(if I spend a morning smoking cigarettes and listening to a song on repeat, then it goes on that year's playlist, no questions asked. This scenario applies to "Bette Davis Eyes.")

And now, a special treat for you... for your viewing and listening pleasure, the David-Lynch-brand-of-macabre video for "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden! (This video does not fall under this site's copyright pertaining to original material.)
