Timestorm Films – Nox Atacama
An evening pause: From the youtube website:
The Atacama desert is home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world. …The environment is harsh though. Filmed in freezing temperatures, altitudes up to 5000m/16000ft, salt lakes and icy slopes, the Atacama is not friendly to life and equipment.

O Fortuna Misheard Lyrics
Brodie Cumming – 100 Famous Rock Guitar Riffs
The Vogues – Five O’clock World
Lucie Silvas – Nothing Else Matters
An evening pause: Beautiful, and the sentiment is right. I do however wonder in this song whom she is referring to with the pronoun “they,” and if she thought about this with any depth.

John Bonham, Led Zeppelin’s Drummer
An evening pause: Something a bit different, and very fascinating if you want to understand the sophistication of some classic rock.
