The February 2024 Record Challenge Thread - Silver Screen Edition Part Deux

Day 1: The Princess Bride

I'm actually not familiar with this movie at all, outside of the clip where Wallace Shawn's character drops dead. Instead of playing an album having to do with royalty or castles (of which I have very few), I decided to do some six degrees of separation.

I mostly know Wallace Shawn as Rex from Toy Story, but he also voiced the Principal in A Goofy Movie, a film which also featured an MJ/Prince parody called Powerline, voiced by...

Tevin Campbell - T.E.V.I.N.

Man, you have to see The Princess Bride, it’s great.

A three-fer.

One of my most played records of all-time is The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy.

Sophia Coppola used Just Like Honey in the end scene of the Bill Murray masterpiece Lost In Translation.



We all know live music is better so let's go that way as well. Here's an audience shot video of JAMC doing this song with Charlotte Johansson...

We have all been here before, we have all been here before....

Playing the alternate version seemed especially appropriate given every day in this move is an alternate version.

How is this? I have yet to find a copy in the wild. I love the original.

Sloan - The Double Cross

This is my second most played record per last.fm. The first is Cotton Mather - Kontiki, which I haven't sucked it up and paid for it on the 'cogs.

And if I would have owned this record I would've played it for the video alone!

 
Day 02: Groundhogs Day
Acetone - If You Only Knew

I almost picked a soundtrack from one of his movies. I am not a big soundtrack guy but I own a lot of soundtracks from Bill’s films for some reason, he is even on the cover of 3 or 4 of em. Instead I decided to play something that has been living on my turntable over the past few months. I really love these Acetone reissues.

Play one of your most spun records, whether currently or all-time

Since I started collecting again in earnest back in the teens, this is probably my most spun. I have my old Zeppelin records and other stuff that might be on the all-time list but I'm always happy to put this one on the table.

Damn I love this. Any of you haven't checked this out, if you like funk and raw guitars, this could be right up your alley. Like a mix of songs reminiscent of the Better Call Saul theme, raw Baby Huey type songs and some El Michels Affair soulful instrumentals.
Oh no....
