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...
Reznor kind of creeps me out, but on the other hand, he’s kind of hot. Just not in this video.
He’s definitely not his best looking in the video for this song.
