The Gail Borden Public Library just recently had Star Wars: The Nostalgia Awakens Vintage Toy Exhibit at their library. This traveling exhibit is owned and curated by Jarrod Roll, the director of the Monroe County Local History Room & Museum located in Sparta, Wisconsin. The Gail Borden Public Library made a six minute YouTube video with Jarrod and it shows some of the pieces that are in the exhibit. We recently had a two part visit with Jarrod that I am currently editing and hope to have up within the next few weeks. Until then here is the Gail Borden Public Library’s video that you can check out, from their YouTube channel, as a primer – Richard:

Uruguay’s Debut Music Video for “Sabrina Segment”

Uruguay is sharing with our listeners their debut music video for “Sabrina Segment”. This single has a very soulful feel to it and with the drumbeat, along with the images of the music video, feels like a heart beat. There is no harshness to the single, but you feel a desperation within “Sabrina Segment”. The single and video deals with the harshness of life and how it can be very down trodden, but you can still find someone to help make it go a little easier. When you get to the end of the video you will understand what I mean, because I want to leave that for you to interpret on your own, because you could get a different message from it, which is all good. Here’s Uruguay’s music video for “Sabrina Segment” from their YouTube channel – Richard:

Common Deer’s Single “Confession (I Should Have Known)”

Common Deer gives our listeners a chance to hear their single “Confession (I Should Have Known)”, from their I EP. “Confession” lands comfortably in the folk genre. The single has a great rhythm that draws in the listener from the start. It isn’t overly fast, just a nice upbeat feel, even though the single isn’t technically upbeat in it’s lyrics. The drums give you that beat, but they are muted so that the other instruments can shine and it all blends together beautifully with the vocals. As everyone knows I enjoy the folk genre so you know I am interested in what Common Deer will come out with next. Their EP I is available now, so if you enjoy them as much as I do, search for them on your downloader of choice and help support them. Until then here is Common Deer’s “Confession (I Should Have Known)” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Gold Casio’s Single “Socialites and Singer Types”

Talk about a flashback. Gold Casio is sharing with us their disco inspired single “Socialites and Singer Types”. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face while listening to this. “Socialites and Singer Types” has all the hallmarks of a ’70” disco song, but it’s lyrics have modern day reflections. Even the groups name has that ’70’s reference with “Casio”…I mean come on, that’s just cool. Disco is all about having fun so take a moment and have some fun with Gold Casio’s “Socialites and Singer Types” through SoundCloud – Richard:

I really love “Superheroes” by The Script, but I love this tribute video even more.

Bianca Rose’s Music Video for “Because of Love”

Bianca Rose is sharing with the ComicPop listeners her single “Because of Love”, that features Cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson. “Because of Love” is a romantic ballad that steers you through love and when the Cello comes in it brings the single to a new height. I would love to just have Bianca and Ayanna do an acoustic version of this song with just the two women and that is it, I think it would be beautiful. The music video is directed with a classic clean look from the director. Here’s Bianca Rose’s music video for “Because of Love” featuring Ayanna Witter-Johnson through Bianca’s YouTube channel – Richard:

They Call Him Zone’s Music Video for “Just Fall”

They Call Him Zone is sharing with us his music video for the single “Just Fall’. The single is from his upcoming Crow Swan Wolf album that is scheduled to release on February 20. “Just Fall” is an electro/rock/pop single, with the music video following suit in style. The rhythms of the single and the voice and way They Call Him Zone sang reminded me a lot of Billy Idol’s music. So if you are a fan of Idol this will be right up your alley. Here’s They Call Him Zone’s music video for “Just Fall” through his YouTube channel – Richard:
