I have to learn to play a new instrument

And to learn how to play my new musical instrument, I went to Youtube.

Where I found this absolute delight. I recommend watching all the  way to the credits.




I've subscribed to Bob Ebdon's Youtube channel. Apparently he's based in Lincoln UK, so it will be hard to get him to an Astronaut Love Triangle practice.

The Three Suns: Beyond the Blue Horizon

Beyond the Blue Horizon from Bill Domonkos on Vimeo.

Original from the 1940s at the Prelinger Archive

Questions for Astronaut Love Triangle:

• Could we get alien heads with big blinking eyes?
• Or clear dome helmets?
• And should we re-record this as Beyond the Blue Event Horizon?

Brett Domino shows us how to do it

p.s. For this post, I tried to put "International Space Station" as the location, but Google said "Unable to find location, please try a different query." I'm disappointed, Google.

Rolf Harris: Is the dance over?

I'm on a Rolf Harris kick this weekend.
Had to share this video with you.

This is from a British show called the Money or the Gun and every week a different performer did a version of Stairway to Heaven.
I think Astronaut Love Triangle needs to get a wobble board.

Bollywood's Answer to the Beatles

From Janwar (1965). I want to see this movie. IMDB says:

Mr. Srivastava lives a very wealthy lifestyle with his wife, and two sons, Mahendra and Sunder. He plans to get both his sons married to women from equally wealthy backgrounds. This does not happen, as Mahendra falls in love with Seema, who is poor and lives with her stepmother. This creates considerable acrimony in the family, and Seema is not accepted as a daughter-in-law. Unable to find a solution, Mahendra takes to alcohol and falls in the bewitching clutches of a beautiful courtesan by the name of Bahaar. 

While vacationing in Srinagar, Sunder meets with Sapna, who also comes from a poor family, falls in love with her and wants to marry her. She, too, falls in love with him. After the vacation, the two then part company. The next time Sapna sees Sunder in the company of a pregnant woman, and overhears that Sunder is soon to be a father. Did Sunder decide to obey his father's instructions after all? If so, what is to become of Sapna?

The Ottawa Public Libary has a bunch of Bollywood titles, but they don't have this one.

Interesting use of food colouring.

Space Girl by The Imagined Village

From Wikipedia:

The Imagined Village is a folk musical project founded by Simon Emmerson of the Afro Celt Sound System. It is intended to produce modern folk music that represents modern multiculturalism in the United Kingdom and as such, features musicians from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The name of the project comes from the 1993 book The Imagined Village by Georgina Boyes.

Check out Murder Mystery

Murder Mystery have free samples of catchy songs at their website.

By far our favourite...

Sophie Madeleine crafts completely charming two-minute pop songs, (mostly) for ukulele. Her work is also completely AutoTune-free, which endears her to us even more. For a fuller flavour, slide over to Miss Sophie Madeleine's Youtube Channel - same song in the main frame, links to many more on the right.
