David Lynch :: A Soundtrack Enthusiast II
David Lynch: auteur/soundtrack enthusiast/hypnosis pundit. Lynch absolutely transforms the songs he uses in his films into his own. Can anyone really hear "Blue Velvet" without feeling the voyeuristic vibe of the film of the same name? He is expert in juxtaposing a song with a scene of a dissimliar theme. Often copied, never trumped, here are some tracks I have enjoyed over the years used in some of his latter films.

Dig how Ashmatic Kitty describes their new album: "With First Light's Freeze, Castanets return with a dark mutant-country sound infused with strands of free-jazz, new wave and a late-seventies Nashville big-radio strut hijacked by post-punk unravelers. The result is a beautiful mix of somber reflection, destination-unknown travelogue, and subversive anti-war boogie. Castanets' unrelenting creative pioneering delightfully befuddles, as they simultaneously flirt . . .

Born to Run :: 30th Anniversary 3-Disc Set
It's said Bruce Springsteen set out to create the ultimate Rock & Roll album -- and to many of his fans -- Born To Run achieved just that (note: I vastly prefer Darkness On The Edge of Town). This past week marks the 30th anniversary of one of . . .

Wes Anderson :: A Soundtrack Enthusiast
Some of my favorite films of the past eight years have been the works of Wes Anderson. His impeccable attention to detail draws the audience right into his world and imagination. It's no surprise that I am almost always as eager to hear the soundtrack as to see the actual films. Almost. Here are some tracks spanning his four films thus far, not . . .
