4-Mation: 3D Zoetropes
An evening pause: I honestly don’t understand how this works, and the video doesn’t really explain it. It is quite amazing nonetheless. More information here if you want to dig about to figure it out.
Hat tip Cotour.
Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Olga Jegunova – Mozart’s Piano Sonata No 11 in A Major K331
An evening pause: How about we end the week with some beautiful music played beautifully by a beautiful woman.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Mattias Lindström (Swebounce) – Robot chair
Peggy March – I Will Follow Him
An evening pause: This live television performance from sometime in the 1960s, and was almost certainly performed by lip-sync to the recorded album. That audio for this video has been remastered.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa – Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)
John Woodfield RC Gliders
An evening pause: Seems appropriate with Ingenuity flying about on Mars. From the youtube webpage:
This was the maiden flight of my latest design. It was a bit of a mash-up, using existing wings and tail from old models. It weighs 1.5kg and was flying in about 7-10mph of wind. I feel it will be happier in about 5mph. The all-moving tail needs changing slightly as it developed some serious flutter if I picked up too much airspeed.
Hat tip Cotour.
Utopia
An evening pause: A short film that describes the world our children and culture are working hard to give us.
June Foray & Bill Scott – Rocky & Bullwinkle
An evening pause: For those who grew up in the 1960s. Everyone else is sadly deprived.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Ian Berry – Painting with denim
An evening pause: While there is a bit of barnum in this guy’s work, the final “paintings” are quite astonishing.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Jethro Tull – Locomotive Breath
Willie Nelson – Hit Medley
An evening pause: Performed live in 1965. This Willie Nelson performance shows him in his early days, before the beard and long hair and cowboy persona. His voice has also not mellowed into what would later become a truly unique sound.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Dave Mason – All Along The Watchtower
Lisa Ferraro & Houston Person – Teach Me Tonight
Mark Rober – Glitterbomb Trap Catches Phone Scammer
An evening pause: This is a little longer than most evening pauses, but trust me you will enjoy deeply every single second, so much so you might even want to watch it twice.
This earlier video by Rober shows how he developed this glitterbomb to catch doorstep package thieves. He has now taken that relatively minor engineering prank to a much higher and righteous level.
Yes – Round About
Mr. Skeleton – Good Golly Miss Molly
Bird Box Studio – Streat
Cat Stevens – Moonshadow
An evening pause: A lovely song, performed live in 1971 before he became a overzealous Islamist.
Hat tip Roland.
Jolie Môme – C’est Si Bon
The Carol Burnett Show – The Hitman
Melanie Oesch – From a Jack to a King
An evening pause: Hat tip from Jim Mallamace, who adds that she is singing “with her father, mother, and two brothers. So wholesome.” And from Switzerland no less.
BBC Earth – Hamsters!
John Prine – When I Get to Heaven
Friday Freakout – Super Sketchy Zipline BASE Jump
An evening pause: By the title I suppose this should scheduled for Friday but why wait. Note too that I couldn’t watch it all the way through. I know too much about how to do this right, and this idiot does nothing right at all.
But for those adrenal freaks out there, the video will give you a kick.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Genesis – Los Endos
An evening pause: Performed live 1987. The piece however begins with a spectacular six minute drum duet performed by Phil Collins & Chester Thompson. The level of musical communication going on between these two drummers as they play is literally impossible for a non-musician to conceive.
Hat tip Chris McLaughlin.
Bob Dylan – Like A Rolling Stone
An evening pause: Performed live at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Compare the scale and atmosphere between this Dylan performance at Newport with his performance there in 1964. In one year this event has gone from a casual gathering to a very big event.
Hat tip Roland.
The Carbonaro Effect – The Most Compact Survival Backpack
Doreen’s Jazz Band – The House of The Rising Sun
A evening pause: Performed live in 2014 in New Orleans, with Doreen Ketchens on the clarinet.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
MOS – JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who correctly describes this as “Short, energetic, and very brassy.”
Dave Matthews Band – Ants Marching
An evening pause: Performed live prior to the album’s release in 2007.
Nice way to start the week, with some energy.
