Arts & Crafts Videos from Etsy

Etsy has a YouTube channel where they have all kinds of profiles of their users and how-to guides. My two favorite series are the Process series (e.g. New Books with Old Materials & Tin Toys) and Handmade Portraits (e.g. Armor Guitars & Wood Mosaics). In the description of each video there is a link to the corresponding entry on Etsy's blog, The Storque. The blogposts have more information on the users and sometimes further links and videos.

Low is also the front man for Singapore indie space rock and electronica band The Observatory. Bangkok performance by The Observatory.

Mick Turner - Music & Paintings

Mick Turner: The melodies stagger and dance and swing and fall like events, emotions and thoughts. For me this...is a celebration of life, all of it, good or bad, for me it's a way to understand things I can't say with words. More Galleries

Get On Jolly
One of Turner's more intriguing projects is a collaboration with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy as The Marquis de Tren on the album Get On Jolly. The title is a homophone for Gitanjali^w, a collection of song offerings by Rabindranath Tagore that provides BPB's lyrics on the album. If by now Turner's unique guitar styling has caught your ear, you can try learning some yourself using tabs from Get On Jolly (64, 66) and the live versions, Get the Fuck On Jolly (CII, II/XV, LXIV, LXVI, and LXXXVI).
