Comment:
Been in the works for ages, this one - it wasn't easy. Basically, it's an imaginary Tarantino soundtrack - I can't claim to be the expert on the films (shamefully I have to admit that I only saw Pulp Fiction for the first time last month!) but I find the soundtracks really interesting. In some respects, this is an attempt to reflect the sort of things which might be found in your average Tarantino soundtrack - soul (though I mainly paid attention to Northern soul; it was just sounding good!), blues, surf rock, that sort of thing. However, I didn't just want it to be me-trying-to-be-Tarantino, so there are a few red herrings, or songs that wouldn't immediately spring to mind, but after a couple of listens, wouldn't necessarily be out of place on a soundtrack (Air, for example). Then again, the man isn't averse to choosing unexpected tunes either, so basically the lesson here is...Tarantino is a hard nut to crack! Title is (I think) one of the Reservoir Dogs taglines.
Feedback:
looks cool to me
nice idea, i especially like 2 and 5. i think the thing with tarantino mixes is that he just used really great songs.
I think you really nailed the Tarantino style. I read your comments first and then looked at the tracks and I thought I'd be able to guess many of the selections (or come close) but you pulled out some left of center cuts, which is just what makes the Tarantino soundtracks so damn cool. You especially hit the mark with 2525, the NY Dolls, Scott Walker, the Montenegro, and Green On Red (a fave song of mine and I can totally see it working in a movie). Very nicely played.
I never much liked Pulp Fiction 'cept for Travolta & Thurman's dance and of course Harvey Keitel and I've yet to see Kill Bill but Tarantino does have a knack with sndtrcks that no other film director has with perhaps the exception of David Lynch...I do like Northern Soul, Scott Walker and a bunch of others on 'Let's Go To Work.' Good Stuff.
Perfect.
Exactly what Curtis said.
Great selections. This surely has a certain feel.
holy crap! looks like alot of work... but well worth it, love 11-20 especially.
great. and ditto what valis said.
