Flight of the Navigator
Sunday, November 12, 2006

Time for a trip down nostalgia lane, here comes Alan Silvestri's main title to the classic 80s film "Flight of the Navigator". I get some strange kick seeing that dog catch the frisbee as the music starts up and the movie begins.

Max: I crashed into electrical towers and my star charts were erased. I need the ones in your head to complete my mission. David: So you need ME and my inferior brain to fly that thing? Max: Correction, I need the superior information in your inferior brain to fly this... thing.

See ya later, Navigator!

Continuing the Todd Solondz theme, here is the catchy tune from Welcome to the Dollhouse, a film I happen to have an original theatrical poster for. The track is by Rey and Wisoff.

Nathan Larson - Aviva Pastoral
Wednesday, November 08, 2006

From the unreleased and unplanned soundtrack to Todd Solondz's Palindromes comes the childlike innocent 'la la la' theme from Nathan Larson. For more of Nathan's work I recommend his website where he claims to make "music to order" and this track is available for download for free. In Nathan's own words:

I got to rip off the ROSEMARY’S BABY soundtrack, collaborated again with my wife Nina, always a pleasure; plus it was the first feature I did almost entirely on the laptop with which I write you now, at the now defunct Globe Studios, overlooking the Meat Packing District in New York City in it’s final days. Once a strange, nasty, and wonderful area, it’s now one big high-end designer outlet mall like everything else. Anyhoo, PALINDROMES has been very well recieved at the usual round of festivals, and apparently it’s been sold, thank God, as Todd paid for it himself , thus risking total financial annihialtion. Balls.

El Perro Del Mar
Friday, November 03, 2006

El Perro del Mar is the band of singer/songwriter Sarah Assbring from Gothenburg, Sweden. She describes her project as "the name of the music that I had been dreaming of and planning on making for a long time." Her style is very reminiscent of 60's French pop; relaxed, care-free music and sombre yet child-like vocals.

This track is entitled "It's all good" and is available free from Last.fm (where this is streamed from).

Cab Calloway

Woman why won't you just shut up? Ain't you never gonna stop talking? I will bless the day that I can get away from your voice, your voice, your voice. From Calloway's Cotton Club 1933-1934 comes "Your Voice":

Where Is Minnie?

Lulu Jackson

This track is the first of two parts, entitled "You're going to leave the old home Jim". I discovered this track on the album "Before the Blues, vol. 2" under the Yazoo label.

I have since seen it on "Female Country Blues Vol.1" with 7 other magical tracks. However this still remains my favourite, it has a sublime quaintness and that powerful feeling of nostalgic melancholy. This song was created between 1924 and 1928 and is classified in the pre-war blues genre.

Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple
Thursday, October 26, 2006
From the soundtrack to Everything is Illuminated and described on the last.fm wiki:

"[As an artist that combines] elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brecht-ian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the The Birthday Party and Einstürzende Neubauten in his native Ukraine."
