This week’s ambiguous Projekt 52 topic is “On the head” – and since I didn’t have a good new idea, I’m once again taking an archive photo:

Driving The Last Spike
A random music baton I found at Yuki Keylin’s…
RULES:
- Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
- For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
- YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
- Tag whoever you want including me.
- Title this note with the name of the last song in the sequence.
Now lets see which “answers” I’m getting…
- If someone asks ‘are you okay’ you say…?
Mission Impossible Theme (Metallica) - How would you describe yourself?
oh oh…: Bobby Brown (Frank Zappa) - What do you dream about?
Mozart’s 40th symphony - How do you feel today?
Gallows Pole (Led Zeppelin) – Disclaimer: No, I’m not thinking about suicide. - What do you look for in a guy/girl?
Lo que hago pro ti (Fatal Error) = “What I do for you”, if the automatic translation’s right - What is your life’s purpose?
Restless (Within Temptation) - What’s your motto?
The Oath (Manowar) - What do your friends think of you?
Over And Done (Deine Lakaien) - What do your parents think of you?
My Velvet Little Darkness (Lacrimas Profundere) – erm, I really doubt that - What do you think about very often?
Your Fight (Skunk Anansie) - What do you think about your first kiss?
She’s My Winona (Fall Out Boy) – oops, that wasn’t her name… - What do you think of your best friend?
Dark Wings (Within Temptation) - What is your life story?
The Loser In The End (Queen) – veeery funny, my dear random number generator - What do you want to be when you grow up?
Uterus (Das Ich) – I’m really glad that I’m already grown up now…
Aaaah yes. Good that such a random list doesn’t influence reality in any way (even if there surely are some mysticism fanatics who’d believe that).

The B-sides of the Day (17.3.)
Time for the next part in this little series about the B-sides of Queen singles – like last time two songs, but from the same release:
On 17 March 1986, the single “A Kind of Magic” from the album of the same name, the unofficial soundtrack album for the movie Highlander, was released. Europe got “A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling” as B-side, an instrumental version of “Don’t Lose Your Head”:
This disco experimental track was a joke to not lose your head in battle, in co ordinance with the Highlander movie.
In the USA, however, “Gimme The Prize” (Kurgan’s Theme) was included, one of Queen’s heaviest works, of course written by Brian May; neither director Russell Mulcahy nor Freddie Mercury and John Deacon are said to have liked this song much.
» “A Kind of Magic” – official video, album/single version
» “A Kind of Magic” – Highlander version (during the credits)1
» “A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling” – fan video
» “Don’t Lose Your Head” – fan video
» “Gimme The Prize” – fan video
And thanks a lot to 
David R. Fuller for all these fan videos and rarities!
- which I actually prefer, it isn’t that “pop-ishly styled” throughout yet ↺
