This makes me happy. Charlie Brown, ZZ Top and some bang-up video editing. In case you’re in need of a little pick-me-up.

A description of this video, “man throws a tire off a sand dune” sounds so innocuously boring that you wonder why anyone would make it, let alone watch it.  Then I watched it.  Several times.  One of the most strangely soothing, oddly satisfying things I’ve seen in a long time.  No words, no filler, just roll. Set to music.  Reminds me of the random stuff you used to find on the Internet of years gone by.

If you haven’t heard of Playing for Change and their Songs Around the World you owe it to yourself to check it out.  They basically ask musicians from all over the world to play a song on their respective instruments, then edit it together into something that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.  You can find dozens of their songs on the YouTube or the Playing for Change website.  This is one of my favorites, The Weight by The Band, featuring Robbie Robertson himself.  In the key of F-demented, if you’d like to play along.
