Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Have we discussed soundtracks yet? I bet we have, and clearly I can't be bothered searching the archives.
Like the time I wrote a fantastic post about heavy metal, and the genres within, but of course, ELPs had that covered that here, didn't they? But I'm not bitter.
Anyhoo, soundtracks, what's the deal?
Are there any no-no's or yes-yes'? Does possessing more than one Gilbert and Sullivan mean that there'll be no sleeping over tonight, what about Rodgers and Hammerstein?
Is the Sound of Music just okay for girls, what does it say about the boys? Brave and in touch with their inner Maria, or get away from me you big nancy-boy?
Is having the 1969 Broadway cast recording of Hair any good? Or help yourself to your hippie revival Mr/Ms Wannabe, I've got to get up early for a meeting?
Is a crap film which has a cool soundtrack admissable? Example in question Ali G in Da House (yes, I have this one).
Personally, I've been scoffed at for possessing and loving the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack (which actually, can totally stand on its own as a tremendous collection of lovely tunes thankyou very much) but that was from someone who thought Dodgeball was a really funny film.
Can the line between liking films and the subsequent music they produce or encourage further listening ever be crossed or is that another blog entirely - do we need to start Embarrassing DVDs?

I think that some truly awful films have great soundtracks. Lost In Translation has some fantastic music, it was just a pity about the lack of plot.
Also, how many Spinal Tap CDs would be allowed. I have the OST.

soundtracks indeed.
no need for any john barry musical scores, nor any of that pseudo-classical nonsense that really just pushes european compositional style into the realm of adult easy listening radio.
very happy to see the amelie soundtrack though.
i've been in love with the buffalo '66 one for years.
and broken flowers, if only for the mulato astatke tracks, but it's certainly an interesting collection of tunes.
i'm quite down with the batman forever soundtrack, and will overlook up to two x-files compilations because they really do contain some decent tunes.
musicals don't really work for me. get the dvd, not the cd, if you must. dancer in the dark is an exception, for in this case you are more than welcome to own both.
