Pearl Lion is the persona of the lead guitarist from the Saturday Night Live Band and he is sharing with our listeners his newest music video, for his single “NYC”. You know I love me some instrumental music and Pearl Lion gives it to us in spades with this rock instrumental piece. “NYC” starts out with a hard driving beat and doesn’t let up. If you need something to get you going for the day this single will do it for you. There are voices in the single, but they are used as instruments as well, with no lyrics to be sung. The music video takes on the hard driving force and gives the viewer a look at some of the dynamics of New York City. Falling Awake Films directs the film and Ashley Smith is used as the primary character of the film. This video has some steam coming off of it as well with a little “afternoon delight”. And with our sight being interested in comic books I have to mention that the way they dress Ashley for the video is really reminiscent of Harley Quinn’s look from the Suicide Squad film. Here’s Pearl Lion’s music video for “NYC”, from his EP Dark, for you to enjoy through his YouTube Vevo Channel – Richard:
Toei Animation has announced that the new feature Mazinger Z will be debuting in theaters in Japan on January 18, 2018. Junji Shimizu is the director and the film will feature the new design for the Hover Pilder. When it is all said and done this might get a North American release, but no international dates have been released yet. Thanks to AnimeNews Network and Toei’s YouTube channel for the following trailer:
The first thing that hits me in the trailer for the new horror movie Polariod is that the camera is found in an antique shop. When did polariod’s become antiques? Maybe I don’t want you to answer that. Anyway this is one in the tradition of an image showing up in a picture and then the horror begins. Thanks to MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel for the trailer:
Blond Ambition is sharing with our listeners again. This time they are letting us view their music video for their single “StupidBoy/Girl”. This single is a mixture of feelings. You get the upbeat catchy rhythm of the song, but the message that is being relayed has a serious tone about acceptability. The music video shows many beautiful people enjoying themselves with their life, but it is hard for so many people to get to that level. The single, as stated earlier, brings that home because of pressures in society it takes many quite a while to be happy with themselves and in this song the “person” that is “talking” realizes it was stupid to conform at the expense of your happiness. It will be a better world when we as a people are acceptable of everyone. “Stupid Boy/Girl” is from Blond Ambition’s Slow All Over LP which is available now, but first enjoy their music video through their YouTube channel – Richard:
The Force of Will trading card game is delivering more content this October. Two new themed starter decks will be arriving at stores entitled Arrogant Swallowtail and Wings of Anger. The decks will contain 50 cards, a play sheet, a rules sheet, and a game manual. Then the booster packs that will be released to support the decks will be called Advent of Demons, which will have an additional 200 cards. These decks are scheduled for an October 20 release, but if your gaming store supports Force of Will, there are going to be free demo decks at participating stores starting mid July through the end of the month. So all your fans of TCG’s be sure to ask you stores if they will be receiving the demo decks. Thanks to ICv2 for letting us know what’s coming soon to our gaming shops.
Mia LJ gives our listeners the chance to check out her music video for her single “This Livin”. Mia has a nice Alto range voice that comes through with just a bit of smokiness, really nice. “This Livin” is one of those single’s that many people can relate to. The chorus starts with the lyrics “Never want to get old”, which applies to the younger crowd, but us older listeners are saying the same thing we just don’t verbalize it as much. And of course everyone just wants to “have fun running around”. The single itself is the title track from her This Livin LP. The music video has high film quality and the director edited it together very nicely. The video is just dark enough to still be edgy, but still light enough for anyone to enjoy. Here’s Mia LJ’s music video for her single “This Livin” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
