Please scroll down through the pretty pictures and take your pick of the new musics.
More concept art via The Art Showcase, this time from Italian artist Filippo Baracchi (who has an Instagram).
A feature in Open Culture about the Astronomicum Caesareum, a book the Metropolitan Museum of Art calls the “most sumptuous of all Renaissance instructive manuals.” More pictures at both links, but I recommend the first one if you wanna learn some history stuff.
Pixel art from Norma2D, a German artist who makes pretty things and works for tips.
New music: Black Myself by Amythyst Kiah. (Bandcamp or Spotify or YouTube). Blues rock from Johnson City, TN. Here’s one more video of her performing Wild Turkey, the other single from this album, a mournful ballad.
New music: Creator by Ora the Molecule. (Bandcamp or Spotify or YouTube). Moody synthy pop from Oslo, giving us a “music landscape with emotional Calypso-tinged melodies, always irresistible and danceable.” If you’re impatient, the music in the above video begins at 1:00.
Old music: Teach Me To Fight by YONAKA (2018). (Website or Spotify or YouTube). Hit play and I dare you to turn it off after hearing the guitar riff.
