I love small obscure museums. The best is stumbling upon them when you’re travelling. Here’s a gem - the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum.

I’m loving these little hand-cranked sound baths by artist US Virginia Fleck. I love that they are based on reused materials and bingo cages. There is a range of these on her website, and they are all delightful.

This one goes out to all my ASMR heads. Moreover, to my sound designers, check out the texture on these page turns. That’s that vintage tone you only get from medieval pages. This also puts my back in the zone of one of my fave games of recent years - Pentiment.

Imagine an animated film that looks like it’s made up of drawings you did in your school books, that is very preoccupied with butts, but in a surrealist way. From 1972, The Midnight Parasites, directed by Yoji Kuri, who was influential on Japanese animation in the 1960s.

A chunky set of videos about Renaissance polymath Cornelius Agrippa. His life was partly the inspiration for Faust: occult writer and magus, theologian, philosopher, legal scholar, physician, soldier, mercenary, and knight.
He was also an entertaining dinner party guest (probably).
