I used Khan Academy when I reentered uni as a mature-age student and found it very helpful

I’m not a fan of ATHF and The Mouse and the Mask is still in my top 5 of all time. Production and lyricism are on another level.

Oh man, speaking of Kweli, his Black Star album with Mos Def needs a mention

He’s also Ice Cube’s cousin

Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations

Hip Hop: DJ Shadow- Endtroducing… Blues: RL Burnside- A Ass Pocket of Whiskey Psychedelic Rock: The Cambodian Space Project- Whisky Cambodia Dance/Electro: The Presets- Apocalypso

And only with consent

Honestly, it sounded like my Nan when she’s got her teeth out

Happy jamming!

Have you had a listen to Drive-By Truckers? Southern rock without the yee haw rebel pride.

Books!

Also books!

I hope impressionism is your bag.

All sorts of stuff. Books, trinkets, records, art. I like to hit up small regional galleries and local artists exhibits for original art, but I also have a lot of prints and posters as well.

Art gallery gift shops are a fantastic place for high quality prints and posters that don’t break the bank, and then you can spend as much or as little as you like on getting them mounted and on display.
