Cashew’s March Soundtrack
(A few times a week the TRAffIK team will take turns telling you what we’re listening to)
by: Cashew
I usually don’t mess with playlists too much, and if I do, they are usually my own demos which I repeatedly listen to for research. Or ego. Or something. I’m always writing, see? And I want to make it better.
But what I usually do is throw my iPOD on shuffle and it pretty much runs the gamut of my tastes.
1. “Everyone Knows That You’re Insane” – Queens of the Stone Age
These guys rawk it for me. I wish I played lead for them!
2. “Late In The Evening” – Paul Simon
I had quite a big Simon playbook phase when I started writing. This is pure syrup, but I like it.
3. “Aus der Tiefe rufe ich, BMV 745″ – JS Bach
Sweet, sweet Johann and the sounds that came from his mind. Makes me feel proud to be human.
4. “Fast As You Can” – Fiona Apple
Odd choice to pop up. Eh, she’s OK. Still in my IPOD?
Deltron 3030 Recommended: M83’s “Saturday = Youth”
Genius. This album is like your own personal movie soundtrack. That is if you lived in the 80’s and were a star of a low budget, set in the not too distant future, Sci-Fi movie…that happened to be directed by John Hughes. Think Blade Runner meets Near Dark meets Solar Babies with a hint of The Breakfast Club
…. for your ears.
I know I know, it sounds too good to be true but trust me! Listen to “We Own the Night” and tell me you don’t see what I see!
Side note: If you don’t know any of these movies please reply back to this post and say so. I need to know who I should be silently judging.
