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.
Katie Trimble and The MuseBox is another Indie Music PR company that has given us great material over the years. We want to thank them for their continued support and they keep giving with Cafiene’s latest “Love Disease (Christmas in New York)”. Thank you to all that listen to the podcasts and visit our website:
Sun Gods to Gamma Rays gives us a single that has that other worldly feel just in time for the week of Halloween. “A Ghost to Find” is one that harkens back to the psychedelic sound of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. This is one that won’t make you jump up and dance it is more of a melodic tune where you put it in after a long day and relax. Check out Sun Gods to Gamma Rays music video for “A Ghost to Find” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
Check out Moxxi’s music video for the single “From Here to Oblivion”. The song has a great beat and the music video is interesting with a ceremonial feel to it, coming to us through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Here is Immigrant Union’s latest music video “Alison” that is provide through their YouTube channel and a listing of their fall tour dates. Also don’t forget we did a recent podcast on their album Anyway. You can listen to the podcast at this link: http://comicpoplibrary.com/news/ep-15-comicpop-rockin-in-the-dirt-with-immigrant-union/

This is definitely what I thought I would listen to. Sariah’s name is very sophisticated, along with her image and it was strange hearing a sound that didn’t match that. Instead of getting a smoker’s lounge feel like I thought, I got a very poppy sound. It seems almost too immature for Sariah and doesn’t fit her. I was intrigued during the intro because I thought she was going to put an electro spin on classical or older music but that wasn’t the case. Sariah has a great voice and I feel like it’s better suited for standards or other older, timeless genres.

Listen to “Aware, Alive, Awake” via SoundCloud below:
I honestly don’t know what to say about Moxxi but I’m gonna try anyways. First off the intro was cool but too muddled, if it was the exact same intro but cleaner I would’ve gotten into the song a lot more. I was taken by surprise when Moxxi started singing. I wasn’t expecting to hear some lyrics from another song in this one or the pop feel. But I can say that the familiarity of the lyrics from a different song helped me get into the song and the chorus was also very nice. It’s got a strong driving tempo and doesn’t slow down. The only part it really lost me was the brief time when it was slowed down and the very end. The end felt kindle jangly and it didn’t fit right. For the most part, however, I did enjoy Moxxi and I think any pop/retro fans will as well.

Sadly the link to the “From Here to Oblivion” audio and YouTube video are private and we can’t share that with you.

To show that music can touch the hearts of everyone The Mix brings their style of music to North America, traveling from their home country Germany. The band is spotlighting “Give Autism a Voice” for this tour and the band is comprised of a variety of unique individuals. As most will know, we have mentioned on a couple of our podcasts that Logan, one of our Co-Host, has Aspergers, so this hits close to home. If they happen to come to your area (sadly they won’t be in our area) be sure to put them on your calendar for an entertaining evening and to give them your support. Check out one of their videos, “Wo geht die Reise hin” below from the YouTube channel “Neu Erkerode”.
