I love calendars.  And I especially love Dimash calendars. Here are two for 2026. Remembering two of Dimash's musical journeys; The Singer 2017 and his Stranger concerts.  The Singer 2017 flipbook See photos of each of his iconic performances on the program. The photos are from Dimash's Weibo. Stranger concerts flipbook Each month is represented by the first 12 concert cities, a photo from each concert and quotes taken from interviews and Dimash's posts. The photos are from galleries on Dimashnews portal. The calendars are also downloadable on Google Drive .    Thank you, Dimash Qudaibergen, for the music. You will never really understand just how many lives your art has influenced.

 When I saw Dimash's song 'Fire' on The Recording Academy's YouTube channel (Global Spin series), my heart jumped!  Who doesn't know that the Recording Academy is the organisation behind the Grammys?? For him to be spotlighted like this was fantastic! I found out that Global Spin is a performance series featuring artists from around the world where the celebration of the global music community is the focus.  Yeah, Dimash definitely is global. They also posted this on their website and socmed.

 I sometimes scroll through YouTube to watch reactions to Dimash, to hear what others say about him and his art and to get insights from other artists who see Dimash through the lens of their own skills and talents. I like Sir Hairless for his POV as a musician,  And sometimes I like to see what a guy like me (not a musician, not a performer) sees. Such as QofyReacts. QoFyReacts finally went to see Dimash in concert for the first time after reacting to his videos for four years.  Dimash blew his mind. Dears' love for Dimash awed him. And he said Dimash was so appreciative ... it was as if he came to meet his dears, not them coming to meet him. I liked this reaction a lot.

 When I was preparing to go for a Dimash concert in 2023, I found myself scrambling for a lyrics book so I could practise singing his songs. I didn't want to be caught unable to sing... and I didn't want to leave Dimash disappointed.   I was trying to figure out how to create one (for my own use) and was asking other dears how they managed. Some used their phones while others made cards or little books. So I thought, okay, I'll make my own book. And so I did, with help from other dears.   I wanted to print copies of the book but ran out of time. This turned out to be a good thing, actually. The arena was so dark that it was impossible to read any printed material. In the end, reading the lyrics off my phone was the best strategy.   I made the booklet in a format suitable for the phone (Instagram story format) and clear background just in case anyone wanted to print it. Well, that was the 2023 book.   Today I share an updated book , a...

 I love stories. Stories in books, stories in paintings, stories screaming from a friend’s tense expression… even stories in a leaf drifting down to the earth. I watch and wonder: Why are you leaving your tree? What have you seen? And of course, I love the storytellers. Those rare, wondrous people who can spin a tale so rich, so vivid, that I gladly lose myself in the world their words create. Some of my favorites? William Shakespeare , he of the twisty, sardonic phrases that dance between comedy and tragedy. Emily Dickinson leaves me with more questions than answers — her prose a puzzle I return to again and again. Oscar Wilde , with his irreverent wit, prances across the page like a well-dressed fox. And even e.e. cummings , whose words never sat where they were supposed to — but somehow still made perfect sense. I’ve read their works over and over again. Each time reveals something I missed before — a tiny gem, a secret tucked between the lines. But storytellers like these are ...
