Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Madeleine Peyroux – The Kind You Can’t Afford
An evening pause: Performed live April 4, 2011. Makes a nice contrast with yesterday’s pause. Both unique, well played, and completely different.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Larry Griswold
Saint Motel – My Type
David Brancato – Of Mice and Moon
The Corrs – Runaway
Yes – Changes
Meaghan Smith & Stadacona Band – It’s Been a Long Long Time
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra – For A Few Dollars More
Disney Pixar – Lou
Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.
Hat tip t-dub.
Birds of Flame – Open Country Joy
An evening pause: This performance is a tribute to the 1970s art-rock group, Mahavishnu Orchestra. They add a bit of country to the sound, which works surprisingly well. Ignore the bad camerawork and focus on the music, which somehow for me works for the first day of spring.

Kuroshio Sea – 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world
An evening pause: The music is “Please Don’t Go” by Barcelona.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who rightly calls this “A moment of serenity from Okinawa.”
The Virginia Gentlemen – Lady in Red
Ides of March – Vehicle
Johnny Cash – Hurt
An evening pause: Normally I prefer live performances. Normally I don’t like music videos edited with pretentious images, often about adolescent angst. This video is none of that. It is Johnny Cash, in his old age, looking back in time.

The Duck Song
Smothers Brothers – Red River Valley
Avner Geller and Stevie Lewis – Defective Detective
One Direction – Moments
An evening pause: The teen-age girls in this audience could have easily been swiped from the audiences the Beatles faced when they first hit the world scene.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Betty Hutton – Murder, He Says
Lorde – Glory and Gore
Conor Oberst – You Are Your Mother’s Child
David Byrne + NYC – Heroes
An evening pause: The event is one where the audience is enlisted to participate as a back-up choir for the night’s main performance.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Sasha & the Starlight – So Nice
Bobbie Gentry – Ode To Billie Joe
Spitfire 944
An evening pause: Somehow to me this film about an American pilot from World War II and a single moment during his tour seems fitting to me on Washington’s birthday. I can’t explain why, but it does.
