Odd music requires odd instruments. This website has a ton of pictures of old instruments you won’t see in an American pop group. There are also experimental hybrid musical instruments and information behind them. Most of them are probably too rare for my price range, but I can try to make my own Cigar Box [...]

andrzejdragan is an amazing surreal photographer and photo manipulation artist. I have seen nothing like it. It resembles an ordinary photograph, but at the same time it’s extends reality. Truly unbelievable. I haven’t a clue how to pronounce the name of the guy, but it’s totally worth checking out even if you hate art. Amazing [...]

There is a really interesting musical frequency generator that produces unique “free jazz” style tones when you move the frequency scroll bar around with your mouse. It’s called the Jazz Machine. You can play with it online or download it to your computer. It’s completely free and easy to use. It’s fun because it can [...]

Slang and being creative with language is great, but it isn’t the best way to get educated from your favorite music star or movie.
