Vertigo theme by Bernard Hermann

I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.

Deathtrippers: “She Speaks in Spells”

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

― Leo Tolstoy

Die Another Day by Madonna, a very rare pick for me.

Dead Can Dance: “Cantara”

Lisa Gerrard certainly has a set of pipes on her. I’m in love. ❤️

“One Year of Love” by Queen.
I rewatched Highlander recently, so I’ve been listening to the soundtrack a lot the past few days.

All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph!

“Good” by Better Than Ezra. Perhaps the most joyful break-up song ever.

Convoy is one of the few songs for me that straddles the twilight between “decent” and “bad”, but doesn’t quite fit into either camp because there are so many things about the song that conflict with each other. It’s pretty catchy and really did had potential, but then you get the song’s inherent cheesiness, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it would just make it a “cult classic/so bad it’s good” kind of song, but that’s not the worst offender. It’s the utterly ridiculous sounding chorus that takes a big steaming dump over the somewhat decently ‘sung’/spoken verses and almost everything else about the song.

Half of me understands why it became a hit, but half of me just doesn’t. But it’s just a silly, campy novelty song not to be taken seriously at the end of the day.

But what both halves of me do NOT get is why the hell it spawned a movie directed by Sam Peckinpah of all people.

When’s something gonna happen?
