Song of the Day: Time by Hans Zimmer
Today’s song of the day is a reminder to set your clocks if you haven’t done so already. We lost an hour this weekend and who knows if we’ll ever get it back.
Here is Hans Zimmer’s beautiful Time, from the Inception soundtrack.

As I’ve mentioned on this site before, I was introduced to the music of Adi Ulmansky by my best friend, Evelyn, and she quickly became one of my favorite artists. This is an acoustic version of ADI’s song, Bombs Away, which was filmed for and by Tel Aviv TV.

Song of the Day: East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed
Hey, it’s Hal Needham’s birthday. What other song could we go with?
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal
Son, never mind them brakes
Let it all hang out ’cause we got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta
And there’s beer in Texarkana
And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Ol’ Smokey’s got them ears on
He’s hot on your trail
And he aint gonna rest ’til you’re in jail
So you got to dodge ‘im and you got to duck ‘im
You got to keep that diesel truckin’
Just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run

Scene That I Love: The Flying Motorcycle From Megaforce
Today’s scene that I love comes from director Hal Needham. It really doesn’t get more early 80s than Barry Bostwick flying a motorcycle while wearing a headband and a skintight suit.

Today is Alamo Day. It was 189 years ago, today, that 600 men gave their lives in the name of Texas. Today’s music video of the day is all about celebrating the bravery of those men. And no, I don’t want to hear your revisionist thinking. This is our day.
