Johann Strauss – Perpetuum mobile
An evening pause: Hat tip Dane, who added that “Herbert von Karajan’s eccentricity as a conductor” makes this worth watching all by itself.
Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Blockhead – The Music Scene
An evening pause: Animation by Antonio Francisco Schepperd. As I watched this I could not help think of the very expressive 1960s word psychodelic.
The Dubliners – Dirty Old Town
An evening pause: Performed live, 1976, in Finland.

Lacy J. Dalton – Black Coffee
An evening pause: Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Pink Floyd – See Emily Play
An evening pause: The link calls this the official video, remastered in 2011. The style and look of the filming however fits the 1960s to a T.

Jimmy Eat World – The Middle
An evening pause: I normally find myself very bored with “official” music videos. The stories are almost always the same, centered on the imagined profound angst of adolescent teen-age emotions. This video however does a nice job of mixing the music with the story, in a somewhat creative and different way, even if the angst is still the same.

Pearl Jam – Alive
A evening pause: If you look closely, past the hard rock angst and anger and clothing and hairstyles and performance cliches, what you can see here are some very serious and skilled musicians.

Foster The People – Houdini
A evening pause: Sometimes simplicity is best.
