Just look at that face.  Isn't that a face you want to put on the moon?Just look at that face. Isn't that a face you want to put on the moon?

One of the things I love most about animation is that it takes you places that you hadn't expected.  Sadly, though, most of the time the folks providing the trip are either Disney, Warner Media or an anime company.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind; but sometimes you want to find someting that will take you places with new voices and new methods.

I think that Taiko Studios, and their short, One Small Step, does that well.  It's a short tour de cute, and just as lively as anything coming out of Pixar as of recent.

They claimed to have "ruined it" for America.  It might actually be an improvement.  XD

What does this have to do with an 80s band?  Read on....What does this have to do with an 80s band? Read on....

Originally, I had been meaning to write a review of Children of the Whale for today, but I thought that would be best suited for Saturday (especially since I want to resurrect Sci-Fi Saturdays). Instead, I think I’m going to wax a tad nostalgic and talk about something both near and dear to my heart and well as something that drives me creatively.

Music.

For a friend of mine who is a comedian on Youtube, he uses a graphic based on Led Zeppelin imagery to convey his works.  Another fellow I know uses old 70s country rock to help inform his reviews of guns and whatnot.  A third still takes inspiration from rap in order to fuel her articles on the video game scene.  Music inspires us, even for those who aren’t musically inclined (while I played the guitar and flute as a youth, it’s been ages and even though I’ve made a couple of songs since, I really don’t count myself as musically-inclined, per se.)

But to be more specific today, I think I’d like to talk about how one artist’s musical works can wholesale influence another work.  Namely, that of Scritti Politti’s seminal work from my youth, Cupid & Psyche 85.
