This is a very cool thread that was started! I'm racking my brains now and all I can think about is how they played a Garbage song in "Melrose Place" which while quite shocking (this was in early days when Shirls and the boys weren't so mega) was also highly appropriate (trashy, glossy, wicked etc).They also played Garbage's magnificient towering "You Look So Fine" on "Dawson's Creek", which gave some dignity to that patchy uneven show. Cibo Matto also performed live on "Buffy" which was way cool (what do you expect, "Buffy" is THE BEST!:)) I remember hearing the wierdest songs on all these footie programmes they have here in Aussie land but again my memory fails me- stuff like Air, Clubbed to Death, Lamb is all I can vaguely remember.As for movies, I can't think of one yet, but will do so and will write back. The problem with movie soundtracks today (esp from America) is that they stuff some really good bands along with obscure crap that no one deserves to hear. Even on great films like "Cruel Intentions" and"Go" they'll have good stuff like Leftfield, the Fatboy (who's everywhere), Placebo along with absolute filler shite. I really dislike this marketing strategy, but probably the best soundtrack I've heard is the "Romeo and Juliet" one tied with "Trainspotting", which unfortunately still has crap, but just less of it. Also,am thinking of buying the Wilco album, "Summer Teeth". Any listee heard it and has an opinion of it? in my stereo: Idlewild: "1903-70" gorgeous piano led whimsy indeed from this SELECT mag compilation Madonna- "Ray of Light" (just borrowed it from a friend and it's GREAT!) Tanya Donelly- "Lovesongs for Underdogs" (one of the best women in alterna-rock's solo debut) Pining for the new Dot Allison single and album seeya Kin Woo On Mon, 12 Jul 1999, Justin Williams wrote:
Although a bit dated it is still highly inappropriate, the movie "The Chase" with Charlie Sheen which contains a Suede song (my memory is failing me at the moment as to which one), and although not really inappropriate but altogether unexpected is the Donovan song "Jersey Thursday" on the soundtrack of Rushmore which I watched a couple of days ago. And I must take this time to vent my anger about the French group Air letting their songs be on Loreal's latest campaign. I think Looper also has one of their songs on an equally detestable commercial (I know this has probably been mentioned before). Sorry for the two posts in a day thing..=P
