Transmission Party has a “Beautiful Breakdown”

Transmission Party want the listeners of ComicPop Library to check out the music video to their single “Beautiful Breakdown”. Right from the start this took me back to a rock ballad from the 1970’s. It has an endearing quality to the single as well as a eerie quality to it. When you listen to the single it just draws you in so good job in achieving that. The music video style they selected fits the song perfectly. It is shot using old footage and new black and white footage is inter-sparsed throughout. Great job all the way around and here it is Transmission Party’s music video to “Beautiful Breakdown” from their YouTube channel – Richard:

Jutes’ Wants You to know They are “Coming Soon”

Coming to us out of Toronto is the Jutes. They are sharing with the ComicPop listeners their music video to their single “Coming Soon”, featuring Rubber Buzzard. This single to me is a modern pop/country single. It has a nice bass beat and is very catchy with its rhythm and lyrics. Then you got this down and Jutes throws in some rap with the last verse, but it fits. So check out Jutes’ music video “Coming Soon” from their YouTube channel and then keep you eyes on your favorite digital vendor for their upcoming EP Much Love, in early 2016 – Richard:

It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Library Podcasts: A Review On comicpoplibrary.com

Hello everyone! Remembrance Day, along with the promise of a few snowflakes, is approaching us Canadians. November is definitely a good time to check out plenty of books and other materials about World War I and World War II.

I remember back in high school, our classes had to present a play based on the famous war poem “In Flanders Fields”. It was actually quite fun to do at the time, and we tried our best to impact the audience, given the solemn nature of the topic. Anyway, I hope you Canadians take the time to wear your poppies (even if you can’t get them to stay on your coat, as is always the case) and remember the sacrifices of our soldiers made.

Regarding today’s topic, I was browsing along the corners of the Internet trying to find podcasts centered around libraries.

Although a lot of podcasts for libraries happen to revolve around either library instruction or library policies (which is always great information to take in for library staff), I was specifically looking for ones that provided a focus on reviewing materials.

Because gosh darn it, I sometimes like my podcasts to not contain dry topics.

To my delight, I found the perfect marriage between the library world and the review world. Who exactly is this podcast superhero, you may ask?

comicpoplibrary.com, of course!

comicpoplibrary.com specializes in critiquing comic books, graphic novels, anime, manga, television shows, and even music. It all gloriously culminates into one big “geek” utopia.

As I listened to their podcasts, it all melted my little nerdy heart. Kapow and boom, indeed.

Reading into their purpose, comicpoplibrary.com’s content is reviewed by librarians and teenagers, with their podcast lengths usually hitting the 30 minute mark. I think what I like most about their podcasts is the amount of enthusiasm the hosts bring. You can tell they really like what they do and they have a good flow to their segments.

With their podcasts, I feel the comicpoplibrary.com team has done a great job in gaining the attention of patrons looking to find the next great comic book or television show.

By keeping the content concise and entertaining, patrons will have a harder time feeling alienated on the subject matter.

I also think that comicpoplibrary.com’s podcasts are excellent resources for school or public libraries looking to purchase materials, as the team goes into great detail about each item they review.

For example, in Ep 4 ComicPop Heroes Take on “Wraith”, the hosts analyze the artwork contained within the item. Such attention to detail can be quite helpful to those building library collections.

In short, I think podcast-lovers and library staff should give these podcasts a shot. In any case, they provide a good starting point for libraries looking to expand their comic book and graphic novel collections.

You can find all their episodes on their website, or you can tune in to some episodes on Itunes like I did:

It just goes to show that heroes and heroines are all around us, from soldiers to reviewers. Now it’s time for me to fly away at supersonic speeds!
