Some weekend viewing [and listening]
The Observer Review rounds-up 50 cultural highlights and curiosities available on YouTube. And if Film by Samuel Beckett, directed by Alan Schneider and starring silent movie legend Buster Keaton, isn’t to your taste [part 2 here and the final part], try some of the others – Dinah&Ella, or Aretha Franklin, maybe Martin Scorsese on Mean Streets or, perhaps, William Burroughs.. Or even Vladimir Nabokov on Lolita. There’s much more in the collected links to spend a Sunday afternoon watching. Enjoy. Adds A ‘young fella’ in the comment zone points to the uninterrupted version of Film online.
And, because I can, here are a couple of others. I’ll just link back to the video of Johnny Cash. And repost Mr Jagger et al.

Thanks for that, young fella!
Thanks Pete…..see you next Wednesday after watching these, which don’t include the four following artistic masterpieces:
Carlos Alberto
Barry John
Ysgol Glanaethwy>
Only Men Aloud – Danny Boy>
Last one fab..
Take your time, Dewi. ;o)
Btw, were those links your cultural highlights.. or curiosities?
Just astonished they were left out of the artistic highlights of the last 40 years….or this weekend….Last Choir Standing – or last two choirs standing…..
Curiosities then, Dewi.
Highlights to me Pete – but no big deal – if it ain’t too late for people to buy the paper there’s a great CD of the best of British comedy with today’s Observer…..worth the cover price on its own.
I’ll buy culturally significant to you, Dewi.
But highlights?
2 Kwl 4 Skwl You ain’t supposed to be able to cover the Beatles but this girl is so cool (Completely off topic – neither a highlight nor a curiosity…)
Working my way through these – Bob D and Joan superb – however this is best:
Does anyone have an E harmonica? Wonderful – time and place.
There’s lots of good stuff in there, Dewi.
Thanks Pete – it’s only Monday – I’m half way through.
the best Billie Holliday
b4 I watch the rest I have to watch Billie above a number of times – totally wonderful.
Forgive me for not proceeding – ain’t Billie totally superb.
Next….
Finished – thanks Pete
