Worthwhile! M.

M.

Because of the "thunder and lightning" line ... Great :) M.

One of those famous "liquor numbers" (Schnapszahl!) - nothing special otherwise except for a lot of questionable hype around estoreric stuff; however, I found Jay-Z's "4:44" ... I was quite surprised how multi-facetted and deep that one was (even musically ...). Not uncontroversial in terms of...

This day is the runner-up to a very nice one, so ... I'll cut back on the action. Just the images, then :) M.

Sorry, this is going to be kind of a lengthy one (because I'm kind of in the mood :p): Let's kick it off with this great find: I bet most of you did hardly recognise it - I certainly didn't know of Miriam Makeba's version! However, she's actuualy referring to ... this song: Now, I'm sure...

A blank canvas ... M.

Had forgotten about this wonderful song - even though I do own the record. M. P.S. The title is fitting - but only to an absolutely bearable degree; after the second Vaccine shot, going to bed early appeals ...

Something different for a change ... (I was looking for something completely different when I found this ... I'm lucky that YouTube clearly doesn't get me :-p) M.

Forgot to open the thread yesterday evening ... no harm done, I hope. I'd better post my image as well, then. M.

A fruit of yesterday's poking around ... (Extended version with a couple of instrumental solos in the second portion ... A street band classic if I ever heard one - note made!) M.

A room for a view ;) M.

I never knew (that this was the original) ... M.

Because it fits ... And because I just remembered the song, but not the band - so I had to look it up. Shame on me ... M.

One of many similar ones, this one in Swiss German; here's an attempt at a translation: You've been here for a year, you don't want to go. We'll kick you out the door now, bye, Corona! 'Cause we're big on vaccination now (those who want) the easy life* is over now, bye, Corona! Yes, a lil' jab...

Iconic - again! Thanks for the tip, Miguel! M.

As threatened ;) M.

Sorry, I'll keep the musical theme going for a bit because I stumbled upon a couple of hilarious folkpunk videos on June 1st and went from there (I won't show everything, but a couple will most probably follow). Don't take it (or me) too seriously - just a little insolence to let of steam, I...

Here's a song by the band I should have posted another song by on day 420 ;) No offense meant to anyone, obviously ... M.

Nothing to see here ... Sorry ... M.

Iconic! M.

Almost forgot ... M. P.S. Please feel free to create a thread daily whenever I fail to provide one ...

A bit of a read for a change ... https://www.35mmc.com/28/05/2021/why-taking-photos-for-money-is-good-for-you-by-david-hume/ Kind of a rewarding period at the moment - a couple of worthwhile bits popping up on my daily sites and feeds ... M.

Interesting. And very well made indeed ... M.

These guys are always good for a little surprise. I have no idea what they're singing about (I hope it's bearable), but I really enjoy the fun they have - and the song's really catchy ... M.

Enjoy! M. P.S. A propos of 421: I consider this a much better way to lose your mind: Dance off!

I'll spare you my quirky ideas today ... respite! M. P.S. 420 (cannabis culture) - Wikipedia - I know ...

Yesterday, something popped up when I listened to the EMPTYKRAFT clip again ... And a short while later, I found this. This, too, is Japan. M.

I suspect I have used this before, but it's just such a terrific performance that I felt I can risk it ... I'd love to see those guys live! M.

I researched white space (also called "negative space"); here's a nice take on it ... Something to explore ... M.

Have fun ... M.

Nothing but a bare wall to hang your images ... M.

Again, just for fun: I'm going to listen to that album now ... M.

A propos of nothing very much ... I actually never thought about what this song was actually about - until I discovered Ra's version ... M.

I thought about being lazy and just leaving the thread without a kick-off ... And then I found this: Someone had no ideas, but a working idea on how to present this fact in a possibly useful manner (not that it seems to have played out, though). Still, nicely paradoxical. M.

Start Date May 16, 2021 End Date June 13, 2021 Photo Essay: With six photographs (no more, no less) tell me a story of your choice. Your story should have a clear beginning, middle and end. You must give your photo essay a title. There is no requirement for you to include captions or text...

Something I truely didn't know ... https://www.411.com/ What's behind this is almost history, if a somewhat quirky part of it, and still ongoing: the old three-digit service call numbers, like 911 in the States, 144 in Switzerland - the one that too many had to call lately - or 112 in Europe...

He's definitely right about this ... M.

For no reason at all (and certainly not to be taken literally). M.

An empty space to fill with images ... Another "drop dead" evening - I dozed off before ticking off everything on my to-do list. M.

Once more, just something I remembered ... M.

Insightful ... And not irrelevant for visually inclined people. M.

A propos of nothing very much (I had misheared the lyrics: "10:05", not "4:05", but, well ...) M.

Page Not Found! https://www.canva.com/learn/404-page-design/ :) M.

Sorry, void again for a change - I fell asleep yesterday evening, so "forgot" to set up the thread ... M.

A slightly older of his videos - well worth a recommendation! M.

Fitting after today's turmoil - it's all good now, though (well, mostly - but it should settle soon). (N.B. It's well possible that I don't use this for the first time - but I really do like the song, so bear with me; it's what I was humming when out and about shooting "yesterday", anyway ...) M.

20x20 So I looked for "20 by 20 song" and found ... A Story (yes, one with a capital "S"). https://whownskenya.com/index.php/2021/02/04/justina-syokau-biography-background-family-career/ And for all of those who don't know me enough, no, I'm not being cynical here. This is one of millions...

Contrast his enthusiasm for wildlife with the human behaviour going on around it all ... It's pretty revealing, but still uplifting. M.
