Talking About Music Now

I had an idea to make a quick video about the music that we hear while watching movies. Sometimes, I feel like the music fits so extremely well, like Bill Conti's score in the Karate Kid films (especially Karate Kid III), Basil Poledouris' music in the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian, or any John Williams music to…

A Giraffe, A Canadian, And Shakira All Walk In To A Bar…

Three things: 1. Am I the only person on this planet who would take a picture of a giraffe sitting outside of a children’s orthodontist office? 2. Do you love Canadians? So do I. And like me, you can show your love for a Canadian by following the blog of this up-and-coming writer who happens…

Ruelle

I can’t contain this anymore, I just can’t. I have to say how totally in love I am with the music of an artist currently known as Ruelle. I say “currently known” because, it seems, she once released songs under the name Maggie Eckford. How in love with her music am I? Let’s just say…

Epic Music Is Epic

Hey, if you need a musical pick-me-up or just want to hear some awesome orchestra tunes, check out the Epic Music VN channel over at YouTube. My advice is to subscribe and have their uploads sent directly to your email inbox. They usually send out one per day and it’s always an excellent track. If…

Aurora

Just as with Warpaint, Conan O’Brien has introduced me to Aurora, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Seriously, I’m not even going to say much more here. Just click that play button below, and then stop by her YouTube page and give the rest of her videos a look-see (there aren't very many). She is…

Halestorm

Have you ever stumbled across a music artist that made you ask the question, “Why haven’t I heard of them before?” For an unspecified amount of time, whenever I jumped over to YouTube, one of the recommended channels that would appear for me was a channel for a band called Halestorm. And for an unspecified…

Amy Stroup “Dark Runs Out”

The finale of a TV show I was watching came and went with no fanfare. I’m not surprised. Lost Girl was a really cool show when it started, but as it went through its 5-season run, the writing began dropping off. Not so much that the completionist in me didn’t want to finish it, but…

An AVbyte Of The Musical

Hey… you. Yeah… you. Do you like short, hilarious musicals? Do you like Disney characters? Have you seen short, hilarious musicals featuring Disney characters from a YouTube channel called AVbyte? If not, then start clicking those ‘play’ buttons below. And then visit their channel, where you can see short, hilarious musicals on other fun stuff…

The Last Dragon… And Something Else…

If you’ve never seen a movie called Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, then please stop reading this now and go watch it. Did you see it? Great! It’s awesome, right, especially for fans of martial arts films? The movie has a hero you’ll want to cheer for, important life lessons, some nice martial arts action,…

The Rainbow Connection

Okay, all of the recent displays of rainbows have had me singing “The Rainbow Connection” for the past couple of days. I don’t know the lyrics, so I’ve mostly been, “Hmmm hmmm hmmming,” the words. But after looking it up on YouTube, I’ve found a Sarah McLachlan cover of the Kermit the Frog classic that…
