Holidays are here

Today we will be going on a two week break and then we will return with new podcasts (January 10, 2014).  Also over the next two weeks posts will become infrequent.  If you haven’t guessed what’s happening yet, I will be on a two week vacation over the holidays.  The Crew and I appreciate everyone who has listened to our shows this year and we are gearing up for next year.  Keep showing us the love in 2014 and tell anyone out their that you think might like the show about us.  Happy Holidays from Richard, April, Chris, Matt, and Logan, the ComicPop Library Crew.

Julia Weldon’s latest Music Video

JULIA WELDON
PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR 
“YOU NEVER KNOW”

“You Never Know” is one of themost vulnerable tracks on Julia Weldon’s sophomore album Light Is a Ghost.

Produced by Saul MacWilliams (Ingrid Michaelson, Dan Romer) and featuring Adam Christgau (Sia, Tegan and Sara) on drums, the album showcases Weldon’s storytelling, voice, and unmistakable charisma.

She draws on everything from indie folk to blues rock, dialoguing with current artists like Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and Cat Power as well as legends like Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith and Suzanne Vega.

Julia Weldon’s possessing personality and captivating music crosses bridges and divides. With unfailing fingers, she tells stories that feel both intensely personal and widely universal. Unapologetically herself, Weldon’s songs grab you— asking you to pull up a chair, pour yourself a whiskey, and stay a while.

The song overall I liked.  I was a little zoned out at the beginning because the intro was a little too long and she didn’t actually start singing until a bet later than what I would’ve liked.  Be careful not to lose the audience.  I like that you went with a melodic song and really enjoyed the lyrics to.  I think the beginning of the video was really confusing and it could have been executed a bit differently.  Overall I think Julia has a lot of great things going for her and is looking at a bright future of growing and conquering.  April B.
