Just ran across this video, it’s kind of dance music, but the theme and the video is very “spaghetti Western” like, which I for some reason kind of like! =^_^=
The artist is David Guetta, and I’m going to be looking for more of his work.
Enjoy!

Romance along the Tidal Basin
A couple who were waiting for their photographer, caught in a moment all to themselves. I hope they have a long and happy life together.
D-Day, 6 June, 70 years later
On the 70th anniversary of the Normandy invasion of D-Day, the 6th of June 1944, I went to the WWII Memorial in downtown DC to get a few photos. I had missed the commemoration ceremony that morning, but I did see the wreaths laid at the Freedom Wall, one from each Allied nation that fought in WWII, and had died on the beaches of France that day. I love the WWII memorial, for its subtle and no-nonsense tribute to a straightforward, no-nonsense generation that fought and destroyed the militaristic and totalitarian dreams of conquest, at a terrible cost. For their sacrifice we can’t give enough thanks, and it’s good that we can honor them while many are still with us. Their remaining time with us is now far too short, and I wish that anyone who knows a WWII veteran will take time to thank them.
Dubstep pop-and-lock dancers, “Robot Boys”
Once again, the Dutch pop-and-lock dancers Nick and Jeppe have another catchy robot-themed dance video, where they’re joined by “Poppin John”, another dancer in a routine set to the music composed by Nick and Jeppe. If you’re into this kind of music and dance, this will be the kind of performance you’ll like. If you’ve never heard or seen it before, give it a shot.
Enjoy!
Nerdtour 2012 flashback: Brilliant fountains of Yoyogi Park
In the middle of Yoyogi Park there’s a small lake with two fountains. During the day they alternate how high they shoot up, but at night they are both lit from below by constantly changing colored lights, which create fantastic displays of light and motion.

Anime music: “Witch Hunter Robin” opening and closing themes
So, in honor of “Throwback Thursday”, I present the opening and closing themes to one of my favorite anime from a few years back (12!), “Witch Hunter Robin”. The opening theme is called “Shell”:
and the closing theme is “Half Pain”, both songs by “Bana”:
Very moody and evocative, much like the anime.
Here is an excellent review of the anime, or you can always hit Wikipedia.
