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.
We spotlighted MIRK’s single “Let it Go” on an earlier post, now we get to watch the music video for it. The video is a story driven video which I tend to like more than just the band singing in a video. Thanks to The MuseBox and MIRK for providing the video through MIRK’s YouTube channel – Richard:
This single, “25”, has just the right amount of light heartedness and seriousness that it is a winner in my books. Elaine Romanelli gives us a fun song and music video (below) that gives us a journey through our lives, from where we are at to where we will be in the future. I love the 29th grade (watch the music video and you’ll understand). I also love that it is a piano focused single. We don’t get those much anymore. It goes to show you how much a piano can do just on it’s own. Great song!, so be sure to watch “25”(… you will like it!) from her YouTube channel – Richard:
Square Enix is streaming the opening for the Nintendo 3DS game, Bravely Second: End Layer. The opening has Ryo of supercell singing chelly’s theme song “Great Distance.” Here it is from Square Enix’ YouTube channel:
Fabryka is an Italian Pop band and the are making their inroads into the U.S. market with their single “The Unheard”. As everyone knows I like songs that have a heavy beat that makes, at the very least, my head bob when I listen to a song. Well, Fabryka delivers for me. Check out their music video for “The Unheard” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Coffeehouse has released the music video to their single “Give or Take”. The song comes from their debut album Square One. When you listen to it, “Give or Take” is a nice ballad song that’s not to slow or to fast, it hits just right. With the lyrics it is a little bit of a submission song to your loved one. However, the band or director of the music video went a different route. They take the viewer on a paranormal journey. Fans of this genre will definitely enjoy the video, but with the lyrics the song can take on a different feel that the main characters are submitting to a deity. Coffeehouse is putting themselves on the radar, so far what I have heard from them I have enjoyed. Thank you to the band for sharing their music video via their YouTube channel – Richard:
Kosha Dillz and the MuseBox are sharing his music video for the single “Been Down”, through Dillz’ YouTube channel. With “Been Down” Dillz has the rhythm, beat, and sound down for his chosen genre. The music video has a bright quality to it, which you don’t usually associate with the Rap genre, but it works. Music is about the artists feelings and experiences and sharing them in the style that they enjoy and this is Dillz’ style. This particular single has a more upbeat rap song, so the beat is really catchy. Most will enjoy the up tempo of the single so check out “Been Down” below – Richard:
All you children of the ’80’s, The Singularity is the band for you. Magnum PR gives us our first posting from their company and it’s a winner for me. Magnum PR and Katie Trimble are sharing The Singularity’s music video “Wetter” through the “A Jude” YouTube channel. The “Wetter” single is a flashback to the 1980’s with an electronic sound. If the rest of their EP, Weta, is anything like this single you will want to check out their music. The music video is a mixture of animation and anime/live action overlays. Again for me I love it because I enjoy animation. The video also has a little bit of a call back to the Rick Astley music video for ‘Never Gonna Give You Up”, dancing with a wall as the background. Check it out and have some fun my ’80’s fans – Richard:
Very cool short film. If you are a fan of 1980’s style animation you will enjoy it even more. Great job by: Paul Johnson, artist/animator; Zakir Rahman, music; and Joseph Leyva, sound effects. Enjoy
What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that’s all but vanished from Japan nowadays?
Well, I tried my best. Apologies in advance for not living up to Venus Wars standards.
Drawn and animated by yours truly over 4 years’ worth of weekends, with music by the living guitar solo Zak Rahman and sound design by up and coming audio technician Joseph Leyva. Fans of Lucasarts’ seminal 1994 TIE Fighter game may notice a few familiar sights and sounds. That “incoming missile” noise gives me horrible flashbacks to this day…Official poster art: http://mightyotaking.deviantart.com/a…

Story/character info pdf file: http://www.mediafire.com/view/cpnc1oj…Special thanks to the good folk at Lucasfilm for encouraging people to get creative and make these kind of projects. It’s thanks to their extremely fan-friendly nature that we can enjoy IMPS: The Relentless, TROOPS, etc.
Don’t support me on Patreon, because I don’t have one! And don’t donate to my Kickstarter, because I don’t have one of those either. Instead, if you enjoyed this, give someone at your workplace, uni, school or whatever a random bar of chocolate or can or Coke or something. Seriously, it’ll probably make their day.
That would totally make my day.
“This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” is the latest release from Janine and the Mixtape. Janine’s voice just captures me from the start. The transition from the verse to the chorus hit just right to give “This Moment” an extra push with the down beat. The music video is also enjoyable to watch…great job all around. Check out “This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” on their YouTube channel – Richard:
This series looks to be a good read. The final installment of Patrick Carman’s Pulse Series, Quake, came out last month. We have the trailer for the first book here thanks to HarperTeen’s YouTube channel. If you didn’t catch this one when it came out you might want to go back and check it out. I’ve placed it on my ever growing reading list.
