Lust for life!

So, I was sitting down and thinking "Wow, I love movies a lot. I sure have a lot of soundtracks!" Then I was thinking, "What am I posting tonight?" It hit me: 2 + 2 = 5! (or so big brother says) and I'm going to post songs from 14 soundtracks for 14 straight days. Soundtracks in general are always better if you've seen the movie, so see them. They're all going to be great flicks, trust me.

First up...


My personal favorites of this soundtrack are not the techno tracks but the prime Iggy Pop and Lou Reed selections. After seeing the movie, I can't ever hear "lust for life" without thinking of Renton and Sick Boy running down the street from the cops. Why they gotta be hating on some addicts? Anyways, if you've seen the movie, you know it's extreme and frenetic in every way. The soundtrack however has a few ambient tracks and another one or two that just devolve into techno bass beats for 6 minutes straight. Not my thing. I love the jumpy, pop-sound "Mile End", and it might as well summarize the movie. I really do dig the rock tracks though, excellent picks by Danny Boyle.

Blur - Sing
Iggy Pop - Nightclubbing
Sleeper - Atomic
Lou Reed - Perfect Day (repost, because i love it)
Pulp - Mile End
