Trak Joy’s New Single “Skin”
Let me just say that ‘Skin’ is a really good title for a song. It’s short and interests people, the song itself is lacking though. I liked the intro of the song but it got a little too trippy for me. I didn’t really enjoy how high the vocals were and the voice doesn’t work with the wispy treatment. It sounds like I’ve taken a bad hit of acid and I’m going on a warped trip. The music also seemed a little lost in itself. There was so much going on and not enough that complemented each other. If Trak Joy would bring down the vocals and focus the music they’ll be great.
-April B.
Just because April doesn’t like the trippy sound doesn’t mean that others won’t. Give it a listen. It might be right up your alley. So check out “Skin” through SoundCloud, below:
Spectre in Constantine?
Will the Spectre be showing up in Constantine, the DC Comics Vertigo title on NBC? Things kind of point that direction as the show as added the character Jim Corrigan, to the show to be played by Emmett Scanlan, who is known to be Spectre in the DC Universe. This could be another fun series like Arrow if they introduce several of DC’s supernatural characters to the show.
What would really be cool is if they would tie this into Arrow and Flash for crossovers. But that’s probably to much to ask for.
Space Battleship Yamato Optioned
Skydance Productions has optioned Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) for a live action Hollywood film, according to The Sports Nippon newspaper. The article went on to state that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the movie after he is finished directing Mission Impossible 5. This will give Space Battleship Yamato a 2017 release date. We will have to wait and see if everything advances. If not we still have the anime series and Japan’s live action movie.

Postcards From Jeff is in “A House”
Postcards From Jeff has an unusual name and an even more unusual sound. Jeff’s rough voice is amazing and speaks volumes to me. The heavy percussion in the background is a nice touch as well, it helps a slower song like ‘A House’ feel a little faster and helps the listener stay focused. The lyrics themselves were really nice as well and I can see them connecting with a wide audience. The only thing I would pick out is that Jeff’s voice almost becomes platonic throughout the song. He seems to stay very close to one or two notes and it can get boring to listen to of he’s not careful. Other than that I think Postcards From Jeff is doing pretty good and have them on my list to watch.

Alexander Wildwood’s “Bad Blood”
Love it! The hard beat and driving feel of ‘Bad Blood’ is amazing. Normally I would complain about the warped voice but it fits Alex’s voice and the fast tempo of the song makes it feel right. The organic, intense feeling I got from Alex’s music is truly exciting and makes me want to listen to his other songs. I can even picture him doing a slower song and it still working. It’s very rare for me to have few critics and even rarer for me to have virtually none. This is one of those rarer cases. Everything about ‘Bad Blood’ was working for me and I’m really excited to follow Alex and see what else he comes up with.

Maggie Rogers gives us “Little Joys”
I was really intrigued by the intro of Maggie’s song ‘Little Joys’ but the treatment of her voice didn’t do it for me. I didn’t even mind the slower tempo most of the time. At some spots it felt a little draggy and could have been kept up a little better but I think the rhythm of the vocals pulled it along. The raw feel of her music is brilliant and I wouldn’t change a thing. Especially towards the end where only the strings are playing. As long as Maggie makes sure to not let her music get too draggy and fix that voice treatment she’ll become one of my favorites and others as well.
