FILL IT IN !!!

Top soundtracks, and the films are quite good too.

Films are ace right, but sometimes the soundtracks can make it or break it. There's nothing like a brilliant film with a phenomenal soundtrack, it makes a big difference. If theres a boss bit in a film and the song playing at the time is amazing you remember the scene with the song playing in the back of your head.

Anyway here's some boss soundtracks, in no particular order......

Pulp Fiction (1994)

"you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?.....They call it a Royale with cheese"

If you've seen the film, then A) You know it's boss and

 B) You'll know this tune and the dance off by heart. It's iconic.

Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell

Other great songs on the soundtrack include:

• Kool & the Gang - Jungle Boogie 
• Neil Diamond - Girl, You'll be a Woman soon
• Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man
• Al Green - Let's Stay Together

to name but a few

Trainspotting (1996)

Control (2007)

Ace film about Joy Division, if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching.

Joy Division - Atmosphere

Really chilling scene, perfect song absolutely exquisite. 

Of course the soundtracks rammed with Joy Division records so it's brilliant anyway

Jimmy: No, Kev, that's it. Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown."

Couple of different songs from The Who featured in this clip

Other ace tracks:

• Booker T and the M.G.s - Green Onions
• The Kingsmen - Louie Louie

Little Indie Night Channel 13/5/14

Each week the Little Indie Night residents select a few tunes & heres a few more for you. Some selected with care ... others at random.

Courtney's back!

I dropped this track in this week's Channel, but it's got a video today, which is well worth a look. I'm astonished by how good this record is, after a somewhat fallow decade from Ms Love. She's reformed the best line-up of Hole as well, I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll be doing. Ironically, this single has blown up much bigger than she expected, so the promotional efforts will be delaying Hole's return...

Solution to the Monday blues.

It's Monday, and don't we all know it. 

 Lets forget about what day it is momentarily...
Bop your head, tap your foot or even throw some shapes...Just don't sit still.
 Play the game, here are some 'Up Beat' tunes to get those little hips swaying.

Enjoy
