Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits. In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60. The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said. Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2. To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets. If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album. It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.

This weeks spotlight is on YouTuber devotfeige. This individual takes the song “Moves Like Jagger” performed by Maroon 5, featuring Christina Aguilera and edits in scenes from the new Sherlock series on BBC. “Moves Like Jagger” has been an infectious song since it first came out, but marrying it to Sherlock you would not think it would work. For some reason it does. Each time I watch this AMV I enjoy it. It helps that I like the song and the new Sherlock. The editing together of the scenes is done well and images are used that pretty well match the song lyrics. Fun all the way around, great job devotfeige. You can check out the AMV on YouTube under “Sherlock: Moves Like Jagger” and it is also below:
