I'm organizing a blogathon inspired from last year's hugely popular "Desert Island DVD" (by Andy of Fandango Groover). This time, it will be a "Desert Island CD". The concept is very simple, you are stranded on a desert island with only one CD (and a CD player etc...). What are 12 tracks that you would want to have with you? While those can be pop song, instrumentals etc... we are all movie bloggers so there is one requirement that each track comes from a movie soundtrack. Of course, you should give a little blurb for each to explain why as well as try to post YouTubes if possible/necessary.I know it's early, Castor, but I had nothing else to write today. Here are twelve of my favorite songs (and an additional eight to even things out).
"Lujon", Henry Mancini
"There Is an End", The Greenhornes
"There There", Radiohead
"I Know What I Am", Band of Skulls
"Little Green Bag", George Baker Selection
"Midnight Creeper", Lou Donaldson
"The Man with the Golden Arm", Elmer Bernstein
"The Pretender", Foo Fighters
"Take Me Out", Franz Ferdinand
"Witchy Woman", Eagles
"I'm Alright", Stereophonics
(There's a cool Stanley Kubrick tribute set to this song.)
ADDITIONAL EIGHT
"Folsom Prison Blues", Johnny Cash
"The Godfather - Waltz", Nino Rota
"Moonlight Sonata", Ludwig van Beethoven
"Chasing Cars", Snow Patrol
"Smooth", Santana
"Strange Brew", Cream
"So Alive", Love and Rockets
(There's a really freaky horror movie compilation set to this.)
"Between My Legs", Rufus Wainwright
