The Playlist - WTITYB (Whatever, Tell It To Your Blog)

Since i spend a lot of my free time daydreaming of film scores to imaginary films, I thought I’d try and put this useless hobby to good use and  pretend to be a music soundtrack supervisor.

So, The Playlist (the name of my ipod; myself) have decided to make scores/soundtracks to imaginary films from existing filmmakers.
In honor of the upcoming "Marie Antoinette" film, i decided to choose Sofia Coppola’s as my first subject..

The premise of the series is this: Choose a filmmaker known for their soundtracks and pick songs that i subjectively think might appear/would be perfect in one of their films. The selection process sometimes consists of a) artists already used in previous soundtracks/artists the filmmaker is historically fond of, b) songs i think that fit the vein of the tone and mood of their previous films.

I had a lot of fun working on this pet project so i figured people might want to hear it. I’m sure some music aficionados would argue or have their own opinions and in such cases i encourage them to create their own soundtrack mix.

Each month (or sooner depending on how busy/lazy i get). A new filmmaker will be chosen and a new series mailed out to you all (unless of course you don’t want to be on this email, fair enough). Feel free to suggest any filmmakers, but the usual suspects are already in the works.

Anyhow, here it is. The 2-disc collection.

I recommend listening on the Ipod while you’re walking around the city and imagining how these songs would be used in one of her movies.

I hope you enjoy.

* the tracks are mp3s downloadable from sendspace in winrar file (same thing as a zip program) and should be pc/mac compatible. Let me know if you have a problem, but download a free winrar program at winrar.com if you don’t already have one. It’s easy peazy. I may try and send a winzip/YouSendit version if it demand is great enough.
