back to the future
malcolm mclaren "about her"
i've yet to see kill bill vol. 2, but this song from it is riveting. trust tarentino to be on top of things, and slide a mashup into his movie. atmospheric and beautiful, i heard this track on college radio and immediately wanted to see the movie even more. the vocals are from the zombies, who i loved anyways. i'm not sure what the other samples are from, but stylistically it reminds me of moby.
[buy the album!]
[i've been informed that no frontin, just music previously posted this great song, so if you like this, you'll probably want to check out their mp3 blog. cheers!]
the rasmus "in the shadows"
this track is top 10 in england as far as i know, but i'd wager most of you haven't heard it yet. IT'S SO GOTH. IT'S SO CHEESY. the singer wears RAVEN FEATHERS IN HIS HAIR in the video. I LOVE IT. the track bounces along like the cruxshadows meets n'sync. and everytime the "oh-oh / oh-oh!" hits i just want to clutch my head and epileptically jam along. this song is the soundtrack to countless club scenes from vampire movies that haven't been made yet. it's to goth what the darkness is to metal. and just as it starts to get a bit long, it throughs you one more bouncy oh-oh refrain and YOU LOVE IT. paint on the black mascara boys and girls.
[buy the album!]
The Rasmus track is unstoppable. Nice selections.

That Malcolm McLaren track came up in the movie and I sat there going "I know this, I know this song, is it a gum commercial?" And after the movie my friend looked at me and went "What was THAT song?" and I knew exactly which song he was talking about. It's really great. Thanks.
