Movie soundtracks

I have been thinking about movie soundtracks lately...I find them such an excellent source into music I probably wouldn't have heard otherwise. The Wackness probably rates as one of my all time favourites.
As The Playlist says "While, the film's soundtrack is heavy on the hip-hop, the movie also features '60s reggae artists, The Pioneers, late '80s indie-pop act Vomit Launch, and tracks by Donovan and Mott The Hoople*." Including:

Nas - "The World Is Yours"

Raewkon "Heaven and Hell"

Notorious B.I.G. feat. Method Man "The What"

DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince "Summertime"

Donovan - "Season of The Witch"

Biz Markie - "Just A Friend"

Total feat. Notorious B.I.G. "Can’t Ya See"

A Tribe Called Quest - "Can I Kick It"

Faith Evans - "You Used To Love Me"

R Kelly - "Bump N' Grind"

The Pioneers - "Long Shot Kick de Buckettfont"

Vomit Launch "Exit Lines"

Craig Mack - "Flava In Your Ear"

The Wu Tang Clan - "Tearz''

Mott The Hoople - "All The Young Dudes"

 

 Any other ideas?

Funny stuff my friend says

Greetings,
I am posting this from the bedroom of my friend Kate, who is in the shower. We went to see some cool bands last night, although we missed Valar, so I'm doing a catchup with itunes.
Good stuff.
 Also on the listening mix, Bon Iver. Classic Kate comment:

 Int. Morning, Bedroom.

K: Yeah I heard he had mononucleosis.

CS: What's that?

K: Let's google it.

Googles.

So, turns out mononucleosis is actually just glandular fever.

K (emphatically): Americans always fuck everything up!

I really think transcribing this removes the humour, but I'm laughing anyway.
And now, another personal joke for Kate.
Sorry

The Cardigans

Great song!

Lily Allen

I think Lily Allen is so beautiful, I hope I can see her in concert next year!

Flight of the Conchords

Flight of the Conchords never fails to make me laugh, even when you know what's going to happen...somehow the execution is even better than you expect. Plus, I definitely prefer self deprecating humour to laughing at other people.
To some extent, I hope they don't make another series (although 3 does have a nice round ring to it) because then there's always the risk of becoming passe, and they are pretty perfect as they are.

Tom Morello

Yet another musician whose mysterious allure is all to irresistible...Tommy Morello aka the guitarist from Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Street sweeper Social club et al.
At this very moment I'm listening to an interview he's given on Triple J... the whole experience of triple j and rage against the machine reminds me of my cousin, who during that late nineties period when rage was really big was at uni, involved in the anarchist movement and eating sprouts that she grew on the dashboard of her van.
Once, while I was watching TV at her parents house, she came in and got me to help her hide cash behind books on the bookshelf.
A strange memory, you probably think, but I love it in the way that you love those personal family experiences.

Cartwheels

This is the clip for 'Any Fun' by Coconut Records, Jason Schwartzman's band.
Good clean fun. Why doesn't anyone skate or do cartwheels anymore? Enjoy.
