What 'Blue Monday' would sound like if it was recorded in 1933


BBC Arts and Orkestra Obsolete will take you back in time with this masterful interpretation of New Order's Blue Monday. Dressed in tailcoats and Zorro style eye masks, the bizarre group of musicians have re-recorded the electro-pop classic, giving it an ultra-vintage feel with instruments that were only available in the 1930s, such as the theremin, musical saw, harmonium and prepared piano. The cover was done in honor of the track's 33rd anniversary. Check out Orkestra Obsolete's freaky version of Blue Monday below. You can also watch it here.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
