Every once in awhile a new musical artist is introduced to me that blows my mind and really inspires me to share their work w ith others. Here are two for today:
If anyone can tell me the words to this music please, please, please tell me. Can’t figure any of it out.
Next we have Kaki King.
The thing I love about watching/listening to these two particular videos is to see the flow they are in. Flow is an important cycle of mental activity that games easily generate. Engaging in the arts often produces flow, as do many other activities. Unfortunately, I think there are many of us who have yet to find which activities can help us induce a state of flow. It’s too bad because when in flow people can’t help but express themself without any filters or inhibitions. They radiate something special that infects us all with their presence.

Some other songs I’ve found pretty intense are Andrew Bird’s “Armchairs” and Okkervil River’s “So Come Back, I’m Waiting.” Check it out on playlist.com, or let me know and I’ll get them to you.
