[Music Selection] October 2016

The first signs of winter begin in November, when the air turns crisp and the night becomes ever darker. I swear, every year on November first, the winds seem to shift and the smell of cold becomes so much stronger, and I can't help but think 'yes, this is winter!'.

But before I can truly celebrate winter and the on-coming jingle songs, we need to talk about the tunes that kept me going in October '16! Did you find anything of note during the Halloween season, and if so, what were they? Did any new Idols attract you with their lullabies, and have you become besotted with a song you never knew existed until now? Let's take a look, and see what is in sotre in my Halloween Goody Bag of songs!

As always, all choices are mine, meaning that if there is a song you enjoyed not present, I either did not enjoy it as much as you, or I did not listen to it. Is the way of life, peoples! We can't all enjoy what others do, aye?

[PV Selection] September 2016

To quote the White Rabbit from Alices Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll; "I'm Late! I'm Late!", though I myself would add a few more expletives in there, for colour, and because that's just me. Also, because, holy shit, this is late by a month. Whoops!

The original plan for this PV Selection was to completely boycott it, however, I have a sense of wanting to finish this off, at least for the year 2016, before I drop it completely. Generally, I'm useless at keeping things going (which is why it's so surprising this blog still stands), however, as I already had the videos here, my duty in delivering felt a bit overwhelming, and so, here we go; a PV Selection for September, which is better late than never, I suppose.

As per the usual, these PV's are completely my choice. If something you enjoyed is not here, it's either because I did not see it, I did not like it as much, or because I cannot access it due to country restrictions. It is how it is, and at the end of the day, this is my blog. My domain, my rules; I will not, can not, and care not to please others. It's the way of life, people!

Shall we roll on to the PV's, now? I kind of kept you waiting long enough.

Before I quickly delve into the list of Music Videos from September that I enjoyed, I want to let you all know that it was not lack of content or love of videos that stopped me from doing this post; far from it, because September contained two amazing videos that I really like, and a bunch of other great mentions. No. It was my own laziness and lack of drive that stopped me from posting this. Procrastination and laziness, be damned!

Better to tell the truth than give you some BS about me being busy, aye?

Anyway, September's post is here, and October's should be around after the Music Selection for the month. I will keep this up until around January 2017, and if I feel such a desire to keep it going as its own stand-alone post, I will... for now, however, let's see how we go.

Are you ready to dive into a new host of videos? Are there any here you enjoyed, too, or some new faces and videos you did not anticipate, but liked none-the-less after viewing this list? Are any missing, or any you downright hate? Let me know, and of course, enjoy! Let the List Begin!

The Tale of the Alluring Rain Princess - Color Pointe 'Rainy Princess' Music Video Review

On my many ventures in PV Hunting, I recently came across one of Color Pointe's video releases from September of this very year. Though I was aware of the groups existence since their debut, I admit that I have not paid close attention to them. Well, I'm a fool for doing so, because hot damn, Color Pointe are brilliant! O-O

So, long after viewing the video, I made the decision that, eventually, I would talk about it here, because I really feel like what Color Pointe have created is far too good to leave alone. Of course, I've shared it on one of my social media platforms, but talking about it here in a little more depth is, in my opinion, a lot more delightful... plus, I can relish in screen shots and spam you all with the pictures! Muahahaha!!!

So yes, this is what we're going to talk about today. Are you ready to be lured into this dank yet beautiful world?

Being a group made up of professional ballerinas, one would think that Color Pointe are a dainty, cute group without much substance, and that their videos and music would not pack much of a punch. I myself have never done ballet, nor have I cared to watch it, really. (more so due to lack of knowledge in where a ballet might be held, than anything) So when I first heard of Color Pointe, I did think they would be these cute little girls spinning on their tippy toes, and nothing more.

Well, more fool me, because I was fuckin' wrong. I am still in the learning process of never judging a book by its cover, it seems.

Anyway, this is a great Music Video; I fell in love with both the look and sound after watching it for the first time, and now I am completely hooked. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by where I don't give this song or video some form of attention and love, and so, it feels right to talk about it. Plus, with it's dark but alluring vibe, it seems like a great video to talk about just before Halloween rolls around! Though really, this is more of a treat than it is a horrible trick.

So, grab your pointe shoes and get your tutu's ready, because we are heading into this ballerina's tale of allure and mist, to experience the tale of the Rainy Princess in all its glory. Are you prepared to become entranced?
