- Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye are “Maddie & Tae” and that’s something you should know because their tune ‘Girl in a Country Song’ hit No. 1 by mocking bro country. And the bros aren’t laughing. You can watch their fantastic video at the end of this list. Excuse me while I go buy their tune. {props to Melody Hensley and Smashley}

One minute time-lapse video of the total cloud inversion that filled Grand Canyon on Thursday, December 11, 2014. There is no audio track.
The action that takes place in this 1 minute video would take 15 minutes in real time. In some ways it looks like ocean tides coming in and going out. NPS Video by Michael Quinn.

This is here simply because it’s an extraordinary bit of animation and easily one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing things I’ve seen in quite some time. The 23-year-old Hungarian animator Balázs Simon heard the Nils Frahm’s piece “Re” and was compelled to create a video for it.
