One-year countdown thread!

^ According to my room-mate Iggy Pop covered that song. I cannot find it though.

He may be confusing that song with the Iggy & the Stooges cover of "Money (That's What I Want)"

Wow, M'Sharak. You probably over-extended yourself working on that mystery. Thank you, though.

Actually, the confusion was over mistaking it for "Get the Money" by Iggy Pop.

Thank's again for going beyond the call of duty for your forums.

In a rush. Regular service will resume tomorrow.

Have a 2-minutes-in-photoshop logo I made earlier instead, to see what the name of the new film looks like in the Trek font:

Not bad.

'49, eh? This may be where it really gets tough...

I don't believe my luck. I had no idea this song dated back so far.

No. 6 for 1949.

I'm not sure how this thread works, but I think this song is nice considering 9/11 just passed:

^Technically, we're posting music videos of songs which correlate to the current day in the Countdown to Star Trek Into Darkness. It began as a way of creating playlists for Countdown Celebration Milestones. e.g. 1/4, 2/4, 1/2, 3/4 of the way there.

Today is the 247th day left until the premiere. Today, anything of musical interest for you from 1947 would be fair game. Tomorrow, 1946 - etc, etc. Reset to present @ 1912.

Don't know or cannot find anything musical from today's featured year? No problem. Just call 'going off year' and post whatever you want!

Written in 1947:

I know one from this year! (and will be humming it, horribly out of season, for the next week)
[YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbb3skLR0Bo[/YT]

Yeah, songs from the year, or something relevent to the day (like your 9/11 one, S/U Fan, or my Trek anniversary ones), or what whatever takes your fancy.

Using my phone so no video today. Usual service will resume tomorrow!

In a Trekkie thing, 1944 was the year Captain Archer found himself in, in ENT's "Storm Front" two parter. Albeit an alternate 1944. With alien nazis.
