Movies, N: Natural Born Killers/Napoleon Dynamite

From Natural Born Killers: "Ted, Just Admit It...," Jane's Addiction

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Do I like Quentin Tarantino? Let's see, he penned the screenplay for my "N" movie (although he seems to have disavowed any link to the finished film) and he wrote/directed my "P" and "R," so, yeah, I guess. This Jane's Addiction song was one of the first bass lines I learned after acquiring a four-string many, many years ago. — cwc

From Napoleon Dynamite: "Canned Heat," Jamiroquai

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: OK... this movie is SO old. My mom fell in love with it, so it played in my house almost every night after she saw it the first time. Regardless, Jamiroquai is used in movies all the time. If there's a dance scene, you can pretty much expect one of his songs to be featured. — BJ

Movies, O: Office Space/Orange County

From Office Space: "Shove This (Jay-Oh-Bee)," Canibus w/Biz Markie

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Of course I wanted to use "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta," but that would have required some serious editing... — cwc

From Orange County: "Shadow Stabbing," Cake

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Geez. It was SO hard trying to choose between this and Crazytown's "Butterfly." I'm still not sure that I made the right decision.

By the way, this movie was pretty stupid. It's like people in Hollywood say, "Let's make a movie and add Jack Black -- then we can call it a "comedy" and the kiddies will eat it up. Bastards. — BJ

Movies, P: Pulp Fiction/Private Parts

From Pulp Fiction: "Son of a Preacher Man," Dusty Springfield

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Great song. Two albums you should have: the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, and Dusty's Dusty in Memphis. — cwc

From Private Parts: "Brass in Pocket," The Pretenders

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: It's the King of our air wave land, Howard Stern. Thanks to him, we can hint at masturbation on the air. Actually, Chris usually sits in the studio with his shirt off to make the program a little more shocking. Thanks a lot, Howard. ;) — BJ

Movies, Q: Queen of the Damned

From Queen of the Damned: "Excess," Tricky; "Change (in the House of Flies)," Deftones

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Brittany and I decided to double up on the Queen of the Damned. Take that how you will. — cwc

I've never seen this movie; needed a Q movie and I love Tricky. So I'm including a clip of Tricky performing the song.



DJ Comments: I've also never seen this movie, but here's to remembering Miss Aaliyah. Also, the Deftones fcking rock. Here's a video for this very interesting song. — BJ

Movies, R: Reservoir Dogs/Royal Tenenbaums

From Reservoir Dogs: "Little Green Bag," George Baker Selection

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Great bass intro, and an iconic movie moment using this song. See below. — cwc

From Royal Tenenbaums: "Fairest Of The Seasons," Nico

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: This soundtrack is so unbelievable. I'm pretty sure this is where I first heard Elliott Smith's "Needle in the Hay," which I listened to thousands of times in high school. So, we have Nico, Elliott Smith, the Ramones, The Clash, Bob Dylan, etc... It's just so damn good! — BJ

Movies, S: Singles/Scream

From Singles: "Drown," Billy Corgan Experience (aka Smashing Pumpkins)

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: This song, which preceded Siamese Dream and followed the outstanding Gish, showed the world that feedback rules. — cwc

Great scene from Singles with Stone, Eddie, and Jeff from Pearl Jam:

From Scream: "School's Out," Alice Cooper

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: School is officially out, Kids! Congratulations to all those who graduated. Oh, wait. That includes me! I'm done, bitches! — BJ

Movies, T: Trainspotting/True Romance

From Trainspotting: "Perfect Day," Lou Reed

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: What better way to backdrop a movie about heroin than to have Lou Reed sing about perfect days? Obi-Wan likes the junk. — cwc

From True Romance: "Chantilly Lace," The Big Bopper

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: God, this is probably the fourth movie today that I haven't actually seen. Does that make me a bad person? I'm sure Rober Ebert would hate me. "Two thumbs down, Brittany Jade. Two very big thumbs down." — BJ

Movies, U: Upside of Anger/U-Turn

From The Upside of Anger: "Passenger Side," Wilco

DJ Comments: By nature, I'm not a big Wilco guy, but this isn't bad. This movie is quite good, to be honest. What sort of gene pool results in daughters as hot as Alicia Witt, Keri Russell, and Erika Christensen, though? — cwc

A clip from life in the radio station!

From U-Turn: "Your Cheatin Heart," Patsy Cline

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: I believe Chris's words were, "I refuse to see this movie just because everyone else is slurping it off." Needless to say, I've never heard of it. I do love Patsy Cline, though. I hate new country, but I love old country -- especially the fabulous Miss Cline. — BJ

No, no, the movie everybody is slurping is Once. It can't be as good as the gushing suggests. — cwc

Movies, V: V for Vendetta/Vanilla Sky

From V for Vendetta: "The Girl from Ipanema," Stan Getz/Astrud Gilberto

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Hey, another actor from the Star Wars prequels looking terrible. Portman can't blame it on heroin, though. (Enjoy the great jazz tune we pulled from this flick.) — cwc

From Vanilla Sky: "Everything In Its Right Place," Radiohead

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: I hate Tom Cruise. I have nothing else to say about this movie. I did not see it because I really, really, really do not like Tom Cruise. He can eat an alien ****. Well, let me rephrase that. I hate Tom Cruise past the 1980s. I like Risky Business.— BJ

Movies, W: The Wall/Wayne's World

From The Wall: "Goodbye Blue Sky," Pink Floyd

The album

DJ Comments: I remember being really sad the first time I saw this part of The Wall. Quite a beautiful song. — cwc

From Wayne's World: "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: I still pull half of my weekly conversation from Wayne's World one-liners. For instance, this last week I used both "Extreme Closeup" and "'Hey Wayne, my arms are getting kind of tired holding this.' 'That's what she said.'"

And what song represents Wayne's World more than Bohemian Rhapsody? I don't think there is one. — BJ

Movies, X: The X-Files/Xanadu

From The X-Files: "Hunter," Bjork

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: There's a Cure song on here, but I didn't pick it. Amazing show of restraint by the old man. (And it's not the best offering from the Cure, so there's that.) — cwc

From Xanadu: "Xanadu," Olivia Newton John

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: You thought the first time we played this song (during the covers show) would be our last, didn't you? Think again! X-titled movies are hard to come by these days. — BJ

Movies, Y: Yellow Submarine/You, Me and Dupree

From Yellow Submarine: "Yellow Submarine," The Beatles

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: When I was in grade school, we used to sing this song in music class. For whatever reason, we decided to sing it as Green Submarine. Best explanation: it rhymed. It makes way more sense than this movie. — cwc

From You, Me and Dupree: "Funky Cold Medina," Tone Loc

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Chris and I were going to pass over You, Me and Dupree as a possibility for the show. We were sadly mistaken when we pulled up the Amazon.com list of music. — BJ

Movies, Z: Zoolander/Zodiac

From Zoolander: "Relax," Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: Ah, the '80s. I loved this song. Actually, we could lose the "d" from that verb. I see some shitbag group covered this song for Zoolander. Bah. Luckily, the original is not cast aside. — cwc

From Zodiac: "I Want To Take You Higher," Sly & The Family Stone

Movie soundtrack

DJ Comments: And that's the end of the Spring 2008 Alphabet Soup show. Hope you enjoyed listening and that our stupid, pointless rambling wasn't enough to drive you away. — BJ
