Lauren Waller’s Single “Can’t See”

Lauren Waller is sharing her easy listening single “Can’t See”.  The rhythm of the single gets you into a comfortable place.  With Lauren’s voice coming through strong and clear the listener can pick up the lyrics and begin singing along with her.

Even with the single being about a failed relationship it has a catchy beat that uplifts the single.  Here’s Lauren Waller’s “Can’t See” through SoundCloud – Richard:

The Nun Trailer

The Conjuring is an interesting franchise.  It started with The Conjuring, then The Conjuring 2.  Next we diverge from the title and get Annabelle and now we get the next film entitled The Nun.  Logan and I have enjoyed each film and we will definitely check out The Nun.  Here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:

Alexa Melo’s Music Video for Her Cover of “Crazy”

Alexa Melo is sharing with our listeners her music video for her cover of Gnarls Barkley’s single “Crazy”.  I love the lower register of Alexa’s voice.  She doesn’t try to strain into a higher ranger.  With this lower range and slowing the rhythm down the single has a resonance that takes on a serious almost ominous sound.

The music video is shot around a upscale house with very nice landscaping.  In this setting it gives the viewer the concept that this is a relationship that is collapsing.  Before she releases her new EP MUTE Alexa Melo wants everyone to check out her music video for “Crazy” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar

I know Christmas is a ways away, but I just wanted to get in a cheery mood (Ho, ho, ho).  Konami is doing an advent calendar, which has totally escaped my attention in the past.  This gives Logan something new to look for as well.

The advent calendar is set to be release on October 26 and will feature, but of course, holiday themed Yu-Gi-Oh cards that you can add to your collection and/or decks.  The 24 card set will include 14 Super Rare cards and 10 Ultra Rare cards.  So get ready to enjoy the holidays with this set this year!
