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.
“Too Late”, from What Model Citizens, has a strong 1980’s synth feel. Kind of in the vain of Devo and other groups like that. The Music Video definitely leans toward the Steampunk genre and the song lends itself well to that genre as well. So if you are into Steampunk or the synth music check out the music video below from Vimeo – Richard:

If you are into toy collecting and making dioramas, you will more than likely enjoy Morgan Shaughnessy’s music video for her single “February Moon”. It is done in stop motion, which I enjoyed. Check it out from her YouTube channel below – Richard
Karla MCDonald sends us a Christmas gift with the Angry Birds music video, coming to us from the folks at The MuseBox and Rovio Entertainment. We have had a great year with The MuseBox and can’t wait for next year. Enjoy “Santamental Me” performed by Max C.:
How cool is this Toyota has used two pieces of soundtracks that anime fans will probably recognize in their Aqua commercials. Below you can watch the two spots from “maidigitv” YouTube channel. The first is for the Aqua which is set to Dragon Quest III‘s “Adventure” and the second is for the Aqua X-Urban which is set to Monster Hunters “Proof of a Hero”.
Life Leone gives us the music video to their single “I Can’t Say No”. For some reason from what I have heard of their music just hits me right. They have an almost ’80’s/’90’s Boss sound, but with an edge. The video serves the song well, but I tend to like the story videos than band videos. That’s just me…take a look at it through the band’s YouTube channel and enjoy – Richard
If you remember a while back we had a post for the Star Wars: Force for Change through the Omaze site. I hope everyone that could helped out like I did, even if it was at the lower end of donations. Anyway Omaze and the Star Wars team have done a thank you video for the project and I thought it appropriate to share it with you:
Tom out in California loves Christmas and Star Wars. What was the next natural progression? Combine the two! This year he has put up a video of his synchronized Christmas light display with the Star Wars theme. Have fun watching it through his YouTube channel “Tom BetGeorge”:
The dou Clemency is starting a venture that will span six songs and their related music videos entitled You’ve Got the Fire. The trailer for the experiment is below from their YouTube channel, but they have not yet released the first single/music video. Their website is http://www.clemencyonline.com/ so keep an eye on it and hopefully Margo will keep us informed about each release. It looks interesting.
Riot Police is for individuals that like high pitched singers. When the lead started singing “She Knows” in his high register I felt a Maroon 5 influence. Even with the higher notes the vocalist is able to keep the lyrics clear and they keep the instrumentalist at a lower volume so not to interfere with the lead singer. Check out their video for “She Knows” from the bands YouTube Channel – Richard
Lily Elise has generated an EP entitled Taken. We have the music video to her first single from Taken, “Generator”, from her YouTube channel.
She starts out with really a nice smooth ballad that she carries well with her Alto sound. Her voice is really clear in the recording and strong enough to stand out over the instruments. For a first single she has a nice sound and I am interested in what else she has for us on her EP – Richard:
