-Diggy Simmons, son of Run (of Run-DMC) and nephew of Russell "Def Jam" Simmons, makes his own name with a slick, old school reminiscent cut that is equal parts his famous pop and something altogether new and fresh.
-Comedian Zach Galifianakis, coming off of an entertaining SNL hosting gig, shows exactly why his offbeat sense of comedy will keep him busy with an exhausting nine films coming out this year.
-Craig Gleason's "Gaga Dollars" is one of those perfect little storms of kitsch that pop up from time to time --inspired as they are cheesy. I would link to his own website, but even the name of the blog is not for those that are easily offended.
-Cyril Pedrosa's incredible book "The Three Shadows" tackles the unthinkable - losing a child - with a grace that is indescribable. I think about moments in this book almost every day.
-Helping to prove the point that there is a blog for everything, Coty Gonzales' blog reviews t-shirts and does it quite well. In a nod to this blog and one of my favorite Television shows of all-time here is his list of 101 shirts worth checking out.
-This has been around for a while, but for the uninitiated, Postsecret's website continues to amaze me with it's anonymous small glimpses into the parts of us that we never dare show.
-As a huge film nerd, I can't get enough of brilliant sites like the Art of the Title -- a site with that looks at the opening and closing title sequences of the films we love. Recent additions, like the fantastic "Sherlock Holmes" sequence, are required viewing.
-Worth the price of admission, Schoolism is art classes by artist for artist that usually hate art classes. As someone who hated his art classes in college, the site covers subjects like building a portfolio that will get you work or self publishing taught by freelancers putting in the work themselves, daily.
-If you haven't checked out the twitter account --shitmydadsays-- hit it up before the television show drops so you can tell all your friends you were down before they were. It is exactly what it sounds like; wild things the authors father spouts. The language is really bad but it is as amazingly insightful as it is hilarious.
