"I could have chosen the first record Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! or, to a lesser extent, Freedom Of Choice, but I like the rawness of Duty Now For The Future. I think the Eno production on the first one was great but this is just a little bit different. To me, they were very cynical but also really funny. They obviously created this whole myth for themselves. Devo had this whole package before bands really came up with that. They had this whole mythology built around them. Other people had that - I guess Magma had this whole mythology built around them so they're maybe not the first - but at the time it felt really futuristic and it felt like a whole new thing was happening."

Seemed a little familiar in more ways than one
The First Karate kid
Loosely Based on Chinese mythology, kung fu legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li Co star in this fun adventure loosely based on Chinese mythology.
Full of stunning visual effects and kung fu moves as only they can do, this punch (and kick) adventure places the two in anchient China, when an everyday teen hooked on Goofy but classic kung fu movies is mysteriously thrown back in time where here meets the drunken master (Chan) and a mysterious Monk (Li).
Together the two must train the boy to fight as the chosen protector of the staff of the Monkey King in a journey to return it to its master.

Then they can kill each other (movie joke).

The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!

Reasons I love this series...

1.) Vampires
2.) A "naked" cat/demon
3.) It makes me laugh!

Jaye Wells has created an amazing world that is a combination of fantasy, biblical mythology, and humor!

She has made up words (trampire being my fav.)...

And she has started us on an amazing adventure that I cannot wait to finish!

4 Stars...LOVE IT!

Keep it Creepy, Keep it Cool
I am relatively new to the world of Podcasts and luckily for me Spirits was one of the first I came across. It immediately became a must listen for me. I love learning the history of various mythologies and stories from around the world, as well as the hilarious tangents that the girls often go down.
