A Sampler of Things is a sampler of things like these. Go there, get a sample!
Come to think of it, I probably saw it here first: Bedazzled!
Flash Thing: Park
A beautifully made flash thing (what would you call it?) with a little bit of point-and-click without any clear goal, as far as I can see. So it's not what you'd normally call a game. It's not new so you might have seen it before. Maybe you'll like it a bit anyway.
Here, though, is a game called Levers by the same makers.

Blogs: New Music Blogs On the Horizon
Twilightzone! is a new music blog by faithful Martin Klasch supporter Christoph (AKA Rideyourpony) aus Deutschland. Right now he is offering "Finnischer tango". Yes, the Finns love tango and probably think they invented it, and this is a funny and truly interesting compilation. Twilightzone! also has some great Bo Diddley, Screaming Jay Hawkins and more. To say the least it's a promising start!
Lostandfoundalbums is a very impressive co-operative music blog project which anyone and everyone can join. The creator of the blog is the infamous HansZUN. Already, after a few days in operation, there are lots of tasty music downloads linked there. OBSOLETE!

Art: Otto Dix
"Otto Dix (1891-1969), the great German Expressionist, was famous for his unique and grotesque style. Although Hitler's Nazi regime destroyed many of Otto Dix's works, the majority of his paintings can still be seen in museums throughout Germany." (www.mess.net)

Music: Birgit Lystager
This is a must! And it will only be available for download for a couple of days more - so hurry over to the fantastic blog Quite Quite Fantastic!
QQF mostly offers superfantastic mixes, which I highly recommend, but right now they offer some terrific out-of-print album rips like this one.
"Birgit Lystager is incredible, a Danish cross between Astrud Gilberto and Karen Carpenter with really artily written and composed pop songs..." (quote from Musictaste.com)
