Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From The Shining, composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind


For today’s song of the day, we have the title tune to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.  The Shining is a classic horror film and one that I look forward to revisiting on this site for our annual October Horrorthon.

For now, enjoy the greatest road trip music ever recorded.

Music Video of the Day: Mama, I’m Coming Home (1991, directed by Samuel Bayer)


This was actually the second video that was filmed for this song.  The first video was deliberately surreal and Ozzy felt that it didn’t represent what the song was about.  Samuel Bayer was selected to direct the second video on the basis of his direction of the video for Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Rest in peace, Ozzy.
