No. It was the idea initially to relate musical tracks to written segments for maybe a couple reasons, but primarily it was because this thread also serves as a musical playlist. The appended musical track would be the metaphorical "cherry on top", so a bit of care was taken to post music that I would actually want to listen to, but of course coordinating music with literature the choices become somewhat narrowed, and on occasion I'm posting mediocre music because it ties in better with the writing like my last post. With the "lunacy" theme it was either "Dark Lunacy", Lunatic Fringe (Red Rider), or maybe Brain Damaged ("the lunatic is on the grass" – Pink Floyd), so Dark Lunacy wins by a slight margin.
Back around the early 2000s I was into a lot of high-end home audio and having a few drinks and blasting the music a couple times a week. I remember one time a friend made an observation that I had sent my neighbors in the house early from their wine and dine on the patio when I blasted 2001 a Space Odyssey, but that was actually quite civil in comparison to some of the other stuff I was forcefully sharing.
I think it was around 2015 when I started getting away from home audio and more into computer audio with these Klipsch multimedia speakers that I paid around $200 for from Best Buy. The music sounded pretty good and was comparable, so I ultimately made a complete transition and to this day that's pretty much all I listen to except when I'm in the car.
I think lately though it's been a little more writing and graphics and less music – some shit just starts getting a little old after a while I guess.
Music and muscle cars remains an avid affair, and to end it right here and relate a musical piece about driving off the top of my head most I think of I wouldn't bother posting, but a best choice I suppose would be this, and let's not be naive, anyone that knows Judas Priest can guess what this guy is riding, and it ain't "the wind"...
