Wednesday is my usual catching up day.
Day 3: 3rd Album
The 3rd soundtrack from Trent Reznor And Atticus Ross after their Oscar winning Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Using old images below, but this was my first copy that needed some time in the vinyl flat. Was "baking" for about a day or so then I turned it off and forgot about it until now, so it's been in the vinyl flat for almost 2 months.
Plays fine so far...it may make an appearance on the PIF thread whenever I start doing that more regularly with my doubles.

Day 5
Neil Armstrong's birthday
Jupiter or Thor is perfect. We need Atlas for our long-distance stuff. The Titan will be even better. They shouldn't have cancelled Navaho. Wait till you see our submarines with Polaris. "Attention, all personnel, this is CBTS, phase vehicle pre-count operation will start on my mark in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
Music From The Adventures Of Pete and Pete ~ Polaris

Day 4: Sweet
I really didn't like the movie when I first watched it. It's grown on me a bit, but still not up there with some other recent zombie movies.
This S/T is pretty good, tho.

August 6 - "Thor's Day" - Play an album evocative of lightning, thunder, hammers, or Chris Hemsworth.
At my age, I don't always enjoy lightning, but when I do, I prefer it lazy.

Day 6 - Thor
Björk - Homogenic
Thor makes me think of Vikings, Vikings lead to Iceland, and then this album, my favourite of hers and for me the most Icelandic. I loved reading that she wanted to make this a mix of very modern (electronic beats) and very old and natural (strings), just like she thought Iceland was.

Duke Ellington And His Orchestra – Such Sweet Thunder (CBS, 1989 Mono Pressing)
Perhaps not as thunderous or badass as Thor would like, but a fitting title all the same.

DAY 4
SWEET
Lemon Demon - Spirit Phone
It seems I've resigned myself to spinning this at some point in every challenge thread now. Using it for this theme largely because of the name of the variant I own, "candy cadaver" that derives its name from the song on the album "Sweet Bod" which is a fun, funky upbeat jam about the medicinal benefits of eating human remains covered in honey!

Day 5: Outer space
Murder by Death - The Outer Shore
A concept album about a dude who leaves the planet...I think. Also has a tune just called "Space", and closes with "Last Night on Earth."

Day 6: Thors Day
Seeing these guys play Lightning Strikes The Postman back on the Yoshimi tour is a memory that's stuck with me. Adding strobelights and megaphones to the usual sensory overload of a Flaming Lips show put it over the top.
