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.

Olga Jegunova – Mozart’s Piano Sonata No 11 in A Major K331

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.

Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa – Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)
An evening pause: From Léo Delibes’ opera Lakmé.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
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
An evening pause: Performed live in 1982.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
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
An evening pause: Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Lisa Ferraro & Houston Person – Teach Me Tonight
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
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
An evening pause: Performed live 1991.
Hat tip Chris McLaughlin.
Mr. Skeleton – Good Golly Miss Molly
An evening pause: Hat tip Tom Biggar.
