Digital television brings us an additional channel with KERA, our local PBS station. The second channel carries programming from PBS World.
Great stuff, lots of repeats of the science shows, convenient rebroadcasts of The Newshour. And promos with interesting music. One promo features a twisting camera with odd angles on two people doing twists on a trampoline. It looks like they are bungee jumping at first. It’s got good music that qualifies as earworm stuff, ending with the vocal line, “It’s looking like a beautiful day.”
Finally took the time to track it down. Elbow is the band, “One Day Like This” is the song. Live version with the BBC Concert Orchestra and a choir called Chantage, below. Obviously I’m not the only one who likes the performance.
How did we ever do this stuff before the internet?
