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.
Hope everyone that got to go to SXSW had a great time. If you are like me you want to attend, but things happen in life. Anyway Scarlette has been busy and with all of her touring she has also released her second single, “Helena”, from her upcoming EPK Attack of the 6ft Woman. In “Helena” Scarlette slows in down, but still retains a catchy rhythm and edge. Check it out through SoundCloud, like her other singles I think you will enjoy it – Richard
To get primed for SXSW, Vuurwerk has released two remixes for fans to get stocked about.

Thanks to Vuurwerk and The MuseBox for letting us post these two singles through SoundCloud and if you are attending SXSW be sure to check Vuurwerk out – Richard:
Title track “New Destination” drew inspiration from Carole King’s Broadway musical, “Beautiful.” After Sage left the show with an ‘I Feel The Earth Move’ feeling, she was determined to write an upbeat groove-tune on the piano with a classic, pop hook.“One part Elton John, one part Kate Bush” (UNCUT), Sage has had an illustrious career as an independent artist, praised by the likes of The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and MOJO. Sage has shared the stage with Eric Burdon, Ani DiFranco, Marc Cohn, Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins and Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey). Her songs have appeared on MTV, HBO, the “Fame” soundtrack, and the current season of Lifetime’s #1 reality series, “Dance Moms.” Sage has made a name for herself as one of the most active touring artists in indie music with her dynamic piano playing, delicate guitar work and soulful vocals. Billboard has said “her keen ironic sense of humor and quirky sense of the profound is what makes her special as a songwriter“ and RollingStone.com called her a “genuine talent.”
For Immediate Release
(Albany, NY) — March 22, 2013 –Get ready music lovers! Albany ranks as the nation’s 9th largest breeding ground for new music and is the location for this year’s MOVE Festival for the second year running. For those that couldn’t afford the price of a ticket to Austin last month, MOVE Music Festival is the alternative. Move is an indie music festival that premiered last spring and is completely focused on spotlighting diverse and emerging talent, much akin to the early days of SXSW. It takes place on Saturday, April 27.
“The idea behind Move is to giving regional bands a chance to launch their careers in the independent music scene,” comments festival owner and founder Bernie Walters. The festival is the perfect platform for these bands to gain experience in performing live to a local audience as well as to industry insiders,” he continues.
