Video Mondays: Revisiting Kutiman Thru You Remix videos

One fun part of having someone new in ones life is sharing things that you love that one’s partner has never experienced before. So over this past weekend I introduced Deb to Kutiman’s “Thru You” and “Thru You Too” projects, where this amazing musical/video artist took snippets of unrelated music performances, demos, etc., off of YouTube and crafted 15 visual

Sweet As Whole by Sara Bareilles

DailyRandomShit for 2016-04-29 I always wondered why there were explicit lyrics warning stickers on sweet Sara Bareilles’ recordings.
