What is it? It’s an imaginary soundtrack series. Essentially I curate a playlist of songs I think would fit into my favorite director’s films. You download, listen, repeat, enjoy.
Volume 1: Sofia Coppola
Volumes 2, 3, 4: Jim Jarmusch, Cameron Crowe and Michel Gondry
Volumes 5 & 6 : David Gordon Green and Miranda July
Volumes 7 & 8: Noah Baumbach and Quentin Tarantino
Volume 9: Wes Anderson
Volume 10: Spike Jonze
For the three people that care, upcoming playlists may or may not include (depending on my mood) Paul Thomas Anderson, a second Tarantino edition, Vincent Gallo and that’s all I’ll reveal for now (ooooh, secretive; like you give a rats ass). Suggestions are always, always welcome.
3.28.o8 update: In my A.D.D.-ness I’ve started to work on and come relatively close to finishing my Judd Apatow mix. Those that would like a rough, in-progress sneak peek can go here: theplaylist.muxtape.com. It’s not in any real order and will invariably change. Muxtape died and was shut down.
10.30.08 long-overdue update: We lost two ipods and then suffered a hard-drive crash. Don’t keep your fingers crossed that any new ones will hit soon, but eventually, lots more will surface.
