got to love the hair! Go “hawk”! Here “Hey L.A. (Los Angeles)” through the bands YouTube channel – Richard:
Why would someone send you Dead Flowers….when they are fresh! Yes I’m having some fun. We get a taste of the band Dead Flowers through the Chevy Music Showcase-North Texas YouTube channel. In the video they sing “I Won’t Go”. The band has that Southern Rock band feel that many love. So dig you some Dead Flowers and see them during their tour if they come to your area – Richard:

You already know we love Scarlett and the MuseBox has provided us with some of her singles to listen to. Now we get to see one of Scarlett’s music video’s. This one is for her single “6ft Woman”. For any fan of the 1950’s science fiction movies you will have fun with this video just like Scarlett did below which she provided through her YouTube channel – Richard
For all those that are fans of folk music, Andrew Johnston might be one to watch. He has a sound quality to his voice that reminds you of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.
