12 of 12, December 2015 edition

Meme, , , ,

My 48th “12 of 12.” A Saturday. Also known as my “Friday”.

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, but passed the torch to someone else who sadly hasn’t been keeping up with it. So as always, I’m giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who inspired me to do it. And still does.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6.

And off to bed I go. Hopefully I can shake whatever it is that’s been creeping up on me the last few days.

Hi-Fi Friday: December 11, 2015

Audiophallic,

Blobby got the theme pick this month, so he threw out some choices, and I kind of steered him in a direction. And that direction would be songs released on soundtracks, and as Blobby stated: “music that appears / appeared initially on soundtracks. not cast offs from other albums that ended up on a soundtrack.” I think I can manage this one. At least better than last month’s.

David Lynch. People either love him or hate him. I’m a late lover. Or a lover late to the scene. Most people know him because of his films and television shows. I know him originally from his paintings. Did you know he was a painter?

But hey, this is about music. And while I’ve not seen the 1997 movie Lost Highway (yet), I do love the soundtrack. And one of the songs is Nine Inch Nails’ “The Perfect Drug”. And oddly enough, lead singer Trent Reznor is not a fan of this song. And the band has never played live to this point.

I like it, so that’s all that matters. And bonus points for creepy video.

Even if the lyrics are a little lacking, it has a good “feel”.

Until next time...
Erik

And… finally started the tile today. You think I’d be used to being on my knees that much. 😉
