The Music Makes The Movie.......2004-07-02
A wonderfully mixed bag.......2004-06-02
Which brings me to the soundtrack. All throughout the coffee houses in the movie, songs are playing on the jukebox. It's hard to hear most of them, and except for Crimson and Clover and the two versions of Louie Louie I didn't recognize many of them. There is an emphasis on tunes from the 60s and 70s and a general sort of fun garage rock party vibe (Iggy Pop, Parliament) to most of the tracks, which make me a little disappointed that there aren't any White Stripes songs on here -Jarmusch's tastes clearly lie in that direction, since Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell On You" was featured in Stranger Than Paradise.
If you're already familiar with a lot of this music, this CD probably isn't worth getting. But it's unlikely that many people are, considering that it ranges from funk to jazz to Mahler (a beautiful song, maybe the loveliest he ever wrote). Like many cooler-than-thou directors, Jarmusch only seems to let himself get sentimental when it comes to music, and delivers many of his most emotional moments through songs instead of onscreen. It's not always clear if he's being serious (or, let's say, totally committed) when he writes his movies, but his soundtracks are a labor of love - sort of like Tarantino's, but dipping into an even widen pool.
One of the nicest phrases in the movie is Tesla's idea that the world is a conductor of acoustical resonance. What does it mean? I dunno. Maybe you can listen to the soundtrack and figure it out.
