Ask me my opinion of any fannish topic. Show, character, storyline, meta issues, kerfuffle, you name it. I am fearless! Just don't get mad at me if you don't like what you hear, man.

(also, somewhat randomly, I keep meaning to post my Wesley and Boromir mixes but I keep getting distracted from uploading the music. Fail, me.)

Velvet Goldmine...is one of those movies I love really passionately because of how ridiculously over the top it is. I own the illustrated screenplay and the soundtrack and way back when, we put together this two disc soundtrack set of...stuff. Songs from the movie, songs from the era, stuff like that. And I can't even say that I'm a huge fan of that era/style of music, but there's something about the story that Todd Haynes was telling and something about the way he told it and the way he pulled things together that's this really interesting story about fame and relationships and music and the business of music and promotion that all just really really worked for me. Plus there's glitter.

And OH COBRA STARSHIP. They are totally my second favorite after FOB, because they share that sort of...they share this mindset where they're like, okay, where did the fun music go? And they are shamelessly pop and shamelessly...shameless and utterly ridiculous and they're having fun and I love them all so much, I can't even say.

What was on this two disc soundtrack? It sounds nifty!

The first disc had the movie versions of the songs, quotes, the audio from the trailer, and stuff like that. it had "Dead Finks Don't Talk" which is seriously one of my favorites from what was played in the movie, JRM singing "Sebastian," the full cut of Ewan's "Gimme Danger" and...mostly it was the movie versions of the songs and quotes. The second disc had either studio cuts or alternate versions of songs by the original artists. Like, it had Bowie's "Velvet Goldmine," Iggy Pop doing "TV Eye" and "Gimme Danger," and stuff like that. Next time I see you, I will bring you a copy ('cause I didn't rip all of it when I imported into iTunes, but I have the cds).

Speaking of, did you ever get around to watching Planet Terror?
