[Advent Drama Calendar 2020] Day 23: Which drama had the best soundtrack?

Impossible to chose just one. Many dramas had one or two, or twelve pieces I liked, so I'll present just a sample.

Album Cover Part 3


In this episode - album covers featuring nature. I know, there are lots of those, so I had to do a harsh selection. In addition to first post rules, this one also doesn't feature: humans, Deep Forest albums and SHINee. Why SHINee you may ask? Well, they ARE the natural marvel, so...

Album Cover Part 1


I am starting new series of posts. Me, being me, they will not be a regular thing, most likely. Although I will do my best to keep it regular and around Friday. But you know, work, real life, and tons of hobbies prevent me from not only streaming 24/7 but also participating in online encounters. Each post will contain only 5 album covers.

Throwback Thursday Part 53


Today's Throwback Thursday is to the year 1980.
Because I say so.

Throwback Thursday Part 52


Since today, as Twitter has taught me, is World Book Day, this time Throwback Thursday is to the songs inspired by books. Or short stories because Kim Jonghyeon.

Throwback Thursday Part 40


On this day in 1969 humanity witnessed the first ever Moon Landing: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from Apollo 11, with Michael Collins left above. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday is to the Moon. Not moonlight but Moon.

Throwback Thursday Part 36


On this day in 1342 (according to Shire Reckoning) Bilbo Baggins returned to his home at Bag End, but today's Throwback Thursday is not to the Middle Earth. It is to the theme of travel, visiting places and so on.
Because, as the poet once said:
Let us wander where we will,
Something kindred greets us still;
Something seen on vale or hill
Falls familiar on the heart;
So, at scent or sound or sight,
Severed souls by day and night
Tremble with the same delight -
Tremble, half the world apart.
(R.L. Stevenson, Swallows Travel To and Fro)
Today's music is very world music.

Throwback Thursday Part 32

 
On May 25th, in 2008, SHINee debuted. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday takes us back to some of their songs that spell the name.
This day also went down in history as First Steps of Gods Day.

Throwback Thursday Part 25


Today's Throwback Thursday takes us to the March 30th, 1891, when British Steamer "Utopia" sank off Gibraltar killing 574.
Because that's what utopias usually do. 
The antithesis of utopia, in the common understanding, is dystopia. I'd argue that the latter is rather a mirror image, distorted whenever possible, but it's not the complete opposite. It's probably almost the same ontic entity but with one tiny molecule of some quality more. It's not another quality. It's like chocolate. One may dream a world of chocolate to live in. But after some time within a world like this, having nothing more to eat or drink, not seeing anything else but chocolate flowers, one might shoot themselves between the eyes.

Throwback Thursday Part 23

 
"I have one aim—the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing."
On this day, in 1898, died Aubrey Vincent Beardsley.
Today's Throwback Thursday is inspired by his work. Because he was  inspired by Michelangelo. Bless him.

Throwback Thursday Part 22


Today's Throwback Thursday is to 1891 when a Great Blizzard in England killed 200 people and 6000 animals. And lasted for 4 days.
That's why today's motif is - snow. Granted, there's this one song I won't be putting here.

Throwback Thursday Part 21

Books and lilacs. Two lovely things. Also Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley.

Since today is World Book Day, Throwback Thursday is to the book inspirations in music. When I was drawing up a list, I came up with over 70 songs that had any references to books, so I had to cut the list short.
And no, no Iron Maiden here, because they made references to every most of the classic books.
I was trying to find anything based on the Faust, but except for Muse and one song I couldn't remember the artist of, I had to give up.

Throwback Thursday Ep 02


This one is sponsored by the letter R like in "R'n'B". I hope there won't be much fuss about that.
Some throwback to the times when Drake and Jay-Z weren't considered R'n'B artists. Because, seriously?
More under the cut.

Throwback Thursday Ep 01


Why not a new tradition (however weird that sounds)? I will try to go down the memory lane every Thursday and present a handful of MVs from the yore and yonder. 
Maybe...

April Music


A handful of music gathered the last month.
Some of those are older though, I simply had no time to write a post.

Immortal Song 2 - Ryeowook


He did not win, but I'm more than happy to see him on IS2 again! The rumor has it - he wanted to be back. They sang the songs of Kim Gwangseok today.
The cut is below.

January music


Some of these songs are ballads, so be warned. But actually it's a mix of folk, indie, rock, and R'n'B.
Not much, only a handful.
