Things I feel compelled to share: Tim Minchin

Occasionally, you come across something on the internet you just have to share. This is one of those things.

I like comedy. I like music. I’m a full-time skeptic and humanist. I have an unconditional love of reality. All of these things come together really well in Tim Minchin’s work. Here are three of my favorite ones so far.

White Wine in the Sun, a Humanist christmas anthem. Slow and a little sappy. But good.

If I didn’t have you. A song about statistics. Funny.

Storm, A 9 minute long beat poem (mildly NSFW):

The first one made me cry, happy tears, he’s really sweet about his daughter. The second one made my cry laughing. I have to rehydrate before watching the third otherwise I might turn to dust.

Good stuff: love Minchin’s work. I find it hard to believe that more people haven’t heard of him.
