The mighty Sir Tom Jones performs for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series yesterday on his 81st birthday.
Tom sings Bob Dylan’s ‘One More Cup of Coffee’, Malvina Reynolds’ folk tune ‘There’s No Hole In My Head’, and composer Bobby Cole’s ‘I’m Getting Old’, which was presented to him at the age of 33 but he only performs now he feels he has sufficient miles on the clock.
Eighty-one.
A recently-released-in-its-entirety 2006 session featuring five songs from ‘Get Behind Me Satan’ by the White Stripes (plus one Captain Beefheart cover) performed for the UK music show From The Basement.
A jaunty, socially distanced rendition of Leroy Anderson’s ‘Plink, Plank Plunk!’ (composed largely of plucked stringed instruments) by members of the Chicago Sinfonietta.
A very pleasing performance on the sansula – a modern version of the traditional African mbira – by percussionist Conny Sommer.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s feelz-laden Oscar ceremony performance gets the Bad Lip Reading treatment.

The charming Melody Yang of the Gazillion Bubbles Show explains the science and stories of her career as a ‘bubble engineer’ which is so a real thing.
349 by filmmaker and artist Kirsten Lauth Shaeffer – a stop motion animation based on a dance performance composed of synchronised hand drawn frames by over 300 individuals.
A moving underwater dance performance by French writer, dancer and director Julie Gaultier. She sez of it:
Ama is a silent film. It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions. I wanted to share my biggest pain in this life with this film. For this is not too crude, I covered it with grace. To make it not too heavy, I plunged it into the water. I dedicate this film to all the women of the world
