So, this is an interesting project, by the artist John Knuth. The paintings are beautiful, and they make me contemplate three of my favorite questions. When is art? Where is art? What is art?

Internet radio is nothing new, but there’s something very special about listening to Will Oldham’s show on Art FM, Louisville, Kentucky. The Signifying Wolf’s Musical Hours airs from 4 to 6pm on Mondays. I love hearing him do PSAs for local events at the public library.

Paul McCarthy is a Jack Mormon?

Michael Chapman is an English folk/jazz/experimental guitarist & singer who has put out a ton of albums over the years. After some initial success, he labored in obscurity for a couple decades, but he has been recently “rediscovered,” and his early ’70s records are starting to get reissued. This 1970 live performance is completely mind blowing. That’s Rick Kemp, later of Steeleye Span, on bass.

Here’s a thrilling collection of home recordings, from the 1950s and ’60s, by Nick Drake’s mother. h/t Trouble/WFMU

In the age of mass pop, Bohemian Rhapsody is the new campfire sing-along. You know it’s true.

If you haven’t seen this gorgeous video yet or heard one of the prettiest songs of the year, then shit, my girl, step to it.

Thank you to Bryan for posting a biscuited video for Daft Punk right below this. Cause the most interesting music conversation going on right now is how these two brand new and absolutely brilliant albums of 2013 relate to each other. The conversation’s as interesting as anything about Madmen, G.O.T, or the stupid IRS. Join the fun and download these albums immediately. And happy Memorial Day all my loved ones!!!

My favorite lyric of the year: “Wisdom’s a gift, but you’d trade it for youth.” Fuck Ezra Koenig for saying true things like that. But also thank you for my favorite expression of the year: “What you on about?”

Now go find a way to use it.

This may be the best thing you watch this week.

A funny little film. Don’t miss the last few minutes.
