There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a weekly round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category. 

Inspiration

• The Hyperrealistic Sculptures of Ron Mueck  These send me directly into a daydream, like all good art does. La la la… down the rabbit hole I go…
• Jack Fowler – Fifty Dollar Art About a month ago I met Jack IRL for the first time. We’ve become fast friends and he inspires me every day. When he isn’t making glorious pieces of genius he does fun 12×12 pieces of original art for an easy price that are also genius. Go buy one or three. 
• Reporting from planet Earth: an interview with Wayne White “We mostly regret, live in the past or live in the future, and get caught within the two, remembering and anticipating. The whole power of art is that it is something made by someone who is fully there and passed it on to other people. By looking at it you get to experience it – that’s the whole mojo and voodoo.” Preach.

Nifty

• “Cups” by Anna Kendrick done in tap. I don’t know the lead guy in this video but I know his dad, which is neat. But you know what’s more neat? TAP DANCING. Geez, what a fun video!
• I’m hosting another house concert. If you’re near OKC, you should RSVP…but hurry because we’re into single digit remaining tickets. Artists include Stranded at the Station and Jack Fowler with Sunshine Hahn. Yes, the same Jack Fowler. There’s nothing that guy can’t do. 
• Dial-up modem sounds That’s all. Takes me way back to a time of message boards, listservs and trading love notes (via email) with a guy who lived too far away to ever really be my boyfriend. Ahhh…1994. 

Music

• Ryan Adams – Come Pick Me Up Another oldie that fell into rotation this week. 
• The Lone Bellow – Two Sides of Lonely I forgot to add this last week. I was at the show in this video and though I’m not a massive fan of their studio recordings, I am completely and totally smitten with their live show. It is magic. 

There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a weekly round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category. 

Inspiration

• Bill is a Fucking Jackass. “Bill continues to campaign, and management continues to ask the employees, and every time, the answer is in favor of the soda machine. This happens, lets say… 35 times. Eventually, Bill says “OK, I’M NOT PROCESSING PAYROLL ANYMORE UNTIL THE SODA MACHINE IS REMOVED”, so nobody will get paid unless management removes the machine.”
• 15 TED talks that will change your life. I haven’t watched them all but judging by the ones on this list I have seen (1/2), I’d say I agree with the title. 

Nifty

• Guy makes every other proposal in the history of proposals look like a joke. But can I make a snarky comment anyway? DUDE, they are sooooo young. Babies. Doe-eyed, fairytale Koolaid drinkers. I hope he maintains that thoughtful, creative energy. Because he set the bar very high right from the get-go. 
• Why did this kid eat so much? S/he is very disheartened over the amount of poop happening. Precious.
• I whined on Twitter and was rewarded with a Fiddle Faddle delivery Thanks again, 858-ToGo. They are a restaurant food delivery service and will likely not bring you Fiddle Faddle. But depending on where you are in OKC, they can bring you cupcakes and I don’t think that’s the least bit terrible.

Music

• Patty Griffin – Truth No. 2 I saw her Friday night at Cains Ballroom in Tulsa. She led with this song that I thought I’d never heard before and I loved it. Turns out, I had heard it. Proof? Here’s a video I just stumbled upon from my first Patty Griffin Show in 2007. What a cool find!
• Patty Griffin – No Bad News One of my top five Patty songs. “You can’t have my fear, I’ve got nothin’ to lose. You can’t have my fear, I’m not gettin’ out of here alive anyway.” It was nice to see this show with several of my friends who are DEVOUT Patty fans. In an intimate setting. Perfect.
• Blind Pilot – New York Could not get enough this song this week for some reason. It’s one of those slow-build dramatic songs with the sad guy voice and haunting music. Wistful lyrics. A virtual Sheri-jackpot. “And don’t keep me like you have me. And don’t kiss me like you don’t.” ::swoon::
