Contrary to popular belief, art is not subjective. Entertainment is, art is not. And by accord, every piece selected has been chosen because we feel it represents exactly what art is supposed to be: richly beautiful and worthy of experience.

Take your time, enjoy, and we hope you find something new.

Doomtree freestyle - Sims and Cecil Otter
Alone in Kyoto - Air [background music]
(created by annikannikannika, via YouTube)

North Shore Sessions is an organization that takes musicians in Duluth, MN out to random locations and shoots them with a single camera as they perform. This session was Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan, Lazerbeak, and Sims of Doomtree freestyling a capella out in the cold.
YouTube user annikannikannika took Sims’s and Cecil’s flows and added sick background music.

“Sonnet 94”

They that have power to hurt and will do none   
That do not do the thing they most do show,   
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,   
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow;   
They rightly do inherit heaven’s graces
And husband nature’s riches from expense;   
They are the lords and owners of their faces,   
Others but stewards of their excellence.   
The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet,   
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,   
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:   
  For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;   
  Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Politicians in My Eyes - Death (1971) 

Hunting For Witches - Joshua Petker (2008)
