Oregon as seen by a modern drone
An evening pause: The music is by “Lost in You” by Lior. The video demonstrates the endless possibilities that drones will bring to us in future years.

Marlene Dietrich – Lili Marleen
An evening pause: The song, aired initially during World War II by the Nazis for their troops, became a popular hit for soldiers on both sides of the war. Marlene Dietrich then recorded it as part of her effort to win the war for the Allies, in both English and German. She noted once that the German version is “darker”. Here is the English version.

Jinan Acrobatics Troupe – Rings
An evening pause: Two things to note: First, they purposely knock the rings down periodically to show that they are not held up very firmly. Second, one of the musical pieces they play is the main theme from the film Exodus (1960). The score won an Oscar for Ernest Gold.

Daft Punk – Get Lucky
An evening pause: Hat tip Kyle Kooy. I don’t think the Chinese military realized that they were marching to this music, but gosh darn it, they sure appear to. As Kyle noted to me, “Somebody took a Chinese military parade and set the music to the American song “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk. … [It] creates a very mesmerizing video that is both upbeat and somewhat eerie at the same time.”

An evening pause: What could be better? Glowworms, a cave, and beautiful music by Dexter Britain called Light Bridges.
