I Am The Blues is a documentary that lovers of music and history will want to check out. This documentary, from director Daniel Cross, takes you to the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana Bayou to travel the roads that gave birth to the Blues. The importance of this documentary shouldn’t be ignored because without this extremely personal genre of music we would not have the majority of the music we listen to today. I Am The Blues will be receiving a limited release so check your local theaters to see if it will be in your area. Thanks to Film Movements YouTube channel for providing the trailer:

Pearl Lion’s Hot Music Video for “NYC”
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:

Polariod 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.
