He does actually read ILM! And he knows I'm not a Medicine fan and he not only still talks to me but does nice things like make a copy of the Monitor album for me, so I proclaim him a fine feller.

Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a goofy one. The soundtrack to the Mel Gibson/Robert Downey Jr. Vietnam Action Comedy Air America is mostly Oldies, but it's led off by three new rando covers:

Aerosmith–Love Me Two Times
B.B. King And Bonnie Raitt–Right Place Wrong Time
Charlie Sexton–Long Cool Woman In Black Dress

an icon of a worried-looking, long-haired, bespectacled man (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 4 July 2024 05:15 (one year ago)

On the subject of the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall of the British film industry, this thread got me to thinkin' if there was a soundtrack album for Tank Girl, and yes, there was:
https://www.discogs.com/master/61335-Various-Tank-Girl-Original-Soundtrack-From-The-United-Artists-Film

It had:

Stomp - Ripper Sole
Björk - Army Of Me
Devo - Girl U Want (which from what I remember was a re-recording)
The Magnificent Bastards – Mockingbird Girl
L7 – Shove
Hole – Drown Soda
Bush – Bomb
Portishead – Roads
Joan Jett And Paul Westerberg – Let's Do It
Belly – Thief
Veruca Salt – Aurora
Ice-T – Big Gun

You know what I like about the best song-based soundtrack albums? Even when the songs are all different styles, they seem to hang together. They make sense. There's an underlying creative vision, a kind of focus. Not so Tank Girl. With perhaps the exception of "Army of Me".

Inevitably, with that link being Discogs, it's full of people requesting a vinyl repress. Which raises the question of why. Is it supposed to make your home look like an authentic 1990s home? But nobody bought the album, and it only came out on CD. If you want to recapture the look of the 1990s you'd want the CD, not dirty old vinyl. And it's not exactly Judgment Night.

Was there a soundtrack album for Hardware? Yes, complete with PiL's "The Order of Death":

Ashley Pomeroy, Sunday, 7 July 2024 18:13 (one year ago)

The collision of Soundtrack collectors & "Everything on vinyl" heads is quite the weirdo pileup.

Courtney Love was the music supervisor for Tank Girl, a role she accepted after backing out on playing Jet Girl after Kurt died.

The soundtrack sold pretty well, spinning off a couple Alternative Radio hits with the Bjork and "Mockingbird Girl" (a Scott Weiland side project, he thought enough of the song that he rerecorded on one of his solo albums).

It even got a tie-in video:

There's this odd period post-Singles and/or The Crow where there were a number of 'youth pictures' seemingly only greenlit because the studio knew the soundtrack would be a hit. Tank Girl certainly feels like one of those.

It just occurred to me that Tom Cruise films typically have really duff soundtracks, but then I remembered that Jerry Maguire had a His Name is Alive track so now I don't know what to think

TIL that "Wise Up" originated on the Jerry Maguire soundtrack

There's this odd period post-Singles and/or The Crow where there were a number of 'youth pictures' seemingly only greenlit because the studio knew the soundtrack would be a hit. Tank Girl certainly feels like one of those.

The imagery was fairly popular worldwide, and Deadline had gone m/l mainstream by then off the back of the proto-Britpop bands it also covered -- and the first collection was one of Penguin's bemusingly disparate attempts to follow up their success with Spiegelman's MAUS, along with Michael Dougan's short story anthology. (And still, afaik, the only time Tank Girl has been reprinted in the correct aspect ratio.)

Oh yeah, it was certainly a popular comic. That was during my comic reading days in the mid-'90s and I devoured mags like Wizard and Hero Illustrated every month, including their movie news columns, where you could trace development histories on all the various and sundry comic book films/series of the time that did or (mostly) did not happen. It seems like United Artists entered into the project in good faith that quickly went wayward.

Looking at wiki, I do see that the soundtrack didn't sell as well as I thought it did, not even going Gold.

Weird that Face to Face's Disconnected isn't on the tank girl s/t, I recall it featuring heavily in the movie.

No one ever successfully guessed my xxpost (it isn't Persona).

A minor hint: its from 1991 (though it somehow failed to make the jump to my digital collection: crypto's favourite albums of 1991)
