Homeless Mustard Sings Creep

The story
Homeless guy Mustard walks into a radio show where they are promoting a ‘homeless shopping spree’. During the interview it turns out that Mustard can play guitar and sing. He takes his guitar and starts playing Radiohead’s ‘Creep’.... Beautiful.

Why this story inspired me
This might be one of the best versions of ‘Creep’ that I have ever heard. The way he sings the song shows that the lyrics could be his. He owns the lyrics. Very moving.

What I hope sharing this story will lead to
I hope that more people are able to find their unique style/voice. The guy in the clip doesn’t just play a cover of a song. He takes the song as an idea and makes it his own. That’s a big difference.

Intersection Repair

Can you imagine that an intersection could be a community plaza? The annual Village Building Convergence event organized by City Repair proves that this is indeed possible. During these events, hundreds of people come together to take back their streets via a process labelled as Intersection Repair.

Sand Animation

A couple on a bench become a woman’s face; a weeping widow morphs into an obelisk for an unknown soldier. - With “sand animation” Kseniya Simonova evokes stories and feelings of the Ukrainian history, especially World War II. With her performance, the 24 year old won the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” competition. The final words translate something like “You are always near me”. Very moving! (via netzwelt)

Memorial Of Light

8 years ago, on September 11th, there was a tragedy. Politics aside, the tribute of just lights, where the towers stood, is amazing. The video above is silent but another video, in the full post, was taken at the base of the lights with commentary that agrees with me that the light tribute is great. Another video in the full post includes close ups of the light itself. Really amazing.
