I just watch it for the music

Are you sure that you don't watch it for other reasons?

"Nightlight" - Silversun Pickups.

I keep getting redirected to RuPauls Drag Racing.

Thanks Eisenwurst for Benesh's musical walk through Rome, this was great to see and hear.
The mood and atmosphere there is really great, and nice to see streets and places crowded with laughing people. At the same time sad that public life has virtually stopped, no concerts or visitors in Rome or Italy right now.

The 'net does have its advantages

This Lockdown sucks. I'm starting to lose it. Binge watching "Girls und Panzer".





"Yuki No Shingun" - A "Gallows Humour" song from the First? Sino/Japanese War 1880s. Banned for many years.





"Panzerlied v Katyusha".

There seems to be a sort of rite of passage for rock guitar players when they are starting out; in the 50s and early 60s, you weren't considered a good player unless you had fully mastered the catalog of Chuck Berry licks; in the mid-60s, being able to accurately play Clapton's Cream-era licks got you the nod; nowadays, it seems, you don't get the imprimatur unless you are able to play Hendrix licks, particularly being able to play Little Wing and/or Voodoo Child (Slight Return); I've seen an awful lot of guitarists on YT, and elsewhere, trying to play Voodoo Child, in particular, but I've always been fascinated by just how many musicians have tried to play the song on instruments other than electric guitar; I found these two examples just recently; the first is a version on solo standup bass that has a sort of jazz feel to the performance; the second is played on an acoustic 12-string guitar and has an impressive rural blues tone, giving yet another example of the blues underpinnings of Hendrix's music...
