Another year, another soundtrack. You can listen to these songs (except those marked with an asterisk) on Rdio or Spotify. The Lonely Island: “Spell It Out” Thes One: “Trippin’ On A Tambourine” * The New Pornographers: “Mass Romantic” Grouplove: “Raspberry” Foster the People: “Houdini” Julian Casablancas: “11th Dimension” The Strokes: “Partners In Crime” Man Or Astro-Man?: “Defcon …
Another year, another soundtrack project mix. I have a lot of my usual suspects (Beatles, Wire, People Under the Stairs, Rush) and some artists that have followed me since high school (New Order, Simple Minds, Beastie Boys, Rush). The trend I see is that when I started this project in 2005 my taste in music …
It’s now year seven of my annual soundtrack project. I ended up with a lot more new music (actually released in 2011) than in past years: The Mills Brothers: “I Heard” Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm: “Getting Nasty” People Under The Stairs: “Gamin’ on Ya (Dub)” Beastie Boys: “Make Some Noise” Beck: “Qué Onda Guero …
My annual “soundtrack project” continues with 2010’s version. I seem to have regressed a bit to my earlier alternative & rap days. Beck: “Orphans” New Order: “Fine Time” The Smiths: “Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before” The Beatles: “What You’re Doing” The Kinks: “Victoria” The Winstons: “Amen Brother” Beastie Boys: “Super …
Here’s 2009’s soundtrack. This is the first year that there’s no real punk or hardcore on my annual list (not that I didn’t listen to any, but there were no clear picks for 2009). Perhaps I’m mellowing with age? People Under the Stairs: “Acid Raindrops (Instrumental)” The Beatles: “Dig A Pony” Beck: “Chemtrails” Neko Case: …
This is the fourth year of my annual soundtrack project, and here is this year’s summary of my musical tastes. Again, the only rule is that the songs chosen have to fit on a regular audio CD. Thes One: “Gate City Savings And Loan” The Shins: “Little Boxes” Wire: “Outdoor Miner” The La’s: “Feelin’ (live)” …
Another year, another soundtrack. And this year I actually chose a different Samiam song (I didn’t realize that chose the exact same song for 2005 and 2006…I must really like it). Anyway, here’s a summary of my musical tastes for 2007: Beatles: “Strawberry Fields Forever” The Alarm: “Up for Murder” The La’s: “Timeless Melody” The …
Last year was the first year of my annual soundtrack project. Here’s this year’s CD: Pixies: “Where Is My Mind?” People Under The Stairs: “The Dig” Gnarls Barkley: “Crazy” Devo: “Turn Around” They Might Be Giants: “I Should Be Allowed To Think” Belle & Sebastian: “White Collar Boy” The Dubliners: “Irish Rover” Simple Minds: “The …
This year I finally started an annual project I’ve been wanted to do for years: at the end of each year, I’ll create a CD with the music that most accurately reflects my year in music (not necessarily music released that year). Selections could be artists I discovered, rediscovered, or just listened to a lot; …
