I’ve been putting up some of my older songs on some of the music sites. These tracks I title with “SB Retro” — these are really old songs that I re-recorded (mainly out of boredom) to share with the rest of y’all. People that have been around for a while may have heard some of these, especially if you’ve been with me since Myspace 🙂 Where possible, I tried to find the original beats that I used, but for some, I simply can’t find the correct instrumentals. I’ve only done a handful so far, but as I continue to clean […]
Adventure Time Season Two
After watching the first season of this whimsical animated cartoon, I immediately went on to watch the second season. I was curious if the creators would up the ante in the show and expand on the story lines in a more epic way. Amazingly…they do. Adventure Time Season Two, and Beyond – Even More Action and Adventure While the show still manages to give you little 10 or so minute adventures, the first season ended with an actual storyline that lasted two episodes…and it was awesome! One thing I noted in my first review is the sheer amount of cohesion. […]
Breakneck Speed, the Song at the End of Repeaters
Ever since I wrote my post about the movie Repeaters some time ago, there has been a LOT of traffic to my site from people looking for the song at the end of the movie. Apparently, it was also featured on the show Shameless, which has led a lot of people to look for it as well. The song at the end of Repeaters is called Breakneck Speed by the group Tokyo Police Club. TPC is a Canadian indie rock band and it looks like, little by little, the group has been making some noise. Vowel change I remember when […]
Adventure Time Season One
Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is an animated series that airs on Cartoon Network. It’s a fun fantasy series with excellent and well known voice actors. But it might not be for everybody. A Look at Adventure Time – Season One I don’t know what to say about Adventure Time. It’s such a kitschy piece of animation. I avoided watching it for a long time because previews of it just did not look appealing to me. However, its longevity and Cartoon Network constantly promoting it lead me to finally look into it. I was a little surprised that it […]
Everything Influences Everything
Everything influences everything. The whole of humanity is just an echo of the past. If not that, then not this. We are all alive because others lived first. We hate because others hated. We love because others loved and gave it a name. We speak because others spoke. We are, because others were. Your genes look good on you despite the fact that thousands and thousands of people wore them before you. There is nothing new under the sun. We build on what came before. We assume we came up with something new, never knowing the seed of that idea […]
Witchblade Anime Series
A review of Witchblade, the Anime series. A surprisingly moving emotional drama disguised as an over-the-top action series. Note: This is a review of the Witchblade anime series. For my review of the Witchblade television series, go here The Witchblade anime is a 24-episode series based on the Witchblade comic book by Top Cow. Now before getting into it, there are a few things I want to address for fans of the comic and live action television series. First off, this anime is not really an adaptation of the comic or TV show; it is a new story that only […]
#TMMPoetry by Silencio Barnes
Some may have been wondering why I’ve been putting out a bunch of short poems with the hashtag #TMMPoetry – well, nobody asked me, but I figured I’d let ya know anyway 🙂 It comes from an NPR promotion from their Tell Me More program. Here at TELL ME MORE, we will once again commemorate National Poetry Month with “Muses and Metaphor,” a series combining two of our passions, poetry and social media, and we need your help. Go to Twitter and tweet us your original poetry using fewer than 140 characters and the hash tag #tmmpoetry. And just as […]
