Well hello all! Another weekly post has arrived! Apologies for the lateness of this one… I dozed off for a while earlier, and when I awoke I became thoroughly engrossed in the movie CRIMSON PEAK… Wow, was that good! Story and cast were both excellent, and Del Toro didn’t go overboard with the SFX… I expected, having seen THE STRAIN and even BLADE 2, that it might be over gory, over spirity, but it wasn’t… the ghost were gruesome and scary, but not ludicrous, and the set design was a great balance of beauty and despair… It was tense and creepy and really just an excellent Gothic thriller… If you haven’t seen it, definitely give it a shot.
So, I’ve been doing this song-a-day feature on my Facebook page… Each day you choose a song based on a particular guideline, such as a song that makes you happy or a song that reminds you of a person or event, and you share a YouTube video of said song.
I’ve been doing it for 11 days so far, and I must say it is a lot of fun to choose the songs. Here’s the list so far:
Day 1: Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress/ The Hollies
Day 2: 50 Ways to Leave your Lover/ Paul Simon
Day 3: Your Love/ the Outfield
Day 4: Karma Chameleon/ Culture Club
Day 5: Humans Being/ Van Halen
Day 6: Sway/ Pussycat Dolls
Day 7: Drive/ The Cars
Day 8: Got to Get You Into My Life/ The Beatles
Day 9: We Just Wanna Party/ Jermaine Dupri, featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg
Day 10: Different Corner/ George Michael
Day 11: Moonglow-Theme from PICNIC
I’ll keep adding to it as each day progresses so you can check out my choices. As soon as this round is done, I have a 60-day one to start with entirely different songs… I can’t wait!!!
And so that’s all for this week… Have a great weekend everyone!!! 🙂
