Suprise, surprise: Hugh Laurie is a world-class jazz pianist
by You probably know Hugh Laurie as the grumpy doctor in the TV show House. Well, the guy is full of surprises. The British (surprise number one) actor is also a world-class jazz pianist. He plays a smokin’ version of the old blues classic St. James Infirmary on his recently released debut album, Let Them Talk.

Blu’s films are like M.C. Escher on acid. Fascinating as they are creepy to watch, you’ll find his shorts harder to turn away from than a 20 car pile-up. Just to be clear, when I say shorts, I’m talking about his films. Ok? Watch on and be awed.
Corpocracy: paintings by Michael D’Antuono
It’s no laughing matter how our Democracy is mutating into a Corpocracy. The government’s servitude to the limitless greed of the corporate elite is increasing the disparity in wealth and opportunity. In this video, I use my paintings to illuminate the problem and motivate people to fight back in the class warfare waged against the common man.
Dion’s new song: I Read It In The Rolling Stone
He was the wanderer, he warned everyone to keep away from Runaround Sue (today Rush Limbaugh would call her a slut), and he was just a teenager in love. Fifty-four years since his first hit record, Dion DiMucci’s chops are better than ever. Check out his song, I Read It In The Rolling Stone, from his new album, Tank Full Of Blues.

Blow yer damn mind with Andreas Kocks’ outsized papercut installations that resemble liquid splashes, organic forms, and impossible cloud formations.
We are immersed in a fast, accelerating environment with no time for contemplation. We devour things without retaining much. In my work, I like to slow down, recycling images and messages, playing with objects and brands, in an attempt to extract a sort of fine powder: the unconsumed beauty of things. Read more

Whenever I begin to take life too seriously, I head over to Indexed for a little humor treat. Never have math, formulas and graphs been so clever and witty. The creator of the site started it as a way to make fun of some things, sense of others. Somehow her little formula worked. She is now listed in TIME Magazine’s Top Blogs of 2008. And now Jessica Hagy is a published author. Enjoy exploring the inner-workings of her mind. It is simply delightful.
The Kevin Ayers record Joy of a Toy from 1969 was released by Harvest Records and sits somewhere between Nick Drake and The Byrds. A record slightly ahead of its time, it was filled with enough interesting and clever arrangements and instrumentation to never bore. Girl on a Swing is my favorite tune for the tremolo guitar.
Derrick R. Cruz has channeled his talent for creating densely detailed works into the creation of the brand Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons. Fuelled by the New York city art and fashion scene, Cruz’s pieces are timeless but relevant, and beautifully detailed in their imperfections. They combine gold, silver, resin and bronze to create dark but wearable art.
