Fuck You So Long – The Raw Nerves

Scott Walker - Jackie
I think it’s a case of just digging a little deeper, y’know? One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they put music into film and television is they think that they should put in music that reflects what’s already on the screen. There’s a very tired cliché about a guy walking in the rain so you put a sad song about a guy walking in the rain. The problem with that is that it basically doesn’t add anything. If you’re good, you look for the subtext that isn’t there on the page, or in the dialogue. It’s just the trick of not going with the easy answer and trying to always find something unique. Adding something counter-intuitive or something that has another angle to it will often create a really interesting dynamic in the scene.

Another NZ rock’n’roll delight. Phwoar.

Arcane Luv – Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands
What do you get when you kidnap the B-52s, stuff them inside a well-worn Marshall cabinet with loose wiring and force them to perform? You get this song. Which is really fucking great. Here’s how you should listen to it:
- While eating Froot Loops™ out of a bowl made from a human skull
- Loudly at the stop lights in your Cadillac (you should wink at a pretty girl too)
- In the middle of a bank robbery or shoot-out
For more Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands head to White Moon Recordings and download a whole bunch of their records for nix. They’re also on Bandcamp.
