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.
It time for some fun and it is dialed up with this AMV from Shin AMV’s YouTube channel. “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars, is used with a great editing job of the anime Space Dandy. So lets have some fun with “Just Funkin’ Dandy – Space Dandy AMV – Best in Show Sakuracon” video:
Solarrio is sharing with us his music video for the single “Safety of a Mob”. This single has his signature electro/pop style, but he brings it down a little bit and has this single be a little introspective. We don’t get political here and even though the song title can be interpreted as political Solarrio handles it in such a way that the topic is neutral. “Safety of a Mob” could apply to any situation and any view. So he is to be commended for walking that line. The music video is put together with him in a forest interspersed with flashes, of what I can a film negative look, of a person that one would typically think of being in a mob. Here’s Solarrio’s “Safety of a Mob” through his YouTube channel and if you like what you hear be sure to support him – Richard:
Blue Cactus is sharing with us their debut music video for their single “I Never Knew Heartache”. This one is for all the waltz lovers out there. Blue Cactus dives deep into the roots of country/western music for this nostalgic feel for “I Never Knew Heartache”. Even the music video takes you back to the earlier ’70’s, before the transition to the more modern country sound that was developing. Blue Cactus is aiming for a late February, early March release of their self-titled album so if you enjoy the country/western vibe this might be one for you. Here’s the music video for “I Never Knew Heartache” from Blue Catcus’ YouTube channel – Richard:
Pokemon Go has introduced more Pokemon to their App. Now you get to catch Pokemon from the Johto region. Have fun catching them all. Here’s the video from IGN’s YouTube channel:

Veio gives our listeners a rock/metal single to check out with “Structures”. Veio has the metal sound down and I really enjoyed listening to this single. The lyrics where nice and clear and when the chorus hit it wasn’t to over the top, it was right were it needed to be. The music video is put together nicely, but I wish they would have done more of a story video, but that’s just my taste for music videos. Here’s Veio’s music video for “Structures” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
The Gail Borden Public Library just recently had Star Wars: The Nostalgia Awakens Vintage Toy Exhibit at their library. This traveling exhibit is owned and curated by Jarrod Roll, the director of the Monroe County Local History Room & Museum located in Sparta, Wisconsin. The Gail Borden Public Library made a six minute YouTube video with Jarrod and it shows some of the pieces that are in the exhibit. We recently had a two part visit with Jarrod that I am currently editing and hope to have up within the next few weeks. Until then here is the Gail Borden Public Library’s video that you can check out, from their YouTube channel, as a primer – Richard:
Uruguay is sharing with our listeners their debut music video for “Sabrina Segment”. This single has a very soulful feel to it and with the drumbeat, along with the images of the music video, feels like a heart beat. There is no harshness to the single, but you feel a desperation within “Sabrina Segment”. The single and video deals with the harshness of life and how it can be very down trodden, but you can still find someone to help make it go a little easier. When you get to the end of the video you will understand what I mean, because I want to leave that for you to interpret on your own, because you could get a different message from it, which is all good. Here’s Uruguay’s music video for “Sabrina Segment” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
Sivik shared with us last November his single “All Day All Night”. He has now had a music video produced for this single. As you remember he had a flare for the electro/pop that would fit right in at the night clubs. With the music video he utilizes that aspect of his music. During the video you have Sivik spotlighted and cut in with that is a dancer that gives us some moves to have fun with. Here’s Sivik with his music video for the single “All Day All Night” through his YouTube channel – Richard
