The 6OGs ring in the new year of 5784 with something of a look back. The new album choice sounds like it was recorded 50 years ago, the live show album came out 32 years ago, and then OG Brian rips off 18 incredible choices for “needle drop” movie songs, i.e.
That was a great list of needle drops! Of course, you could make a whole list just from Goodfellas...like when Henry is driving around like a madman to Nilsson's Jump In The Fire...or the dead bodies piling up to the coda from Layla. Scorcese is really a genius with that kind of stuff. P.S. Still no love for Sky Blue Sky - not even Impossible Germany or Hate It Here? Two of their best songs, IMHO...
Thanks! So many good scenes to choose from. After it was published, the one I wished I had remembered to include was the “Tracks of My Tears” scene from Platoon.
As for Sky Blue Sky, I know I’m in the minority on this. Been called out for this take before. But I find it a little sleepy. The songs you mention are indeed terrific live, but I don’t hear the same energy on the album.
Perfect Day by Lou Reed (Trainspotting), fer crissake.
