Monday Mixtape: The Soundtrack
Posted by admin | Filed under mixtape
Last year I started to write a short novel for NaNoWriMo but eventually decided it was a fairly mediocre piece of writing and abandoned it to the dustbowl of half finished projects in my bedroom.
Since then I’ve envisaged it as a shakily recorded film, made on handicams with an infeasibly low budget and starring an underpaid cast in a bid to create the whimsical sentiment of Forrest Gump with the neon mysticism of Lost In Translation while somehow conveying a dark Northern Irish humour without the use of Jimmy Nesbitt. None of this is probably remotely possible but to get the ball rolling, here’s the soundtrack.
Writer’s Block Party – B-Movies
Frogger! The Frogger Musical – Paul & Storm
Police Car – Eliza Doolittle
Bad Kids – Black Lips
Stupid Kid – Alkaline Trio
Get Over It – OK GO
Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone…) – The Buzzcocks
Church On Sunday – Green Day
Heartbeat Song – The Futureheads
Chillout Tent – The Hold Steady
No Fit Girls In NYC – Beans On Toast
Tree Hugger – Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants
Is This It – The Strokes
I Remembered What I Was Going To Say – Nada Surf
God Takes Care Of The Little Things – The Boy Least Likely To
