For history enthusiasts. Welcome to Havana Cuba 1928-29. Film footage with original sound.

Interesting, Jon! I had to jump to 6.28, Sloppy Joe's bar. Is that where the Key West bar got its name? Just across the water...
Edit: wikipedia says yes.

It is. I have been to the one in Key West. Sadly the one in Havana is under new management. But I really wish I could have stopped in back in the glory days. I love how fast the booze is flying off the shelves with all those thirsty Americans buying. And I also want one of those snappy summer hats!

What Makes This Song Great? Ep.17 BOSTON

I've been enjoying Rick Beato's 'What Makes This Song Great?' series on YouTube.

Rick does a fantastic job of reverse engineering songs, so you can get a greater understanding and appreciation for the work and talent that went into making them.

In the link above Rick reviews 'Hitch a Ride' by Boston.

Enjoy.

Gonna sail away sun lights another day;
freedom on my mind carry me away for the last time.
Oh, yeah.

Long interview with Anthony Deden (Edelweiss). Echos of Harry, Buffet, Taleb, even a bit of Scott Adams in there when he talks about operating a business.

Really a wonderful piece.

Hey now, good catch.

Seen on social media recently, but it’s been on youtube for years.
Can’t watch this without laughing.

I guess there isn't really a Youtube? It would be very entertaining if there was.

I once had a raccoon blatantly steal a beer from my campsite while I was sitting right next to it. Apparently he had acquired such a taste for it scrounging around in garbage cans that he was bold enough to go for a whole bottle. Too bad I couldn't tell him I would gladly sit down and share a beer or two or more with him if he wanted it so bad.

The planet that's closest to Earth most of the time is Mercury

This surprises me.

Hilarious! Never heard of the guy.

Just watched the new Rammstein video. Well that was...interesting.

First off, that is a pretty damn good song. The chorus especially.

But did you notice at the end, with the little piano outro, that the melody was essentially the same as in their earlier song (with one of the BEST intros ever), Sonne? I wonder if that was intentional, or they just forgot they already used that melody.

Click on my post where it says "piano outro" and just scroll back to the beginning.

Wait, click that, then the Sonne link, tell me what a great god damn noticer I am. Then you can watch the whole thing.

Probably intentional.

@Pug- just type Rammstein Deutschland into youtube.

P.S. @kriegs, you are a great goddamn noticer
