The Bayeux Tapestry in full (explained)
A wonderful aesthetic is used in this video, used to give more information about the HBO series Game of Thrones.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHneSYdby0c&feature=relmfu

Firefly was a short-lived sci-fi program which I find interesting both aesthetically and conceptually. This was the final episode, focusing on one of the minor characters, River Tam. She has a host of psychological problems brought on by prior trauma.

Black Star...bringing a previously unheard-of intelligence and class to hip hop.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely performance, wonderful inspiration

Oh hot damn, this is my jam
