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.
Melissa of City Bird Publicity and Tom Levin are sharing with us his latest single we spot lighted earlier this month, but this time it is Tom’s music video for “Thunder On”. I haven’t changed my mind about this single, still like it and I believe most people that enjoy folk music styling will. The music video is just as engaging. Some very cool imagery going on that makes it a fun watch and listen. Check it out through Tom Levin’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Dioni hits all the right notes with her single “That Summer”. Very smooth sound and very reminiscent of a song from the ’60’s. Love it for a change of pace. Dioni and the MuseBox is sharing her music video for “That Summer” through the Chic Vinyl Records YouTube channel. Enjoy – Richard:
“Wish” is Ultra Violent Rays latest single, that they are sharing with us. At first I wasn’t sure about this single, but as I listened to it the song grew on me. So don’t judge “Wish” to quickly, let it play out and I think you will find yourself enjoying it. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:

If you liked the pop styling of the Cars and David Bowie, Cultfever is very reminiscent of this style of Electronic Pop. Check out their latest single “Youth” through SoundCloud that BlackPandaPR and Cultfever is sharing with us – Richard:
Doug Locke is here and ready to take everyone down his musical journey. I have listened to a couple of Doug’s singles know and he has a nice strong clear voice that is easy to listen to. The two songs I have listened to are “This Could Be Us” and “KING” and the rhythm in each has an awesome beat. It doesn’t matter who you are if you have experienced love (This Could Be Us) or been in the position that you were bullied in any form or fashion (KING) these two singles will speak to you. “KING” is the video that is being spotlighted here, through Locke’s YouTube channel, but you can go there to watch the music video for “This Could Be Us” single as well, but first “KING” – Richard:
IRONTOM hits the ground running with their single “The Minista”. I have to admit I’m not a big fan of the intro, but be patient. Once the intro is done the group hits you with their solid rock beat. “Minista” is a very kinetic song that I really enjoyed, it makes you want to just move your body with the beat, which I love in a song. The music video has some cool and interesting imagery and at the end….wow Charlie must like them. Watch the video that the band has provided through their YouTube channel and you will see what Charlie I mean. Plus I think you’ll just like “Minista: as well – Richard:
Shaheen gives us that back street beat with his sound in his latest single “Flashbulbs”. This one has a Stray Cats feel to me….I love the beat of that style of music. It just gets me going. Listen to “Flashbulbs” for yourself through SoundCloud to see what you think about it – Richard:
Oulipo’s, “Blue Flames” has a great beat that visually stimulates the listener. For me what I immediately went to in my head was a series or film in the vain of a Miami Vice. “Blue Flames” has definitely sparked my interest in Oulipo and will see what else they will be releasing. Take a listen to “Blue Flames” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Here is Jennie Vee’s single from her upcoming EP Spying, “Lips Like Sugar”. I haven’t listened to the complete EP yet, but with this single Jennie blends her voice in with the instruments. I’m not sure if this is going to be ongoing or if the blending is just for this single. With this style it really had a feel like something the Bangles would have put out back in the day. Yes I made a Bangles reference, nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed the Bangles and I enjoyed Jennie’s “Lips Like Sugar”. There was also a nice mid-section where the guitar got a nice solo in which doesn’t always happen these days. Check out Jennie Vee’s music video for “Lips Like Sugar” from her YouTube channel – Richard:
