From Donald Glover: Childish Gambino - Little Foot Big Foot (Official Video) ft. Young Nudy [6m] Genius lyrics page.

Simple Rules for Better Sandwiches [11m30s] is part of the Technique with Lan Lam series from America's Test Kitchen. From suggestions for contrasting ingredients to techniques like pressing, and other ways to examine the ways that sandwiches could be improved.

Personally I find both kimchi and avocados to be non-food, so one recipe in this video was horrifying to me, but I appreciate the principles that are being taught here.

I'm not quite sure what there is to say about Silverback is very happy to make up with his son.｜Shabani Group [11m25s] other than there's a lot of behavior on display here that feels relatable, and also some that is really alien. I don't know how much others might engage with this, but I found it interesting enough to share.

Here's the 1999 Broadway production of Oklahoma [3h], directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Hugh Jackman, Maureen Lipman, and Josefine Gabrille. It's a great production of the classic version of the story. More modern productions have been more subversive, but this is a more traditional presentation of this quite old musical.

YouTube is shoving animal videos at me, and so here are some animal videos! Here are 10 minutes of above-average cat videos; it's a compilation; it has annoying narration. Here are four minutes of owl videos with music that is not totally awful. Here is two minutes of an adorable rhinoceros calf getting acquainted with a zookeeper while mom looks on. And finally 3m30s of the most dramatic husky with their thoughts interpreted for the viewer.*

*I've known much more dramatic huskies than this. But wow, still!

I don't know why YouTube is serving me all these concerts right now, but I'm not complaining. Here's Soundgarden - Hyde Park - Hard Rock Calling 7-13-2012 - Pro Shot (HQ) Full Show [1h54m], arguably the band at the height of their career after taking a break and reforming. This concert is shortly before the release of their final album King Animal.

Since this post has been taken down because the video has been taken down, I have since found three versions of Madonna - Live From Copacabana, Río de Janeiro, Brasil (The Celebration Tour 2024) [2h15m], of which this is the most recent. This is essentially a game of whack-a-mole, but it keeps getting reposted. Just search for "Madonna Celebration Rio" to find the newest version. Enjoy!

So, Jeff Daniels recently visited the Kelly Clarkson Show [13m]. It was an entirely lovely and kind visit full of humanity. But the real surprise is his confession of the love of playing guitar, having written a zillion original songs, and his performance of a song about how the guitar is his best friend and he moves Clarkson to tears with his performance. It's entirely unexpected, and I'm sorry to have spoiled it for you, but how else could I have gotten you to watch this interview?

Here's a link to just the song, if you don't want the full interview. Although they're both so charming in the full interview, just go watch that!

Madonna's free Brazil concert at Rio's Copacabana beach attracts more than 1.6 million fans. That's a lot of people. I wish I could see that. Oh, here! MADONNA THE CELEBRATION TOUR IN RIO FULL SHOW 04/05/24 HD [2h15m, ProShot]

David Bowie Live | 1983 | Sydney | Serious Moonlight Tour | Pro shot | Complete Concert [1h50m] "On the 20th November 1983, David Bowie performed his final Australian concert of the Serious Moonlight tour. This Betamax recording was taken from a sight screen feed made at that time. The first couple of numbers, plus the end have some artefacts but, as it hasn't been viewed in nearly 40 years, the quality overall has held up well. The audio was in mono and has been remastered to bring it out more."

A document that I had no idea existed. Enjoy!

I believe this is from 2007. The Seinfeld Roundtable [1h] has the core cast plus Larry David sitting around talking about the show. Michael Richards doesn't speak much. I enjoyed it enough to share.

Dashing around the course on a single wheel at speeds that seem very unwise, taking hairpin turns while trying to maintain position, driver camera footage as well as drone footage... I have never seen anything quite like Monocycle Mayhem: Epic Battles Unleashed | 12 Thrilling Laps on Spanish Asphalt | Electric Unicycles [10m] It feels a bit chaotic at the start but by the midpoint I found it much easier to follow the narrative of the race. It's quite a thing to witness!

BARABAR, THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF THE FUTURE [2h] "2,300 years ago, in India, 5 chambers were carved inside enormous granite rocks. According to rudimentary inscriptions engraved at their entrances, they were purportedly offered by a king to serve as monsoon shelters against rain for a sect. WELCOME TO THE HEART OF ANCIENT INDIA, IN A FORGOTTEN CHAPTER OF ITS PAST... THAT COULD VERY WELL CHANGE HISTORY."

These highly polished, very specifically designed spaces are mostly a mystery. [Wikipedia] The inscriptions that "donate" them to a religious sect for shelter are likely centuries after the chambers' creations. The documentary feels like it gets quite divergent only it comes back and ties things together, a couple of times. There are mysteries in the world we have no explanation for.

The process of making a mirror ball. The last remaining mirror ball manufacturing factory in Japan. [14m30s] Depicts making a mirror ball. Actually pretty interesting.

It's strangely entrancing and quite fascinating, but here's time-lapse photography of mealworms eating various things -- apple, cherry, reddish sprouts, cheeseburger, even a Carolina Reaper pepper. CAROLINA REAPER VS MEALWORMS [8m] I didn't expect this would be so interesting, but it really is.

Are there things mealworms CAN'T eat? [4m30s] is a bit of a companion piece, and does feature things the mealworms cannot eat.

Finding Lillian: The lost patients of Washington's abandoned mental hospital [25m, Seattle Times] "He uncovered 200 headstones. She was searching for remnants about her great-grandmother's life. This documentary follows two people's consuming quest to unearth the truth about Northern State Hospital and revive the stories of its forgotten patients." Companion longread article, The Lost Patients Of Washington's Abandoned Psychiatric Hospital [Seattle Times]

From YouTube channel Legends Of Soapbox Racing, I present to you London's BEST CRASHES EVER #redbullsoapboxrace #londoncrashes [28m]. It's a cavalcade of hilarious car designs and amusing sudden ends. Despite the crashing, there don't appear to be any real injuries.

Shockingly, the 20th Anniversary of Marillion's album Misplaced Childhood is over twenty years ago! Anyway, FISH - Return To Childhood 20th anniversary tour of misplaced childhood [3h12m] is an odyssey, with Fish's solo career dominating the front half and a full playthrough of Misplaced Childhood and a rundown of other Marillion songs in the second half. It's a really delicious feast of this particular style of prog rock. If you're a fan of early eighties Genesis and don't know about Marillion/Fish, check this out. It's what you're looking for.

I still think the original run of 4 Marillion albums with Fish as frontman and then the first Fish solo album Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors all work together as a sort of meta-Concept Album. That might be the subject of a different post, but those four plus Vigil... closing with the love song that Fish talked about wanting to try to write on the first album? I mean, it's all a bit of a tidy bow. There are even melodic elements being reused across all four albums. anyway...Marillion: the story of their dark masterpiece, Misplaced Childhood [Louder, longread]
