Pilot Scott Tracy - Angel Of Death


nice Hank Williams cover that sort of reminds me of The Rentals.

Tom Scharpling and Patton Oswalt get Metsmerized




Roky Erickson & the Aliens - Creature With The Atom Brain


this whole song is great but the spoken word breaks are especially brilliant. it's like hearing both sides of the conversation a crazy man has in his head. you could probably write a psychology thesis just on interpreting this album.

Les Paul & Mary Ford

Goofus: If Super Mario was created in the 50s, this is what the soundtrack would've sounded like.



How High The Moon: Probably the most well-known recording of this jazz-standard.

Deadmau5 and Kaskade - I Remember

yeah i am really posting house music with pop singing. this is a great song. there are a ton of remixes but i like this original version a lot. imo it's just very a simple and enjoyable song that works well because it has a great melody over a great chord progression. stating the obvious, but you could pretty much play this music with anything - acoustic instruments... there's nothing fancy about it, no production tricks of any kind, it's just a very simple device over and over for just the right amount of time.

a couple of Cows b-sides



the Cows, one of the greatest noise rock bands of all time, was not above covering the odd novelty song (written by Slim Gaillard). do the hot new dance sweeping the gutters - the chicken rhythm!



bonus b-side, One O'Clock High

The Violent Sequence

I watched a documentary about the making of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, which gave me some insight into why I can't stand that album. It's mostly in the production, the execution, if you will. In the film Roger Waters and David Gilmour play Dark Side songs acoustically and suddenly they didn't sound completely horrible and shit anymore.

One of the songs on Dark Side is Us and Them, which originally was based on a 6-minute piano piece Richard Wright composed for the film Zabriskie Point, although director Michelangelo Antonioni decided not to use it.

I can't stand Us and Them, which is sad, because the original Violent Sequence is really quite good.

Clinic - Porno

I like this song. I like it a lot. Be prepared for the semi-earsplitting noise at about 2:29, when the word 'spastic' has to be censored, apparently.

The Great Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - Wuthering Heights

Especially for ahem, another cover of that most songly of songs (some even say it's the very songest of them all), Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.

Please take note of the heady combination of Frank Sinatra with a Yorkshire accent and audience participation. It all makes sense, when thee hears it.

Masaru Satô - music from The Incident At Blood Pass



once again, interesting music ripped from the movie, i don't have info on these. Masaru Satô was a very famous film score composer who worked on many classic Japanese movies you've probably seen, such as High And Low, Goyokin, Throne Of Blood and Yojimbo.

these two pieces appear at the start of the film Machibuse aka Ambush aka The Incident At Blood Pass. the first piece of music is really the exciting one to me because the sounds are so strange and the music is so unique. it has a great effect when you see the atmospheric opening shot of the dark, wet forest and you hear this alienating music... the second piece begins with Toshiro Mifune's narration as he braces for the adventure to come, and then the opening credits roll.

not a bad movie, but not one of my favorites of Mifune's. there was some really sloppy fight choreography and i found the antagonist character to be too unsympathetic to give him the pass you're meant to in the ethically-nebulous story. i found this music to be really interesting though, so here it is.

Leigh Harline - opening theme music from Isle Of The Dead


i watched this Boris Karloff movie last night... but this music that played over the opening credits was pretty much the only thing i liked about it. i don't know the actual title of it, but the credits say the music was done by Leigh Harline.
