Songs of the Month

Image
       There are books of the month clubs, flowers of the month, etc. so why not songs of the month? Besides, I did hours and days of the week, so this seemed the natural continuation. You can go through all the months in one day here:  Songs of the Month - YouTube

Danger Girl movie with Charlize Theron

Image
       Danger Girl was a comic created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell for Image Comics. It debuted in 1996 and the intention was to make a comic that felt like an action movie. Instead of the comic credits being on the first page, they appear after a prelude to the story as a two-page spread designed to look like the opening credits of a James Bond movie. One of the characters is even drawn as Sean Connery. When the Avengers cast Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, it was because that was how the character was drawn in the Marvel comic "The Ultimates". The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen  was a movie based on a comic that made Connery quit acting. What if he did a different comic book movie? Would he continue acting? Who knows?      Although the head on the cover is Charlize Theron the body is of a cosplayer named Becky that was photographed by Michael Rodriguez at San Diego Comic Con.

Songs for Every Day of the Week

       I had planned on posting this last week but hadn't put it in my weekly planner so I accidently posted The Munsters first so now is the time songs about days of the week. Since I wanted to have more than seven songs, I have one song for each day of the week AND songs that mention more than one day of the week. I start with "I Don't Like Mondays" from The Boomtown Rats, it is not based on a Garfield quote but something much more serious. In fact, if you want to just enjoy the song, don't research its origin. Tori Amos, who get did Wednesday's song "Wednesday", also recorded a cover of "I Don't Like Mondays". I end the week with Queen's "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" which seemed fair since I had The Kinks singing about "lazing on SUNNY afternoon" on my last song collection. The Stone Temple Pilots, The Beatles and the Electric Light Orchestra all sings about days of the week, even if they skip a day or two. ...
