The May 2023 Record Spin Challenge: Silver Screen Edition

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 11: Taxi Driver
The Men - New York City

An album that took it’s title from the dirty grimy Big Apple that barely exists anymore.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 12: Shawshank Redemption
Tool - Undertow

Because sometimes “The Sisters” got the best of my friend, Andy Dufresne.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 13: Saving Private Ryan
The Lemonheads - Come On Feel The Lemonheads

This reissue is nearly perfect the only (very minor) gripe is that they went away from the original album artwork. I get why they did it, as the OG art was more focused on Gen X poster boy Evan Dando than the band as a whole but still I prefer when they keep things as close to the original as possible.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 14: The Hangover
Willie Nelson - Both Sides Now

“I Gotta Get Drunk” seems appropriate.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 15: Dr. Strangelove
The Smiths - Meat Is Murder

The cover is an obvious reference…

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 16: Flirting with Disaster
The Grateful Dead - Boston Garden 05/07/1977

What a long strange trip it’s been.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 17: Jaws
Surfer Blood - Astro Coast

Not much of an explanation needed on this one.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 18: Crimes and Misdemeanors
Beck - Mellow Gold

Soy un perdedor.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 19: This Is Spinal Tap
Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman

80s Ozzy was certainly an inspiration for Guest and Reiner.

31 There Will Be Blood
"I'm finished."
Play something with a great final track

Sun Ra – Nothing Is...


Besides being a great little ditty "Next Stop Mars" makes a particularly great final track for this month's challenge and heading over to the Ziggy Stardust-infused challenge for June!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 20: The Shining
R.E.M. - Out Of Time

Different kind of “Shine”, equally as frightening?

 

[4080]

Day 29 Fight Club
"On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" - Narrator
Interpret how you wish
OR
Play something about time or survival

I'm going to spin Da Grass Roots "Passage Through Time" because it's a stone cold Canadian hip hop classic, or at least in my house it is! Also thought about looking to see if I had the "Father Time" 12" by Saukrates, another Canadian hip hop classic, also came to mind!

Not the actual video

Bonus:

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

31 There Will Be Blood
"I'm finished."
Play something with a great final track

Good times @ranbalam

The last song on The Black Crowes - Amorica...

 

[avecigrec]

Thank you @ranbalam for this fun cinematic challenge. Giving myself the subchallenge of only playing Sun Ra and Sun Ra-adjacent records definitely made a couple of these prompts extra tricky, but I really enjoyed the challenge - and the spins I got out of it!

Day 21: Caddyshack
Dinosaur Jr. - Without A Sound

First though was the excellent “Feel The Pain” video.

 

[4080]

Day 30 Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
"Ohhh. Great warrior. [laughs and shakes his head] Wars not make one great." Yoda
Interpret how you wish
OR
Play something about warriors or space

Warriors you say? How about Dream Warriors? Yet another Canadian hip hop classic, in my house and on Buck 65's CBC radio show, that I haven't listened to in forever, time to break out the cassette!!

Not a single but a great track none the less

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 22: The Usual Suspects
Father John Misty - Fear Fun

Father John Misty is a solo artist with a made up persona

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 23: The Breakfast Club
The Meat Puppets - Huevos

Meat (preferably bacon) and Eggs are my ideal breakfast.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 24: Rushmore
The Kinks - Kinda Kinks

Rushmore is my favorite or second favorite movie of all time (running neck and neck with Raising Arizona). I am bummed I don’t own the amazing soundtrack on wax, I own a few other Wes Anderson Soundtrack but not this one, hopefully it will get reissued here soon. Anyways, I own Kinda Kinks, which features a song used perfectly within the film.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]
