Lockdown Music


There are few sights more enthralling than a pretty woman with a cello to enrapture a concert hall, especially if her name is Anastasia. She's brilliant, sexy, and has a stunning command of her instrument. This is real quarantine music, by the way. Life has changed immeasurably and everything seems so dramatic right now that Tchaikovsky sounds so good.

I've also been listening to a lot of PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, and Daft Punk. I remember staying for a bit more at the thrift shop, the first time I heard Something About Us some ten years ago. Man, it still rips.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.

Watching this video makes me feel like a tiny and trivial organism in the face of nature's relentless power.
