Webcomic: Goblins

Goblins is a fantasy RPG as seen through the NPC's eyes.  Specifically, the weak little goblins, who are mad as hell, and arn't gonna take it anymore.  Start at the beginning, or it won't make any sense, but this comic has moved me to the point of tears at various points.  The beginning is a little shaky, and DnD ingame jokey, and...it does have some puns, but, move past all that and you too will feel the love.

Webcomic: Girl Genius

I was originally introduced to Phil Foglio's work in his illustrations of Robert Asprin's 'Myth Adventures' fantasy series, in my more misspent youth.  A few years ago, I stumbled upon his and his wife, Kaja's, stunning comic "Girl Genius", about Agatha Heterodyne, a mad spark/inventor.  They classify it as 'gaslamp fantasy', which I think is just another name for steampunk.  It's delicious mad science, and everyone should be reading it.

Webcomic: Girls with Slingshots

I'm pretty sure I want to have Danielle Corsetto's alien love baby.  Despite being around since 2004, I personally only discovered her webcomic, Girls with Slingshots after a crossover with another webcomic I read, and of course, being slightly OCD, I had to read the entire archive before I read the crossover.

I love her style and her storylines and one day, ONE DAY...I'll probably introduce myself really awkwardly, and wish the earth would actually listen to me and swallow me whole on command.

Music: Birds and Arrows

Ok, so I'm totally biased since I'm co-owner of the label (307 Knox Records) that put out Birds and Arrows latest album, Starmaker. However, they are really amazing, and the album is so gorgeous and here is the cool thing: you can stream the album for free from The Independent, where they were album of the month.  You can also read their review and interview, but whatev, go listen.  And if you don't like it?  You have no soul. Ok, I will accept that it might not be your style, but it might also be the soul thing.
