It's all of xxchange's favorite film scores, and the selection is amazing. They're all of my favorite songs that I thought no one else liked... These guys, like Mark Mothersbough, etc. are definite geniuses. It would be my dream job to score films. Dream on.
xxxchange - We Make It Good Series Vol. 4
Check out the tracklist with xxxchange comments and my own...
*1. Lattice of Coincidence/Acid intro (Repo Man 1984)*
*2. Kenny Rogers& the First Edition - Just Dropped in(to See What Condition My Condition Was in)*
featured prominently in 1998's "The Big Lebowsk," where the Choen brothers made a music video of sorts out of it.
[The perfect roadtrip song]
*3. Isaac Hayes -Three Tough Guys (End Theme)*
"Three Tough Guys Original" Soundtrack (1974)
*4. Henry Mancini- Police Woman (theme)*
This is the theme music for a television show of the same name which aired from 1974-1978 and later inspired the hit show "Charlie's Angels"
[Just got a set of Mancini's TV themes & 60s pop hits. "Sanford & Son" definitely wins.]
*5. The Rolling Stones- Gimmie Shelter*
Usually featured at least once in every Martin Scorcese movie ever made, as many as three times in "the Departed?" (2006)
*6. Ben Charest - Bellville Rendezvous*
this is the main theme for "les Triplettes of Bellville" (2003) one of my personal favorite movies as the two main themes are A.Music created with household objects and B.Cycling
[I think Triplettes of Bellville and Wall-E have the same appeal in their small dialogue scripts]
*7. Tangerine Dream - Love on a Real Train*
Most memorably featured in 1983's "Risky Business" but also appeared recently in "the Squid and the Whale"(2005)
*8. (reprise) London Symphony Orchestra - Gimmie Shelter*
*9. Harry Belafonte - "Day-o"*
featured along with another excellent Belafonte cut "Jump in the Line" in Tim Burton's "BeetleJuice" (1988)
[When I was in the Miss Preteen Arkansas pageant (seriously), we had to a dance to this song. Ask me about it sometime and I'll show you.]
*10. Daniel Johnston- Mountain Dew*
From the 2005 documentary "The Devil In Daniel Johnston"
[Great movie... hilarious promo]
*11. Mohammed Rafi - Jaan Pehechan-Ho*
from the classic 1966 Bollywood musical "Gumnaam," also featured with this footage from the original movie in the opening sequence of "Ghost World" in 2001.
[This was my THEME when 'Ghost World' came out. Apparently no one has any idea who the band is.]
*12. George Baker - Little Green Bag*
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
*13. The Plugz - El Clavo y la Cruz*
Repo Man (1984)
*14. John Wayne interlude (Repo Man 1984)*
["John Wayne was a FAG"... "That doesn't mean he was a homo, a lotta straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck."]
*15. Curtis Mayfield - "Short Eyes/ Free Free Free"*
"Short Eyes" Original Soundtrack (1977)
*16. "Blush Response" Interlude (Bladerunner 1982)*
*17. Peter Gabriel " In Your Eyes"*
Prominently featured in 1989's "Say Anything," where John Cusak plays this song for some lady, then later, does sex to her in the back of a car.
[what does 'does sex to her' mean? This song always reminds me of Toto]
*18. Vangelis - Blush Response *
Bladerunner original soundtrack (1982)
*19. Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme*
Originally Composed by Mr. Hammer for the tv series "Miami Vice" in 1987
*20. Air - Alone in Kyoto*
I suspect this was actually composed for the 2003 Sofia Coppola film "Lost in Translation," then later released on their 2004 "Talkie Walkie" LP. been wrong before though!
[Not sure about 'Lost in Translation'... the song is a bit out of place on "Talkie Walkie."]
*21. "Bill Murray" interlude*
(coffee and cigarettes)
*22. The GreeneHornes ft. Holly Golightly - There is an End*
I felt obligated to include at least one song from a Jim Jarmush Movie on this mix. "I Put a Spell On You" (stranger than Paradise) seemed like it might be too obvious so I chose, instead this wonderful song from "Broken Flowers" (2005)
