Today’s song of the day comes from David Bowie and it’s about Bowie’s fascination with Andy Warhol. Warhol himself apparently didn’t care for this song but Bowie meant it as a tribute.
This song came out in 1971. 25 years later, Bowie would play Andy Warhol in Basquiat.
Today’s song of the day comes from 1941’s The Maltese Falcon, directed by John Huston.
She thinks she’s Brenda Starr/her nose job is real atomic….
I love this song. It makes me regret that I was born to late to experience New York in the 70s. “She’s do dull …. rip her to shreds,” is a favorite expression of mine, one that gets me strange looks from people who are not familiar with this song.
Oh well. I can live with the looks!
I’m not even really a Led Zeppelin fan but I do like this song. Most Zeppelin songs go on too long for my ADHD brain but Kashmir always manages to hold my attention.
Today’s song of the day comes from Wes Craven’s infamous Last House On The Left. Of course, many people might know it better from it’s use in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.
This haunting piece of music was composed by David Hess, who played the murderous Krug in Craven’s film.
Today’s song of the day is Bernard Herrmann’s main title track for one of J. Lee Thompson’s best films, 1962’s Cape Fear.
Today’s song of the day is one that I will always associate with Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. Here is War, with Low Rider.
