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.
If you want to make a small statement about your Evangelion fandom and have the extra money lying around this could be for you. The Eva Store is selling gloves, knit caps, and hoodies (pictured above), for the Winter season, that are Eva Unit themed. The gloves and caps are 6,090 yen ($61) a piece and the hoodies are 5,040 yen ($51).
All Doctor Who fans will want to keep an eye on their local, November 23rd TV listings. The BBC has announced that it will simulcast the 50th Anniverary Special of Doctor Who, entitled The Day of the Doctor regardless of time zones globally. Many will want to set their DVR’s for this event.
Sega has released information that next Autumn Cartoon Network will debut Sonic Boom. Sonic the Hedgehog has had an animated series before, but this time it will be a CG animated series. So all you Sonic fans, I know it’s early, but mark your 2014 calendars.
If you don’t like lugging around a bunch of manga this will probably make you happy and if you don’t own a Kindle it will make you want to purchase one. Why would you want a Kindle? Viz has just put it’s entire manga catalog onto Amazon’s Kindle Store. So know when you purchase a volume you have the choice of getting a physical or digital format. Be aware that Viz has also raised their pricing across the board to $6.99 per volume know.
THE HIGH WIRE
“UNDER A SPELL”
“Under A Spell” is a pure pop song. It goes straight into the bloodstream and stays there. A heady mix of 60s folk rock, 90s soul and early noughties pop, where soaring synths, widescreen acoustic guitars and attacking electro rhythms help drive the song towards it’s euphoric conclusion.
With guest vocals from London soul & gospel legend Nicky Brown (Primal Scream, Madonna) and seasoned soul singer Ladonna Harley-Peters (Florence & the Machine, Groove Armada), sitting perfectly alongside those of band members Alexia Hagen & Tim Crompton, it’s no surprise Alice Levine and Phil Taggart jumped at the chance to give the eclectic track a first spin on Radio 1.
Here is one that science fiction fans will gravitate to. This weekend Gravity opens which looks to be a character study of these two astronauts with minimal other characters. Thanks to Warner Bros YouTube trailer for the following trailer:
More collectibles for all you HeroClix collectors and gamers. WizKids will release on January 29, 2014 the new DC HeroClix: Superman and the Legion of Superheroes figures. The sub-themes will be: “Legion Espionage Squad”; “Legion Lost”; “Legion of Doom”; and “New Gods”. If you are a HeroClix fan I’m sure you will be putting your money back to the new sets.
This anime has become one of the more popular anime at the moment so you will probably will like to add it to your collection. It will be available October 1st. Thanks to the Viz Media channel on YouTube for the following trailer:

THE MUSEBOX PRESENTS
FREE MUSIC MONDAYS
AT SILVERLAKE LOUNGEThe MuseBox’s Free Music Mondays at Silverlake Lounge have been a blast thus far. Please join us for the last one of the month on September 30th, featuring Puro Instinct, Night Club, and Golden Gloves.
Puro Instinct creates dreamy, ethereal melodies not dissimilar to heavies of the past few decades (Cocteau Twins, Lush), but with the doomed worldview of today’s California, fallin’ into the sea, creeping ever so slightly in the background. They received Pitchfork’s vaunted Rising tag, and they’ve collaborated with local heroes like Ariel Pink, amongst others.
Night Club is an electronic pop duo from Los Angeles, CA that features Emily Kavanaugh (vocalist) and Mark Brooks (producer). Although Brooks comes with a lengthy pedigree in performing/DJ-ing (Warlock Pinchers, Foreskin 500, Le Pimp and MegaJive), this marks Kavanaugh’s first entrance into performing, following in the steps of her father, Kevin Kavanaugh (keyboardist of the legendary New Jersey band Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes).
Golden Gloves is an LA-based musical project featuring Chris Norton and whoever else happens to be in the room at any given time. His live show features 808s and loud guitars.
Don’t miss it: come out to Silverlake Lounge on September 23, starting at 8pm. Oh, and did we mention it’s free? Because it’s totally, 100% FREE.
Throughout the night, we’ll be spreading the word about No Kill LA – every day pets need to find a permanent home, and every day No Kill LA works to make that happen.
Presented by the MuseBox: Powering the Music Revolution
