#FortnightFridayMusic
Dec 29 2023
The prompt is #ZigZag
Death Cab for Cutie, “Kintsugi” 2015

Man, am I having trouble with this end of the alphabet. (Just when I thought I'd be able to start at the beginning again, I see our host and facilitator @MarkIngs has plagued us with one hashtag starting at Z for 2024. The nerve!)

So I went with the visual again, picking this one for its zigzag cover art. I’m not deeply knowledgeable about #DeathCabForCutie
but I regard it as #BenGibbard’s project at this point. Gibbard continues to mine the #IndieRock vein, somehow managing to sound fresh and cut through the glut of bells, whistles, and gizmos (with no slight meant to
his #glitch #electronic project, #ThePostalService, itself a lean affair) available to our ears, seasoning earnest songs and basic instrumentation with unexpected tempos and bits of ear candy. My favorite track on this one is probably “You’ve Haunted Me All My Life” because it’s, well…haunting.

@MarkIngs took us on a journey of #FortnightFridayMusic and #AlternateFridayMusic prompts this past year. I never quite knew which Friday hashtag we were on but I think I got it right most of the time.

The prompt is #ZigZag for today and I was surprised that there were a number of songs. I liked the following best of all.

We’ve been zig zagging our way between FortnightFridayMusic and AlternateFridayMusic all year and tonight #FortnightFridayMusic’s theme is Zig Zag

The term’s used in an iconic line from the intro to Pink Floyd’s album Animals

Song: Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)
Band: Pink Floyd
Album: Animals
Released: 1977
Video: youtu.be/q60mi1jJcbo?si=Y9PtC9

Lyrics
“If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing”

Blue Lightning Zig Zag Blue and Orange Pattern @brentpruitt

i like the vibrant colors in this #zigzag #pattern

i hoped to play with an idea of rushing water — filled with thousands of zippy goldfish? or one gigantic?

the contrast, for me, evokes a bit of the southwestern US desert canyon-river vibe — but much much cooler.

the pic of the cat and dog in front of two FULL food bowls is sooo unrealistic, but i couldn't resist including it for that reason… 😹🍽
