Happy Hump Day! From now until July 11th, I’m taking over for Don Durito, spinning tunes and serving drinks for everyone’s entertainment.
Once again, my selections for this week’s diary have been inspired by my love of movie music and awards shows. I chose the music from “Black Panther” because Monday was the MTV Movie & TV Awards and next Wednesday will be the Saturn Awards. “Black Panther” was the big movie winner at the MTV Awards and could be the big winner next week at the Saturn Awards, where it is nominated for its music along with thirteen other nominations, more than any other movie.
Here are the two songs I think could earn a Grammy and/or Oscar nomination next year. Both of them are by Kendrick Lamar with other artists. First, Kendrick Lamar, SZA – All The Stars.
That’s a very good video with imagery inspired by the movie, but for actual scenes from “Black Panther,” watch The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar – Pray For Me (Lyric Video).
I plan on posting selections from the instrumental soundtrack 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 those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
