Links and micro-summaries from my 1000+ daily headlines. I filter them so you don't have to.

For a change of pace - I'm including 4 Steem links in a single post this time. Steem's musicians really showed up with some great recordings in the last couple of days. I'd like to embed all 4, but I forced myself to pick one. Make sure you remember to click through and upvote, though.

5. Six of the best sci-fi movie soundtracks - This post has descriptions and youtube embeds of six of the best soundtracks from science fiction movies. The list includes: Things to Come (1936: Arthur Bliss); The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951: Bernard Herrmann); Solaris (1972: music by Eduard Artemyev); Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977: John Williams); Alien (1979: Jerry Goldsmith); Under the Skin (2013: Mica Levi). The only two I had heard before were Close Encounters and Alien.


6. Watch Freddie Mercury Sing 'Time Waits for No One' In a Previously Unreleased Video - This article includes an embedded youtube video of a previously unreleased recording of Freddie Mercury singing, Time Waits for Nobody. Described as shy, gentle, and kind, Mercury recorded this video in 1986 at the Abbey Road studios for a Dave Clark (of the Dave Clark Five) project called Time. Clark remembered the recording and was able to track it down in the spring of 2018.
