Managing Editorial Director / Beastmaster 2: Through The Portal Of Time at BuzzFeed. Easily enthused.

Honestly kind of impressed by the endurance it must have taken to listen to 99 soundtracks in their entirety.

intheblanks, Saturday, 7 June 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link

but also

Most memorable song: “Wild Wild West,” Will Smith. OMFG tiny Jaden at the beginning of this track is all of us.

Sleeper favorite: "Talk Show Host", Radiohead.
The perfect song to lose your virginity to if you're the coolest person on the face of planet Earth.

Sleeper favorite: “Broken,” Belly. The single most underrated ’90s band, plus the line “the curve of her ass is unparalleled.”

A thousand times yes!

Apparently my mom-in-law the therapist would assign her clients to watch "The Crow" as homework. I think, if I had a therapist recommend that, I would never see that therapist again, and also I would probably feel embarrassed just at propinquity to their office.

one year passes...

Tom Breihan wrote about The Crow (and its soundtrack) for the AV Club.

I am crushed to report that The Crow’s soundtrack album does not hold up that well. This was a tough one for me. The soundtrack, probably even more than the movie itself, was huge for me. It pulled goth and metal and industrial and alt-rock into one digestible package, evoking a mood of prickly darkness and stylized intensity. These days, it sounds thin and slapped-together and possibly focus-grouped. The industrial songs are goofy, the goth songs thin. The Violent Femmes attempt to brood, and Rage Against The Machine does what it always does, except not as well. The cover versions (Nine Inch Nails doing Joy Division, Rollins Band doing Suicide, Pantera doing Poison Idea) are fun, but the whole thing, taken together, feels like mid-’90s corporate product for kids trying to rebel.

two years pass...

It all comes around. From a letter sent into Defector (not from a Defector writer directly):

I was driving today and "Lovefool" by The Cardigans came on the radio. I'm sure it was released on a Cardigans album, but I remember it from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and it hit me that those kinds of soundtracks don't really seem to exist anymore. The 90s and early 00s were chocked full of amazing soundtrack albums, often better than the movie itself. The gold standard was probably The Crow, and you expected it from movies like Airheads and Empire Records, but even City of Angels had a pretty solid soundtrack.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 February 2023 22:42 (one year ago) link

it definitely was something that could only exist pre-streaming, because this was your only way to hear these (often but not always) exclusive songs.

City of Angels had some great tunes. the White Zombie cover of "I'm Your Boogie Man", Filter's "Jurassitol" (one of the last decent songs they did), Linda Perry and Grace Slick duet (soz DJP, I know Perry kinda sounds constipated but she's pretty good on this one), Toadies "Paper Dress" (which for a while, the riff was played during MTV news breaks), etc etc

i enjoyed this fun fact from a recent "Number Ones" column about Nelly Furtado:

Furtado signed to DreamWorks in 1999, and her first solo song "Party's Just Begun (Again)" came out on the soundtrack of the Claire Danes Thai-prison drama Brokedown Palace.

orifex, Tuesday, 14 February 2023 23:37 (one year ago) link

All I know about "The Crow" OST is that it's got this truly strange Jane Siberry track, a beautifully written and arranged song, would be among my favourites of hers except for the fact that she sings, throughout, a consistent 10 cents flat

The uncanniness of her flatness on the song has always frustrated and amazed me, as if the production was built up around the vocals by a tone-deaf producer, or Jane was singing with poorly placed headphones or something, it's really truly strange

Also it always irritated me that the song is titled "It Can't Rain All The Time" but the lyric is "it won't rain all the time"

Crow: City of Angels also had PJ Harvey's "Naked Cousin"!

waiting for a czar to fall (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 15 February 2023 01:28 (one year ago) link

Isn’t that a reference to something in the movie? I haven’t seen it since it came out in the theater, but that song has something to do with the Crow. Besides just being on the soundtrack.

Cow_Art, Wednesday, 15 February 2023 02:06 (one year ago) link

I'm with fgti in that Jane's song should land big but is just off a bit.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 15 February 2023 02:47 (one year ago) link

Wow -- I just wrote about my favorite soundtracks today, most of which were released in the '90s. I'd say Until the End of the World kicked off the trend of "alternative" act + stars.
