I like to think I have culture. Part of that is being artsy though I’m not into art for the sake of art. Sometimes people go out, do something weird, call it art and expect everyone to adore them. I do not.

What I do take an interest in from time to time is talent. Whether the medium is music, images, photography or video, I do enjoy talent. Something that demonstrates the skill and natural ability of the artist. If I can understand the talent in it, I like it.

I was playing around online and found a website that is devoted to art and as a consequence it has attracted artists, some good and some bad. I have taken the time to browse through some of the stuff there and found a number of interesting pieces. Here is an example:

Take a look at a list of other artsy videos I found. It will be an interesting cross-section of talent.

I like to learn about the things that interest me (strange, I know). One of the things that interests me most is music. I have not been able to devote the time to music I would like, but I am still able to eek out a little bit of time to listen, collect and learn more.

This little tidbit I found parousing our loved and hated YouTube. It’s 20 minutes, but it’s worth a listen. Especially if you like pop music.

So the next time you listen to what’s hot on the radio, you can remember this.
