With only seven days left until Christmas Eve, and seven months ago it was the 17th of May, which is a big day in Norway. So what could be more fitting than choosing a song of the day with a little Norwegian connection?
The bonus track will be:
Ain’t talkin’ ’bout dub – Apollo 440
Why? Come along on this journey…
…December 17th, 2003, the final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy premieres worldwide…
…at that time, Peter Jackson was 42 years old…
…42 is also the famous answer to the question in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”…
…which was written by Douglas Adams…
…who, in addition to the aforementioned book (series) wrote episodes for both Dr. Who and Dr. Snuggles…
…and another famous doctor is Dr. Strange, who in recent films is played by none other than Benedict Cumberbatch…
…who also stars in the movie “Star Trek Into Darkness” directed by J.J. Abrams…
…who also co-wrote the screenplay for the movie “Armageddon”…
…which featured the song “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith…
…which was Van Halen’s gateway and inspiration in the music world when they started playing Aerosmith songs in suburban clubs in Los Angeles…
…Van Halen also wrote the song “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” which was sampled by Apollo 440 for today’s bonus track…
Boom – what a chain! 😉
Enjoy!
