War Poets Single “The Siren Sings This Canticle”
Check out War Poets single “The Siren Sings This Canticle”. The group has a nice clean sound to them and their voices blend well together. If their other songs are like this I’m going to be pleased. You don’t always have to have the blaring music to produce a quality song. Check out their music video for “The Siren Sings This Canticle” through their YouTube channel – Richard

“Patch of Blue” by Frogbelly and Symphony
Frogbelly and Symphony comes to us from across the pond. They have brought a unique sound with them in their single “Patch of Blue”. The single is partially experimental and also has a little bit of a chant quality to it and is part of their album Blue Bright Ow Sleep. This is one that will appeal to a specific person that likes to experiment with their music genres and try something new. The album will be available March 24 for download but until then take a listen to “Patch of Blue” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Giant Star Wars Snow Sculpture
This is just to cool! Look at the scale of this snow sculpture! This was done this year at the 66th Sapporo Snow Festival, in northern Japan. This sculpture is entitled “Snow Star Wars” and was done by:
The snow sculpture, Star Wars, is made by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force: the 11th Brigade; the 1st Snow Sculpture Producing Unit, the 11th Artillery Unit, the 11th Reconnaissance Company, and the 11th Antiaircraft Artillery Company.
They did a tremendous job! If I read the credits correctly the photos are by Kimimasa Mayama.

Alex Pop Project Releases “Wanna Be Your Man” Music Video
Check out the Alex Pop Project’s music video for “Wanna Be Your Man”. The Alex Pop Project is the inspiration of Alexander Ross-Iver. In this single he has Les McKeown, of the Bay City Rollers, join him. The song itself has an old school feel to it which I like, but the video was a little hard to watch with the flashing sequences. Check it out through Tigr Tiger’s link – Richard:
Netflix’s Daredevil Trailer
Picture of a black suited Daredevil. Hopefully this is just a beginning design like in the comic book comparison of when Murdock first dressed up. For me we need the red costume for it to be Daredevil, something like the red costume pictured above. Anyway check out Netflix’s exclusive Daredevil series trailer from Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube channel:
