    Cole’s Indie Music Corner: Active Child

    Posted in: Cole's Indie Music Corner

    Cole’s Indie Music Corner: Active Child

    The first full-length record by Pat Grossi, aka Active Child, is a gorgeous collection of dreamy melodies and spacey production, melding his fragile voice, harp, beats and electronic soundscapes– think Owen Pallet meets The Divine Comedy meets Depeche Mode. It’s a marriage of sound that works brilliantly–the title track, You Are All I See, is a seductive earworm that will have you humming for days. High on atmosphere, the album delivers on the potential of his Curtis Lane EP from last year. Visit his site at www.activechildmusic.com.

    Cole & Vanessa destroy Comic-Con 2011!

    Posted in: Blog

    Your PMC hosts took on the 2011 San Diego Comic Con! What follows is Cole’s recap of the two days they spent there, with Vanessa’s comments inserted throughout! Enjoy!
    I was hesitant to return to the annual San Diego Comic Con this year, as my experience last year was tragic—hours and hours and hours and hours in line, and not a panel to show for it—in fact, I was about ten people away from admittance into Hall H when the infamous Resident Evil Pen Stabbing happened. The convention center was so jammed packed you could hardly walk anywhere. I was disheartened, but thought I’d give it one last try—and with my podcastin’ partner Vanessa Ragland with me, we descended upon the ‘Con Friday morning for the start of a truly terrific con! Here’s the breakdown on what we saw over the two days we attended, who was involved, and what we thought, as well as some embedded trailers!
    This is Vanessa writing. When I write, it will look like this, which I call “red.”  Let me first say- I was DREADING Comic-Con.  Dreading.  I have heard the stabbing story enough times to really freak me out, also I don’t do well in crowds (anxiety central) and I am afraid of large groups of people in costumes.
