The Pop Culture Playlist: Namor

The Pop Culture Playlist tells the story of a comic character through music and this edition features one of my favourite characters, Namor The Sub-Mariner. As Marvel’s first anti-hero and one of the oldest comic characters in existence, Namor’s importance goes without saying.

The Pop Culture Playlist: Jaime Lannister

The Pop Culture Playlist creates a musical story for a hero or villain, but there are many people who fall in between.

Here are ten tracks that tell the story of the Kingslayer and everything he stands for.

Her country charm matched with her vulnerability makes her a great character to come up with music for. Continue reading “The Pop Culture Playlist: Rogue”
