How tennis balls are made in a Pakistan factory
An evening pause: This was how things were done in the first century of the industrial revolution. Apparently, that century still exists in some places in today’s world.

Heart – Alone
An evening pause: Performed live 1987. I posted a pause of this group performing this song, with full orchestra, one year ago. This performance is more intimate with just the band. It also was done thirty years earlier, so they are younger and more intense.

Belinda Carlisle – Leave A Light On
An evening pause: Performed live 1990.

Doctor Who – The Master Summons the Sea Devil
An evening pause: I never watched Dr. Who, so I have no idea if this clip is a typical representation of the show. Its schlockiness however is quite impressive.

The Brothers Comatose & AJ Lee – Harvest Moon
An evening pause: Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Freedom Toons – Jordan Peterson sings Evanescence
An evening pause: I don’t know why, but to me this cartoon, which puts the fundamental words of Jordan Peterson to the tune of a rock song, with appropriate but light-hearted visuals, seems perfect for this year’s Memorial Day. From the song:
You cannot escape the suffering that comes with life
Carry all your pain
Become hero archetype
The past generations who sacrificed their lives for our civilization, whom we are supposed to honor and remember today, understood these words and didn’t need a teacher to explain them. Today’s generation, badly taught by my 60s generation, needs to hear them and think about them. If they do, the future will be bright indeed.

Shawn James – Wild Turkey, Trout, Forest Garden
An evening pause: From a project James calls “Living off the land.” This pause contrasts starkly from last Friday’s, in that this is slow and peaceful and that was fast, fast, FAST. I think it also makes for a nice entrance to the Memorial Day weekend.

An evening pause: Hat tip Dan Morris.
