30 Artists in 30 Days #4 – Julia Nunes

I couldn’t wait to get number four of my 30 Artists in 30 Days out, and it comes with an increase in tempo, and the indefatigable Julia Nunes. Although only 26, she’s been recording videos for her Youtube channel for at least seven years. Her videos are full of energy, quirky and funny, and you… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days #4 – Julia Nunes

30 Artists in 30 Days #3 – Cyra Morgan

Number three of my 30 Artists in 30 Days is perfect for a melancholic Sunday night. Cyra Morgan describes her music as intimate acoustic folk, and there’s a raw, vulnerable beauty that comes through her music. She’s quite new on Patreon, and writes that up to this point she’s been recording all of her music… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days #3 – Cyra Morgan

30 Artists in 30 Days #2 – Amanda Palmer

The second of my 30 Artists in 30 Days will probably be the last one that I had heard about outside of Patreon and is the one and only Amanda Fucking Palmer. She’s an inspiring person and creative in so many ways. Her famous TED Talk on the Art of Asking (if you haven’t seen… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days #2 – Amanda Palmer

30 Artists in 30 Days #1 – Nate Maingard

The first of my 30 Artists in 30 Days is the artist who introduced me to Patreon, Nate Maingard. He was one of their earlier adopters, getting involved in April 2014, and is currently one of their most well-supported, ranked 30th. I checked to see if he’s 30 years old as well, but I’m a… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days #1 – Nate Maingard

30 Artists in 30 Days

Last night I was roaming the internet again, discovering new music. We live in a wonderful time where exposure to new music is not limited to the physical media that our friends or relatives own, or what the local record store stocks. But it’s a time of adjustment for artists, where the old model of… Continue reading 30 Artists in 30 Days

Modern American Cryptographic Poetry

Having a little bit more free time these days, and suffering from an extreme compulsion to spend all this free time, I signed up for two Coursera courses at the same time. Both of them are lots of fun, but both are also a little more time-consuming than the ones I’ve done before, so I’ll… Continue reading Modern American Cryptographic Poetry

The Song of The Golden Dragon – Estas Tonne

I have a large collection of music that would probably take me many months to listen to from start to finish, but I find myself listening to it less and less, and discovering so much amazing new music. Today’s find, now on repeat, is the beautifully named Song of the Golden Dragon, by Estas Tonne.

“As I went out one morning”, better known as “OOH AH”

Many years ago, it wouldn’t have been uncommon to find me screeching in my bedroom. If you could stand the racket, you may have made out some of the words. “Ayee yeaaah ah, OOH AH”. It’s not really surprising that, given what I remembered, even in the age of Google, I couldn’t track down the… Continue reading “As I went out one morning”, better known as “OOH AH”
