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.
Chuck Mangione, RIP.
Today’s song of the day comes from Lalo Schifrin’s score for 1968’s Bullitt. This piece of music comes from the film’s classic and trendsetting car chase.
Since today is Raymond Chandler’s birthday, it seems appropriate that our song of the day should come from the best of the Philip Marlowe films.
Today’s song of the day comes the 1967 winner for Best Picture, Norman Jewison’s In The Heat of the Night.
Oh, how I love this song!
The mystery of space is coming to you!
RIP, lyricist Alan Bermgan.
For today’s song of the day, we’ve got David Hasselhoff covering Iggy Pop and appearing to have an existential crisis. Sing it, Hoff!
This is a song that I first heard when I first watched Palo Alto.
Ever since then, it’s a song that has randomly popped into my head at certain times, usually whenever I’m possessed by the melancholy spirit that always seems to follow me around this time of year. It’s a song that always makes me feel better, despite what happened in Palo Alto.
It was one year ago today that my Dad went into hospice care. Every day, from now through August 19th, is going to be a painful anniversary. My Dad loved music and that’s something that I inherited from him. The song below helped me get through a lot, both when my mom passed and now, with my Dad.
I miss you, Dad.
