Mmmm, look at that cover. Bold. pink. blue. It's a sketchy scan, I know, but that's a skill I'm still working on. give it time. While the colorful design doesn't do much to reflect the feel of the movie's dim parking garages, flats, and warehouses in a way it still fits. That detached floating head and the flat blue background give it this spaced out, unfocused mood that goes with movie's odd crime-thriller.

Because it approaches the genre from a totally sideways upside-down direction, and the soundtrack reflects this. Where another action movie might have, say, big orchestral hits and fight music, here you get... opera. You get moody drone with cluttered percussion... You get two versions of a solo piano piece called "Promenade Sentimentale". love it.

SIDE A
1. Aria from "La Wally" (Vocal by Wilhelmina Wiggins Fernandez)
2. Sentimental Walk
3. Dead End
4. Gorodish
5. The Zen in the art of Bread and Butter
6. "La Wally" (instrumental)
SIDE B
1. Sentimental Walk (second version)
2. Ground Swell
3. Metro Police
4. The Priest and the West Indian
5. Abandoned Factory
6. Aria from "La Wally" (reprise)

----

Also, I made a mix to go along with the soundtrack.

DIVA
01. Sir Richard Bishop- Saraswati
02. Public Image Ltd.- Careering
03. Wiley- Johnny was a Bad Boy
04. Indian Jewelry- Nonetheless
05. Appleblim- Gold and Silver
06. Mu- Chair Girl
07. Pere Ubu- Street Waves
08. Lucky Dragons- Morning Ritual
09. Yoshimi and Yuka- UMEgination
10. Dirty Projectors- But in the Headlights
11. Mohd Rafi- Jo Unki Tamanna (from Intaqam)

I think it works pretty well, too. I especially enjoyed the total mood-flip towards the end. In fact- on it's own, I feel like "Jo Unki Tamanna" is a fairly unremarkable song, but at the end of the mix like this it becomes great. Those last chords? perfect. Oh!
the other big development: I figured out how to make chapter markers, so now when you listen on your apple ipod you can skip around. If you MUST. If you for some reason can't listen to one thing for 40 minutes.

Recorded to Side B of the strangelight tape. That tape is FINISHED.

strangelight



A new mix, inspired by the strangelight and subvisible quality of riding a bike down an unmarked road at midnight. When just enough moonlight filters through the trees to give the road ahead a vague unearthly glow. So I suspect this is best enjoyed (a) at night, (b) outside, and probably (c) alone. But that's in your hands now. Let me know what you think.

recorded to Side A of a 90 minute TDK cassette tape on the 18th of June, 2008

01. Ikue Mori- A Buddhist Monk Receives Cassia Seeds on a Moonlit Night
02. Fugazi- Strangelight
03. A Handful of Dust- The Lonesome Death of Albert Ayler
04. Clipse- Ride Around Shining (feat. Ab-Live and Rosco)
05. Lambchop- My Face Your Ass

Fall 07, Bad Magicians



A mixtape I made for Slow West Vultures last year, and also this blog's namesake. Side A is grimmer and grimier, and the flip cools off. recorded to a maxwell 90 minute tape and reproduced here, clunky edits and all. Enjoy, I'll be back soon with more.
