I discovered this really cool artist over in another thread:

Daniel Danger

He does the gigposters for a lot of great bands too check out his website http://tinymediaempire.com

I was just wondering would people like to share something interesting they just discovered? It could be a song, film, art, book,funny video on youtube...anything really.

See my sig., that's what I find interesting.

An artist friend of mine posts on Boards, but I'm not sure if linking to his site counts as advertising or not. Search for artofwong(dot)com to see his work, it's amazing.

I love when it shows Uri on the Tonight Show.

Pigwidgeon · 05-09-2009 11:39pm

i find the ellen degeneres show amusing, especially after a sad episode of oprah.

wow i really could have done a lot more with ny summer...

jefreywithonef · 06-09-2009 12:05am

Aaaagh I hate that show, especially her 'dancing' with the crowd (many's the time whilst my mother turned on the show I immediately opened up iTunes, put on my earphones and cranked up the volume for some Stooges / Pixies / anything loud to drone out the insufferable handclaps

).

I love postsecret, it's always so tragically moving.

almostnever · 06-09-2009 5:15pm

It can be so comforting sometimes to find a secret you can relate to. Nice to know you're not alone.

Failblog.
Gives me hope. Sometimes this is good,it can be a bit crappy though.
My life is average. I've spent way too much time laughing at this!

Omegle is genius, it's where the crazies of t'internet converge (as well as the odd pervert). Not including myself, obviously...

Yes! Love this site, I don't frequent it so much these days but that doesn't mean I don't love it.

I'm very interested in music, but mainly music from other countries is what really peaks my interest. Slow tunes from Japan, pop from India and merry little songs from Russia. You'll find some great music on youtube from old Russian kids cartoons, all animated and normally very upbeat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUwRGPxCG_Y

Song done by an artist called Nujabes from Japan. He specializes in slow jazzy tunes and I definitely recommend a listen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGxUtflABeU

This is a really catchy tune from a kids show in Russia, it will give you a taste of how brilliant the music (and unique the animation) is from there.

If you are really into fashion, and more accurately fashion diary highly urge you to take a look at this site. http://www.thecherryblossomgirl.com/She's a French fashion designer from Paris who love love loves taking photos of her outfits and what she finds interesting in the world around her. I only found it a few days ago, but I'm already hooked and going through all her old entries looking for her photos! I love the ways she captures 'em. If you are into that, or if you'd rather more of a community kind of fashion thing go to Black Cigarette. http://community.livejournal.com/blackcigarette

I also regularly check the author Neil Gaiman's Blog (or Journal) and also check Amanda Palmer's one as well. And no, I was checking both of them way before I knew they were going out together. If it wasn't happening now, they were going to end up together eventually. Those who blog forever, stay together. Little Boots' blog is very great aswell.

http://harkavagrant.com/ Historical comics are kewl. So are these ones over at http://wondermark.com/.

Omg how kewl.

And for those who like PostSecret here is a daily pixel version. http://community.livejournal.com/ljsecret/

Ok, nearly finished!
http://www.terribleyelloweyes.com/Various artists showing their interpretations/ fan arts of the kids book Where The Wild Things Are.
http://joesnyc.streetnine.com/Daily photos of New York by one man.
http://www.notcot.org/Great site that sends links of great ideas.

Yeah, I think that's a smidgen of my interests.

I've been following this guy for about six months now:

He does loads of cool stuff!

Jay P · 05-12-2009 3:22pm

I remember when this thread first opened I absolutely loved it and meant to reply to it, but then I just forgot. So I'm bumping it so more people can reply!

So yeah, what I find interesting i at the moment is House! I absolutely adore this show. I'm halfway through season 2 now.

Also, 4od, it's excellent for watching Skins and How I met Your Mother

I've also recently really gotten into Shakespeare. It's tricky reading his stuff on my own, I'm used to having my teacher pretty much translate it for me, but I've been ploughing through it

You can buy Chris de Burgh tickets for the O2 in April 2011. You'd foret you'd hve them bought by time it comes around. I like this cos its funny and outrageous.

I've just spent roughly four hours going through all these links and going to other sites from them.

Thanks for sharing.

Here's a site that tries to answer some often baffling questions its readers send in. Enjoy.

That's incredible, when I saw this thread was active again I immediately thought of posting about straightdope!

Here's something I find incredibly interesting. A guy with locked-in syndrome answering people's questions very honestly and frankly. Fascinating, and very endearing...

The Film "The Diving Bell and The butterfly" deals with a Man with LIS. Based on a true story, incredibly beautiful film. Definitely a must-see.
