The coolest and weirdest records you wish you owned


Here's a really interesting video that highlights some of the most unusual records ever pressed. I really like the zoetrope vinyls that produce continuous moving pictures when spun on a record player. But one of the coolest is probably The Flaming Lips's human blood-filled release of their 2012 album Heady Fwends. Among the celebrities who gave their blood samples were Nick Cave, Erykah Badu, Chris Martin and Ke$ha. There were just 10 copies made, with all of the proceeds going to The Oklahoma Humane Society and The Academy of Contemporary Music at UCO.

More Than Just Smiles and Sunsets

                  Ayala Museum is currently hosting "Amorsolo: Chroma" - a spectrum of brilliance you wouldn't want to miss. It is more than just a collection of paintings; it’s an experience. It’s a masterclass in light and color, a journey into the mind of a Filipino genius, and a fresh perspective on an artist many of us thought we knew. The first thing that you will notice you when you step into "Chroma" is… well, the chroma. While Amorsolo is famed for his mastery of light, this exhibition dives deeper into his entire color palette. It’s like entering a vibrant, living spectrum. Go check it!

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an  Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.
