  Video won’t load for me…but, “things exploding” and “music” together always make me think of the end of Zabriskie Point:

  For a moment I cringed, then I realized it was a mannequin hand.

  Finally got it to load…awesome–ground bloom flowers!

  Happy to live near a city where “safe and sane” fireworks are legal.

  Bummer. Not viewable on an iPad.

• [CarnyTrash]

  Specifically Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture Finale.

  God bless the Magnited States of America.

  Is there some better way to set up the flour so it explodes?

  Ah yes:

    Can you think of an even bigger flour explosion?

    Ah, yes:

      Yeah, that was the sort of thing that made me wonder if flour had been intentionally.

  Curiously, this slow mo explo compo takes a long time to load.

  Popsci.com should really get the credit on this one; here’s their original URL:

  Personally I love the drummer in this music – how much more out of time could he/she have been? It sounds just like my old school windband in which I used to play (but slightly less out of tune.)

  A floating, oozing mayo jar is always a good closer.
