This is a mix of songs from some of my favourite films. It's not, however, a "best of the soundtracks" sort of mix. I've borrowed heavily from the films of Gregg Araki because I just love his soundtracks (and the films they relate to of course). This mix is relaxing and dreamy and, in my opinion, flows nicely. My least favourite part of making a mix is trying to get the tracks ordered in a way that sounds right and by the time I've finished listening to it through a million times I tend to be sick of the songs and not want to hear it again for a while. That hasn't happened with this one, thank goodness. This is my first mix here and I may mess some things up so please go easy on me!

Track 6 from Surfer Rosa
Length: 00:02:31 Year: 1988 |

|
Track Description:
I love the Pixies. I seriously worry about anyone who doesn't. This song was used in the film "The United States of Leland" (as well as two other Pixies tracks and some other gems) but unfortunately there was never an official soundtrack released. I thought I'd start of the mix with a real corker to get people's attention. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
I'm heading into shoegaze territory now and, although Ride will never be up there with the greats, this track was a welcome addition to the mix. Drive Blind was used in the film "Mysterious Skin" and is the first of the Gregg Araki-borrowed songs on this compilation. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Sophia Coppola has used some great tunes in her films, and this (from "Lost In Translation") is one of the best. I could have chosen something a little more obscure, but I decided to go with the classic. I think it payed off. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
I think everyone will agree that a mix always benefits from a Joy Division song! This track (and video) was used to great effect in the fantastic film "24 Hour Party People". I really love the transition of this song to the next for some reason... SHOW LESS

Track 12 from Marie Antoinette
Length: 00:05:08 Year: 2006 |
|
|
Track Description:
Love, love, love the Cure! There were a lot of songs I could have chosen from "Marie Antoinette" (it really is a stellar soundtrack) but Plainsong is one of my all time favourites so it seemed like a no-brainer. Especially since I have a friend I want to give this mix to who needs a good introduction to the band. I really like the transition from this song to the next as well. I'm usually so bad at that part. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Speaking of Lush! This cover of one of my favourite Magnetic Fields songs was used in Gregg Araki's film "Nowhere" and, even though the original is still my favourite, they did a marvellous job covering it. One of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. SHOW LESS

Mazzy Star contributed three songs to the little seen film "Down In The Valley" starring Edward Norton. This is my favourite of the three (well, the one that fit best on my mix anyway). Peter Salett's original songs from the film are worth checking out too. SHOW LESS

Again, not the version from "Little Miss Sunshine" but this will have to do. It fits on anyway, which is what counts. I just couldn't resist putting a song with the word "end" in it as the last song on my mix. That rarely happens and it amused me. Yes, I'm easily amused, why do you ask? It's a lovely song too, so shush! SHOW LESS
