Art.

Real quick, I just wanted to mention two artists that I just recently learned about. They're pretty awesome and I feel like everyone should know about them. 

Ann Hamilton - crazy good at everything she does. Some of her work is sort of creepy, in the sense that it reminds me of ghosts and horror flicks, but nevertheless, she excels in her work. 




Sheila Pepe - I don't know much about her, other than the fact that her focus is mainly with fibers. She creates these massive ropes and bindings which act as installation pieces and they're very bold and interesting. I'm taking a project class at the moment for Crafts and Material Studies with a focus on Fibers and I'm hoping to create something inspired by her work, for my project.

Music.

Chris Garneau.

I downloaded one of his albums (Music for Tourists) off some music blog a few months ago and just recently, I've been listening to him a lot. His music is sort of a mix of folk, indie, pop, and carnival music. He's got a really good sound going, and I definitely think he's worth checking out. I don't remember what blog I got it from, so I'll just post a link to hypem.com which will probably lead you to a blog where you can download it. 

All the songs off this album are really good, but Blue Suede Shoes is probably my favorite at the moment.
