how strange, how strange

I spent the first several minutes of this video trying to determine if there was a problem with my browser, or if the video aspect was really supposed to be nearly 3:1, with parts of people's heads cropped out of view. It seems to be that way on purpose, like a wide screen movie.

I wonder what these round cylindrical fibrous things on the top of the cliff are:

Of the 2 videos by that band which I've watched (there's also this one with motorcyles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM8dCGIm6yc ), I'm not sure how I feel about their lyrics. Taken one way, they're cool in a "don't mess with me" kind of way. Taken another way, I'm not sure.


This video has throat-singing *and* bagpipes:

I suppose that drone-mounted cameras make these kind of videos easier to film these days. I wonder how they did it in the old days... helicopters, hang gliders, small aircraft?

Vegan Bagpipes - oh yay, there is such a thing. Maybe... or maybe just a non-hide drum... boom boom, boom boom...

When I was in Edinburgh, they even had vegan haggis in a tourist shop. Then again, I can't imagine that traditional haggis is in very high demand among tourists.

That bagpipe page is fascinating! If you do take it up, though, be careful about fungus getting into the pipes. https://www.livescience.com/55842-bagpipe-lung-hypersensitivity-pneumonitis.html

I had the same reaction to The Hu: I thought it was interesting but the lyrics didn't leave me wanting to watch more.
I don't think shots like that used to be a thing, until drones got popular.

Have you seen their video for their song "Wolf Totem"?

Edit: Just read the above article, and it was an interesting take. I'll probably keep listening to their stuff, because the music itself is amazing, and keep an eye out for crossing the line between "hey, why aren't things better" and "we should be #1 and everyone else can suffer."

I think people used to use small aircraft for shots like those. Even as recently as Planet Earth, they had some making-of videos involving two-person craft and cameras on gimbals. Fascinating stuff.
