For Halloween or Christmas. Or any other time of year.
I already knew a lot of the 80s music from Stranger Things. I should listen to TD's 80s albums.
I love how calming Zappa's song is, even if it isn't his usual style. Epic guitar solo
Continuing my voyage discovering the 80s, the series has 80s music in abundance. Or you can cheat and just go through the list. I'll have things to say about the show in my TV watched in 2016 post.
Mother Sky by Can / Deep End (1970)
You can understand the young man's infatuation with his co-worker Susan (Jane Asher). Hilarious when he walks around in public with the cardboard cut-out of the woman, accompanied by this hypnotizing krautrock song
A few of the songs from the soundtrack are Monty Python classics, which elevate good sequences into great sequences
The best composer of westerns
Haunting harmonica, very soothing
The walk taken by Jules and Cynthia across the city includes this beautiful piano piece
Timeless song about love. The film is a bit dated.
Wasn't convinced if the vocal was good or bad. Grew on me. Very atmospheric, like the film is.
From end credits, in contention to be the title track, but lost out. So different to the bombastic and pop-friendly The Living Daylights by A-ha.
I'm cheating a little, as the song is 6 years older than the film. A random YouTube user put the song together with the John Hughes movie.
Death Proof (2007)
You can generally trust Tarantino's soundtracks will deliver obscure gems, and Death Proof is no exception.
Hold Tight! by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich (1966)
It's So Easy by Willy DeVille (1980)
Catchy and danceable disco, from The Sound Machine scene. The soundtrack is arguably the best thing about Richard Linklater's latest.
Hope you enjoy the selections. What do you think about the music from these films and tv shows? Which discoveries from soundtracks did YOU make this year?
