New Fun "Please Resond" Thing I Just Invented:

Ok, first of all: I flipping LOVE "The Muppet Movie." So much fun....check it out, but if you read this, I'll probably be letting you borrow it.

NOW, ON TO BUSINESS:
-----------------

Heres what I want you to do if you care to do such things: I'm going to post a soundtrack to a movie that basically shaped my teen years and how I got into music (it's EVERYONE'S teen years that they develop their taste and love/preference of music.....sorry Andrew this is going to piss you off.). THEN.....I want YOU to comment by posting the same kind of thing, but it has to be a soundtrack. And, if the comment space is too small, just email me and I'll post it.

Neat.....here we go:

THE BATMAN FOREVER SOUNDTRACK

1. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - U2 - Kind of my first introduction to U2....I was thrown off by the weird orgasmic-sounding vocal at the end, when I started to hear that 3/4 of U2 were into Christianity in their youth at the time of forming the band. But I thought the song rocked out.
2. One Time Too Many - P.J. Harvey - I could never figure out if P.J. Harvey was a dude or a girl (girl indeed), but this is why I leaned more to the rock&roll genre.
3. Where Are You Now? - Brandy - Sucked then....sucks now....but I still listened to it.
4. Kiss From A Rose - Seal - I didn't like this as much as everyone else...yet it's the most popular song on the disc.
5. The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game - Massive Attack With Tracey Thorn - Really cool vibe, and I dug Tracey Thorn. I think it helped develop my fascination with British stuff, and made me wonder if all British women were a bit mannish.
6. Nobody Lives Without Love - Eddi Reader - Again, another chick song...but I like the Adult Contemporary feel to it.
7. Tell Me Now - Mazzy Star - Flipping Mazzy Star. This is kind of what I would later get into music-wise. I just didn't know it yet. It's kind of a slighty off-tuned guitar simply strummed with a very slow drum beat. Sounds like very few instruments and kind of like basement-produced is how I would describe it.
8. Smash It Up - The Offspring - Intro to kind of punkish rock. This was before "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)", thank goodness.
9. There Is A Light - Nick Cave - Nick Cave is a weird dude. This was also about the time I knew him from the X-Files and Dumb&Dumber...."Red-Right Hand," you know....the 'I got robbed by a little old lady in a motorized cart' music.....also loved by X-Files creator Chris Carter.
10. The Riddler - Method Man - Yeah.....never liked rap music. It's just blatant soundtrack-rap-song that puts a character from the movie into it. Listening to it now, I have to wonder, "Did Method Man have a cold when he recoded his vocals?" You know, it sounds like "Duh Riddwer."
11. The Passenger - Michael Hutchence - I never liked INXS, but it was electronicish and kind of creepy (Nick Cave wannabe). It was before he killed himself.
12. Crossing The River - The Devlins - I used to stand in front of my mirror singing this....but I would stand so that you could only see half of my face......kind of like a music video.
13. 8 - Sunny Day Real Estate - Ahh yes, years later when Andrew was getting me into his music, he asked if I knew Sunny Day Real Estate. I was proud that I did. This stuff rocked...and was almost too random to be on a Batman soundtrack, b/c they seemed like then what would be an indie band now.
14. Bad Days - The Flaming Lips - Quirky.....and I didn't know what to expect from a band called "the flaming lips" back then. I do now. Now, though, I can picture a TV-7 promo with Matt using this song.

So there you go....in my opinion a good soundtrack, even today. It's a little on the nostalgic side, but I listened to it the other day and can remember the feeling I had when it was one of the single digits of CDs in my music collection.

Obviously I just bought it b/c it was Batman....NOT b/c of the Seal song.

But, without this, I would be listening to Billy Joel to this day.

Now, please.....humor me with a comment.
