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.

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 ]
