This account is now for reading only. I went back and deleted pretty much everything not arts related. I have to put my blog behind enough barriers that the only people who check it are people I talk to on a regular basis and don't need a blog to update them. So this will be the end of updates on this blog. I just feel like I'm suffering from over-exposure on the internet.
This video is awesome, featuring a ukulele orchestra playing "Life on Mars." On the second verse they start getting creative and overlaying the song with verses from other songs with similar chord structures.
Since I'm a nerd I looked up the songs:
They have a lot of other videos on youtube worth checking out.
- Frank Sinatra - My Way (which makes sense given the history of the song)
- Garth Brooks - For Once in My Life
- Andy Williams - Born Free
- The Who - Substitute
- Randy Crawford - Someday I'll Fly Away (better known from Moulin Rouge)
This is cool! Left click to change colors.
Thought this was cool, two new pieces by Mendelssohn were recently unearthed and sold at Sotheby's.
Penguin books is releasing books with blank covers of art quality paper, so that people can create their own covers. Such a cool idea! I know I have found editions of books in the past with just god awful/completely inappropriate cover material. I'm also just a fan of make your own _____. It's a UK site though, so hopefully they will also be released in the States...
