Cartoon Express with Mick Michaels of Corners of Sanctuary

There are times when we need those signposts that remind of us of the past. They're best when they come from someone not from the past.

So then we're staring into the future past, or the past present, or the third thing the X-Men did.

So, anyway, check out some Corners of Sanctuary. You can get on their catalog HERE.

1. From a very early age, I gravitated towards anime. I never knew Speed Racer was anything other than just another cartoon.

What is the first one you watched that really shaped your tastes for years to come?

Mick Michaels: Early on, Speed Racer was definitely one of my favorites as kid in the 70s. From there I moved to Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. 

But I had also always been a big fan of Bugs Bunny, Flintstones, Popeye, Scooby Doo and that whole crew...definitely the classics. 

Saturday morning cartoons were also a favourite of mine, but what kid did not love Saturday morning cartoons...Super Friends, the whole Hanna-Barbera world.

Vinyloscopy with Corners of Sanctuary

It's time for an introduction for some gritty fellows from the east coast city Philadelphia, PA...which is my one day home.

They're a modern heavy metal band that's stuck into the classic sound of the old school.

Even in this modern world, we're going to need some throwbacks.

I think my new friends might say that the Chief (Craig Berube) and Brayden Schenn might think so. Thank you guys for sending those awesome chaps our way here in St. Louis.

But check out their tunes HERE and let's hear about their records.

1. Listening to Black Sabbath's eponymous debut the night I got it blew me away. What's the album that sounds the best on vinyl compared to digital sources?
