Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
“Weird Al” Yankovic – Smells Like Nirvana
An evening pause: A parody of “Smells like Teen Spirit,” according to the webpage, but as far as I am concerned it is a very funny parody of most “official” music videos, the kind I generally don’t like to post as evening pauses because, as Yankovic says in the first verse:
What is this song all about?
Can’t figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you’d tell me, I don’t know
It gets better from there.

Eivør & Danish National Symphony Orchestra – Trøllabundin
An evening pause: Performed live 2023 as part of a concert dubbed, “Viking.” From the comments on the webpage:
Trøllabundin means spellbound. In the viking age, ‘Galder’ was a kind of magic song that was used in seiðr (magic/witchcraft) practiced by mainly women, and to ‘galdra’ was to affect something by magic singing.
