Mmm is a super playful one page website maker with drag and drop abilities to quickly and easily make a characterful collage/comic/website. Looks fun!

Lots to ingest in this talk on creativity by sculpture artist Tom Sachs! I love the bit about “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” - I’ve often struggled with having lots of ideas and being buffeted about by them instead of choosing one and seeing it through to the end.

Japanese designer Okazaki Tomohiro makes playful stop-motion animations of matches. Mesmerising and oddly satisfying!

This mind bending puzzle game is a somehow calming trip through infinity. Each level is solved by twisting gravity to manouver blocks as you travel by falling/flying through endlessly repeating versions of the same world. It’s hard to explain, watch the trailer!

Holy moly I enjoyed this animated crazy Spider-Man film a lot! They really went to town experimenting with the animation and visual styles. Even the end credits are a piece of motion graphics art. The sound design is rad and the characters are all great too! My partner Katie usually hates superhero films, but as soon as we finished this one she said “I want to watch that again…” so, there you go!

This pop/punk/noise album by Norwegian band Pom Poko is like candied habañeros, sweet but spiky! Gets me excited!

This compilation album of Venezualan music from 1966 - 1978 is bringing some sunshine to my life at the moment. My lil boy loves dancing to it too! There’s a second compilation out soon if this floats your boat.

A trippy lil short of two guys talking bout nothin while their faces go nuts.

A musical making video with a fun version of Popcorn at the end :)

A home concert video with Róisín managing to be totally captivating and badass in her living room!

A website that detects where your cursor is and choses a photo of a person pointing at it. A momentary diversion, but it’s pretty fun!

This guy has been making silly videos for a while and just blew up from 3k subscribers to 733k in the last two months thanks to this series of animations.

A very stupid music video with some great inspiration for things to do in lockdown.

A live music performance by pianist and synth virtuoso Georgie Ward! Amazing stuff! Georgie was/is the synth player in my new band Bandrucker. We played one gig then I had a baby and the pandemic hit and it all screeched to a halt. I hope to play music with Georgie again when the situation allows, she’s a badass!

A playful short film about anticipation and release. I also enjoyed this short by the same director.

This music video is a joyous brass explosion to blast your frosty cobwebs away.

A comedy series about a couple of teenage tearaways growing up in Ireland. It’s reckless and ridiculous and very sweet at times too :)

Corey Henry plays this unusual instrument insanely well! Beautiful stuff!

This house/disco album by Crackazat has been the soundtrack to my new favourite activity: dancing my baby boy around the kitchen in a “keep fit” style! He freakin’ loves it and I do too, so that’s pretty perfect really.

This short story by Andy Weir about a man who dies and meets his creator is a quickun, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot since reading it!
