Soundtracks
It is my great pleasure to direct this blog's notice to the new 1 Hour of Music in 20 Minutes: Soundtracks which has gone up on abc dig
This one has been brewing for a while, and already it seems I might have to produce a sequel because there is just so much great music that I’ve got from films and this podcast is only about fifteen songs long.
I made myself a mix cd of all these songs while this was being prepared and it struck me repeatedly just how much of this playlist is real honest-to-god favourites. Like Billie Holiday! This is literally where I first heard Pennies From Heaven.
One thing has been bothering me though, I assumed that because the song Via Con Me was used in French Kiss that Paolo Conte was French but then, listening more closely to the song’s lyrics it gradually dawned on me… oh dear, I think this bloke is Italian, and he in fact is, so – my apologies for that error. The way it’s used in the film makes it sound so very French!
Anyway, I reckon it’s a pretty glorious playlist, (especially the Deb Talan song – what a jewel that is!) and I hope you like it!

p.s. there is a lovely film which i saw the other day which has excellent original music written especially for it by dishy young Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondra Lerche - the film is Dan In Real Life directed by my dear Peter Hedges (Pieces of April, What's Eating Gilbert Grape? - novel and screenplay). It's lovely music and a lovely film :)
p.p.s. and here's an interview with Sondra Lerche about making music for the film from Cinematical, if you're interested
