Comment:

This is the 3rd of a group of mixes made for a trade w/ boogichild; this is the imagined soundtrack for a sequel to the film Six String Samurai. If you've seen the film then you know what this should probably sound like. There are a lot of tracks from about 3-4 bands here but the songs really kinda stayed true to the feeling I wanted here. If pressed for a quick run-through the story line (which is improbable, I know) it's typical boy meets girl, loses girl, goes across the country and through the desert, samurai-swording baddies at dives along the way, culminated by a big exibition of skills in guitar, a final sword-fight w/ death, and then....the surprise, girl was not ever lost, just out doing her thing, but comes back just in time to rescue the Samurai and helps him kill death for the very last time. Yunno, typical movie fare

I really liked the movie except for that awful annoying kid. Great mix.

I love the movie- the annoying kid is funny... all those 80's post-apocalyptic flicks had annoying kids... Thunderdome, Warriors of the Wasteland, etc. The Red Elvises are one of my favorite bands, too.
This sounds like a great soundtrack for a sequel. I love the Tom Waits track and I'm a big SCOTS fan. It sounds like this movie would have him heading from Vegas to Memphis, with all the southern tinged tunes. Fun mix!

The picture chosen for this cover originally had the annoying, Davey-Crockett hat wearing kid. I cut-n-pasted him out....good thing I guess

Nice mix. I liked the soundtrack better than I liked the movie itself...there's only so many times you can watch a guy slo-mo his sword through somebody before it gets old. This looks kickin', though.

Missed this the other day. This looks very cool (although I haven't seen the movie) as do some of your other mixes. Let me know if you'd like to trade sometime.

Yeah, I am a NYU film grad but admit I never did catch this one. I better go out and get it, huh? In any case, this continues with the good mixing skills. Haven't listened to it as much as the others yet, but I really like the Southern Backtones. Saw them open for somebody cool (can't remember right now) in our old homestate a couple years back. Forgot how good they are! I'd love it if someone would do a road movie from Vegas to Memphis! My kind of fun!
