Happy Hump Day! Once again, I’m filling in for Don Durito. I’m continuing my theme of music from movies this week with three songs by Shriekback from the original Hannibal Lecter movie, “Manhunter” from 1986. I begin with my favorite song from the soundtrack, “This Big Hush.”
My next favorite is “Coelocanth,” which I posted on my personal blog five years ago as “Song for a living fossil.” Here it is in context, as the background for the tiger scence in “Manhunter.” The song begins about 0:40. The scene is both beautiful and creepy.

The final song is “Evaporation.” This is the original version; the upload of the movie version has less than ideal sound quality. I might embed it in the comments.
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With these instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
