A to Z Challenge: Music from Favorite Films – “C” The Crow “Big Empty”

On By MischenkoIn A-Z Challenge, Movies, Music20 Comments

I’m joining in for the A to Z challenge this year which runs from April 1st to the 30th. My choice of theme is Music from Favorite Films. I’ll be sharing the songs in order of film title and will write a little bit about my thoughts on the movie as well.

My choice for “C” is The Crow. This is another favorite which came out during high school. Believe it or not, I loved the movie so much that I actually dressed up as Eric Draven for Halloween one year.

The Crow isn’t a movie for everyone; in fact, it’s very dark and quite violent, but it’s still a favorite today.

Last week I shared:

Imagine Dragons “Demons”

This week’s share: Twenty One Pilots

I’m incredibly in love with Twenty One Pilots’ new album Trench…so much so that I simply can’t choose only one song. Here are a few favorites, although the entire album is amazing.

“Chlorine”

I had a different post planned for this morning which shared some artwork, but due to mislocating the drawing, I had to quickly redo a music post for this morning. Here’s a favorite I’ve wanted to share for some time. Hope you enjoy. 🙂

From May 7th: When I first started this blog, one of my intentions was to talk about music as much as possible, hence my blog name. 🙂 My very first music blog post from March 2017 featured Mad Season, a band that eventually included Chris Cornell and the next, Temple of the Dog. It felt great to talk about some of the music I’ve always loved. Little did I know, just a few months later he’d be gone like so many others before him.

I’m not one of those people who usually count dates or add up the time since someone has been gone, yet here I am doing it with Chris. It’s been a year this month and I can’t believe the time has flown. For the whole month of May–to honor Chris–I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Chris Cornell songs.

On Friday, which marked one year since Chris’s passing, I shared “Live To Rise” by Soundgarden. If you’d like to see that post you can click here.

Audioslave “Show Me How To Live”

Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love

On By MischenkoIn Memoir, Music, ReadsLeave a comment

 

From Goodreads: A multi-textual memoir chronicling the life of one of our most potent pop icons.

Groundbreaking rock musician. Award-winning actress. Perceptive songwriter and author. Mother. Wife of a rock god. Fashionista and trendsetter. Provocateur. In each and every one of these roles Courtney Love has demonstrated a wholehearted commitment to her art, and an intense drive and a lust for life that have made her a star and a celebrity icon—but have also led her into some unwise, uncharted, and even dangerous territory. Simultaneously candid and enigmatic, Love has a mordant wit and vivid intelligence matched in intensity only by the extraordinary life she has led, from a bleak early childhood through great fame and terrible heartbreak to the present day. By turns exhilarating and unsettling, this is a story told for the first time in Dirty Blonde. Continue reading “Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love” →
