A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Hozier & Annie Lennox – Take Me to Church / I Put a Spell on You
A evening pause: Performed live 2015.
Hat tip Doug Johnson. Note too that this does not come from youtube, but from metatube. Let’s find more alternative video resources like this, just to increase some competition.
Rollerman – Downhill extreme
An evening pause: More road stuff, of an entirely different kind.

Exploring Arizona’s Abandoned Highway 60 and the Claypool Tunnel
An evening pause: Better late than never. I forgot to schedule some pauses. This one is fascinating because of the history of technology it reveals.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
AC/DC – Thunderstruck
An evening pause: A bit of energy to start the week. Performed live 1991. For those unfamiliar with this rock piece (like me), I think it helpful here to turn on captions to find out what the performers and audience are singing.
Hat tip James Street.

Fiona Apple & Elvis Costello – I Want You

Samba – Bamboleo
An evening pause: Stay with it, the second and third dancing couples in this compilation are especially good. This isn’t Astaire & Rogers, but it is superbly done, nonetheless.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
Rick Wakeman – Journey To The Center Of The Earth
An evening pause: Wakeman’s fingers on the keyboards are hypnotic.

The view from the racecar of the Le Mans race course, as seen in 1968
An evening pause: From the youtube page:
This amazing piece of ground breaking onboard footage allows us to ride onboard one of the Gulf sponsored JWA Ford GT40s for a lap of the Le Mans circuit in 1968. This early onboard coverage was such a big deal, Stirling Moss does the narration. Its cool to see the Le Mans circuit as it was, without chicanes and with primitive safety features.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Massive Attack – Teardrop
An evening pause: Proves that good music with modern rock instruments does not have to be loud. I just wish this singer wasn’t using the modern slurring singing style that makes it almost impossible to understand the words.
