I've already re-filed my dvds by director, so the cd's would be more sensible matching. That way, both the score and the musical to Buffy will be next to the score for Angel, Firefly and Serenity. And all 5 of the cds with the "music" for Tarkovsky's films stay together. Of course I could file by country and subfile by director but that would be a bit much considering soundtracks are 50% or more of my music collection. I'm fresh out of bibles but I suppose it would have to be filed in reference: history. But then again, is it really? Yikes.

"reality bites" - i just adore that lisa loeb song with the two-word chorus. and after listening to neil finn for quite awhile, i noticed that crowded house song is one of the most radiant pop love songs in existence. i have no idea what else is on the album. "juno" - okay, right now i'm trying to think of any other soundtrack, or album even for that matter, that i would describe as "darling". "until the end of the world" - you know all those killer albums u2 put out over their like billion-year career? they are probably 0.0005% of the reason i've ever given u2 a second thought. the rest of the reason is the title track to this soundtrack. "good will hunting" - i didn't know where else to find "miss misery". seriously, last place i want to look for something is a fucking gus van sant movie. "the virgin suicides" - this soundtrack is freakishly close to perfect. "lost in translation" - purchased on the dovetails of "the virgin suicides" soundtrack (movie watched for the same reason only it was movie coattails.) i recall a vague dullness. "singles" - at some point in the 1990's, just about everyone had this album, kind of in the same way that, at some point in 1990s, just about everyone had one of those tall, black halogen lamps (with dimmer). perhaps it was a gift with purchase. "melrose place" - as soon i heard the aimee track on this soundtrack, there was no way i was going to wait for aimee's second album to come out (this was back in the day when aimee mann's recording an album and aimee mann's record company releasing an album of hers had pretty much zero to do one another.) "x-files" - there's two, i believe - one for the television series and one for the "fight the future" movie. i like them both, but, thank both god and the devil that only one has william s. burroughs doing a karokee "star me kitten" (or is that " * me kitten?) "once more, with feeling" - in the weeks after my mother's death, this never left the cd player. it was one of the few albums that could make me smile, if just for a few moments. "hair" - not the soundtrack to the movie, the real one that i listened to as a tot. "music for films" - <*thinks to self*: probably doesn't count.> there are more, i'm sure. but i've confessed more than enough for to-night. as ever, lauren - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:01:16 -0800 (PST) From: "C.

In general I like watching movies a lot so it's a nice addition to the music. You know what soundtracks I really like, that I don't think would make a lot of sense outside their movies? Herzog's soundtracks, particularly "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and "Stroszek". And Morricone's soundtracks to Sergio Leone's westerns are great but again, they are pretty integrally part of their movies.

General rule was, if it had one track of interest on it, I'd take it. Second general rule was that I never sold any CD's back (until I finally sold all of them), so for many years I had quite a few dodgy soundtracks. What I learned was that there must be some Irish Film Board which requires filmmakers to include "Fisherman's Blues" in any film that shoots even the tiniest fraction of footage in Ireland, and that Greg Arakki films were never worth seeing but always produced must-have soundtracks. Generally I dislike song-based soundtracks. They're disingenuous marketing tools.
