River ,'Objects In Space'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I've got the original ep by David J. for This Vicious Cabaret (V for Vendetta)
I have that!
and the soundtrack by Victor Banana for Clowes' Velvet Hand in an Iron Glove.
I regret never picking that up. But isn't it "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron"? t /pedant
"Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron"?
I'm sure it must be because even as I was typing it out I thought, "Scola is going to correct me about this. Or Tommyrot. Or maybe that pedant, Jon."

It's not that great really, despite my fondness for Value Ape. Mostly cheesy synths - which are not inappropriate for that comic.
I could post it on Buffistarawk if people want but half of the fun is just owning the object itself.
I do have a number of fairly odd indie lo-fi soundtracks, many of which are good for One Cool Song. I love the theme for El Frenetico and Go Girl. The Teenage Tupelo soundtrack is really a fantastic slab of instro rock by Impala. (How cool are they? They wrote a song titled "Don't Ride With Arnold Friend.") And, of course, the Pervirella soundtrack LP is on gorgeous pink swirly vinyl.
The Punk Bug that bit me oh so long ago was the Repo Man soundtrack. Still haven't seen the movie all the way through, but man did I love that soundtrack.
Tony Wilson has died. I didn't know until today that he was my birthday twin.
Repo Man & Suburbia makes a great double feature. You can go all day and add in Liquid Sky and the shrimp theme carries over.
the BBC on Tony Wilson: [link]
Oh. Sad now. I just realized who Tony Wilson was. Do you have to be born the same year to have a birthday twin? I'm highly doubtful that you're 57, Jon.

Jon is actually 58.
So what, was that Video Killed the Radio Star vid filmed twenty years ago? It must be the lighting.
