Wash ,'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
The theme to The Venture Bros. would totally fit in there, right? It's by Steroid Maximus, one of J.G. Thirlwell's projects.
It's definitely inspired by that era of spy soundtracks. It's more dissonant than most of the sixties tracks, though. The Harvey Birdman theme also pulls from this genre.
I love the Havery Birdman, Attorney at Law theme. The random "Habeus Corpus" thrown in for no reason....
Uh-huh.
"Do you really want to feel him"
You know the Harvey Birdman theme came first? The show was based on the song.
I forgot to bring the Joe Boyd disc home from work, but I have to go up there this afternoon or tomorrow, anyway, so I'll rip it and post it then.
Hi. I'm never in this thread, but I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I accidentally bought the "clean" version of Black Parade off of iTunes. Do I need to beat myself up about it? Buy the real one also? Not care?
This is basically my introduction to My Chemical Romance - while I've probably heard them before, I haven't knowingly sat down and listened to them.

Do you mean you bought an edited version of the entire album, or just the single of "The Black Parade"? If it's just the single, don't worry about it. If it's the entire album, you really should have the "real" version. While a cleaned-up-for-language version of the album shouldn't be hugely different, I can't really imagine it. (And I've been listening to The Black Parade a lot. Um, really a lot. Hello, I have turned into a raving My Chemical Romance fan. goes back to checking iTunes to see if the video for "Famous Last Words" is available yet. )
Thanks, Jilli, it's the whole album. Re-buying now.
Sean's spy mix
How about adding the theme from Peter Gunn?
He was a private detective, which is sort of a spy, I think. And they used his theme for the videogame "Spy Hunter."
How about adding the theme from Peter Gunn?
He's getting a separate crime jazz mix which is where I'd put Peter Gunn. Except, Peter Gunn isn't on that mix because - even though it's definitive Crime Jazz - it's so well known as to be hard to hear in context. And I've got about three or four other tracks that are similar, but less well known.
It's sort of the same way I wouldn't put "Bang a Gong" on a Greatest Hits of Glam Rock mix. I'd rather put "20th Century Boy" or "Hot Love" or "Jewel" or "Solid Gold Easy Action" as my T. Rex pick.
Of course, I undermine my own argument by including both the "James Bond Theme" and "Mission: Impossible theme" in my spy mix, as they are equally iconic.
