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.
Antix gives us the softer side of Rap. I really enjoyed this single and music video of “Come Home”. The single had a good beat and the vocals are nice and crisp. The video is the style I like were you get a little bit of a short film interspersed with Antix sprinkled in. It seemed heart felt dealing with struggles that some families go through. Check it out through his YouTube channel – Richard:
Live Hart is a young woman that sounds confident in her singing. She has a smooth Jazz/Soul sound. Listening to the samples I’ve listen to so far is that she doesn’t strain her voice to hit notes that are out of her range. She knows her voice and works it beautifully. Check out her song “Please Don’t Say It’s Over” from her YouTube channel. Live Hart won’t disappoint – Richard
Road Man got me from the first drum beat and then the guitar comes in…yes, yes, yes! His current single is “The Meeting” and it sounds great. It has a clean simple beat and his voice is clear and hits all the right notes. He has a little bit of country and rhythm and blues mixed together and I love the sound. He has provided us his music video for “The Meeting” through his YouTube channel so be sure to check it out – Richard
Scotland and Hip Hop, not something you would say usually in the same statement. But here it is with Hector Bizerk. Hector Bizerk is a band formed by Audrey Tait, drummer and producer, and Louie, who was the Scottish battle rap champ. We have the music video from the bands YouTube channel. This is one that will appeal to a certain market, but give it a listen, I’m always surprised at some of the music that I enjoy. It has a great beat and Louie is in form with his sound, check out their “Skin and Bone” music video from their YouTube channel – Richard
Claus Zinger is an interesting artist. He states that he is not the best musician. I think finding yourself as a musician is part of the battle and then you move forward. So he has begun this battle with the single “If You Only Knew” from his self-released album. Claus has some great moments and then some interesting moments. I will have to listen to more of his work to make a definite call, but I can say he is a musician. I love some of the instrumentation that he has just figure out what he wants to do with his vocals will be key. Give him a listen through the Surviving the Golden Age link here and see what you think about “If You Only Knew” http://survivingthegoldenage.com/claus-zinger-if-you-only-knew/ : Richard

I know everyone knows about Leonard Nimoy’s passing this weekend, but I was out of town and did not have access to a computer. Of course most people remember him for his most iconic role of Spock, of Star Trek, which I do as well. However that wasn’t all he did and for a while he didn’t like Spock, as most stereo type roles happen with their actors.
Still after a time he was able to accept the role of Spock and what it meant to many people. For me being a little more introverted and Logan even more with his Asperger’s, I saw a character that could thrive and have friends even with his differences from other people. True he was technically an alien, but he was the one I identified with the most because of Spock’s personality. I have grown out of my quietness for the most part, but I still revert at times and I am a very stoic person with fewer expressive emotions than most.
I know Star Trek means a lot to people in the scientific community, but for me it was the psychological end of Star Trek and Spock specifically that I will remember. People knew Spock, but he only had a handful of true friends, which he treasured. As I said I am that same way….people know me, but I have very few true friends and once they become that for me they are for the rest of my time. Family that I love have an even more special place within my heart, but true friendship is right next to that level.
My instructors, over the years, this website and podcast have opened up a new avenue for me to meet new people for all areas of life and I have found I am not as alone as I sometimes think….I just wish we could all be in one place to have a good time any time we wanted.
Thank you for indulging me in this ramble and to the Nimoy family I send my deepest sympathies and prayers and know that your loved one touch some many people in so many different ways, this is but one. – Richard
Panda Elliot releases Alex Patri’s remix of the single “Guerrero”, along with a lyric music video. “Guerrero” has a good upbeat feeling to it and Elliot’s voice is nice a clear. Panda Elliot is from Argentina so I was unable to understand the lyrics, but as everyone knows from the podcasts this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the music. The lyric video was shot in reverse negetive, so that makes it a little more interesting to watch. Give it a listen through Vimeo, I think you will like it – Richard:
