Quality Films: Episode 2: My Favourite Film Soundtracks

 




Episode 2: Soundtracks
I have Blade Runner, and Pulp Fiction on vinyl and the rest I have to get, this is the reason I did this video because these soundtracks are timeless.
Blade Runner and Pulp Fiction are well known for the music as well as the film.  Trainspotting is also well known as a modern classic, but the only song that stands out is Lust for Life, by Iggy Pop because it helped to promote the film. There was also the Underworld, dance tune Born Slippy, but I feel Lust for Life was more mainstream in popularity.
The Matrix has a good soundtrack but I don’t think people remember it for the soundtrack but more for the film's visuals except for Rage Against the Machine.
The Crow I love but I think the soundtrack was overshadowed a little by the death of Brandon Lee during filming.  It's a fine soundtrack which was helped by the song by The Cure, in trailers.
Oh, Brother Where Art Thou, is one of my favourite films due to the fact that it has a certain look, .pace and just comes across as a fantasy. 
It has a soundtrack but it's only known for one song that is mimed by the actors and released by another band.
The sound in this film is more interwoven with the film than in some others. It's just fantastic
I might do more soundtrack videos so stay tuned :)

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se

The travel guide of Fun For Louis, aka Louis Cole

Back in the day, when TV and traveling around the world to different places was kind of everywhere, it was really entertaining, This has all but gone from the main British channels. One TV series that stood out was " The Rough Guide" taking you to the non tourist area's, well places where they allowed TV cameras That was the 1990s, now fast forward to 2014/2015 Youtube is now the place for many people to watch, essentially, TV. At the start, Youtube is not what it is now. However, more people are vlogging ( Short for video blog), comedy and documentaries. I am not a fan of collecting loads of people on Youtube and subscribing, as there is a lot of channels with the same stuff. You have, revewers, technology and gaming, which does get tedious after a while. It takes something good to grab my attention and one such person, from Surrey, England. is Louis Cole Although his, Youtube, life didn't start out daily vlogging or travelling, it is now the content he
