Going Rogue

The "Pirates of the Caribean: the curse of the black pearl" was a wonderful episode.

Bodkin

Fun enough show about three people making a true crime podcast in Ireland.

Not bad soundtrack, particularly

* The Scratch - "Another round" – great drinking song

* The Murder Capital - "Don't Cling To Life"

Boy Swallows Universe

Series about a boy and his initially silent brother slowly getting pulled into the drugs world of their step dad.

Good soundtrack too, particularly

* Mattiel - "Count your blessings"

Outer Range

Intriguing series over a Wyoming farmer who finds a huge hole into nothingness in his land.

A lot left unexplained, there's a danger of Lost-approach here, but intriguing nonetheless.

Very nice soundtrack.

To check

* Kris Kristofferson - "Casey's Last Ride"

W.G. Snuffy Walden - "On The Road To Kansas"

From "The Stand" (1994) score.

Slightly reminiscent of the Last of Us in its guitar use.

Not all songs are great. 

random stuff, because it's a rainy Saturday

Peter Gabriel - "My Body is a Cage" – from the Dark OST, because Gustavo Santaolalla's The Last Of Us put me in this mood. Wondering how Arcade Fire's version compares. One of the best song build-ups ever.

Reading ROCKSONG by Golnoosh Nour. Peter Gabriel's song is fitting. Good stuff, need to look up a lot of Iranian references.

The Last of Us + The Last of Us part 2

Amazing storytelling and an emotional rollercoaster, both games.

The end of TLOU where Ellie asks Joel about whether she's truly not the only one and upon his lie just says "Ok"

Joel getting killed.

The final fight between Abby and Ellie.

 

Good way to spend pandy xmas.

Also, amazing score.

During the credits, Ashley Johnson (Ellie) and Troy Baker (Joel) cover "Wayfaring Stranger" (famous versions done by Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash)

Only Lovers Left Alive

Forgot how good the soundtrack of this film is. Lots of postrock tracks, done by Jim Jarmusch' own band, Sqürl

making of "Take My Breath Away"

 Composed by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by "a car mechanic".

He also did Scarface.

Terry Nunn auditioned for princess Leia!

the comnments are gold

Dark (s3)

Fortunately there was a recap. Things are still confusing but manage to follow some of the main threads.  Had forgotten how they use a song and silent cuts, one in each episode. Must definitely check out this playlist. (ep 3 has a good one, ep 4 as well)

Warren Ellis - "Because I Was A Girl"

End of the F***ing world (season 2)

Still enjoyable. Took a little while to get into it. Never realized: it takes place in England, but they give it a really American backdrop; empty roads. Small road side restaurants. Dont' remember that from the first season. Also, the guy who did much of the score / soundtrack, Graham Coxon (he's from Blur?) has some nice swamp rock stuff.

random shit i should listen to

A perfect circle Quimby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_UFqw3vm0s&feature=youtu.be Post modern jukebox Lorn - "Anvil" French 79 - "hometown" I am Kloot - "To The Brink"

Gian Marco Castro, Matthew S., Pietro Roffi - "Daydream" (and more)

instrumental, accordeon and lower-echelons instruments... beautiful. Somehow via the Westworld Soundtrack? Also: frank sartain - "evening view" - amazing.

Sex Education

Great series, and some great music.

Chip Tayler and the new Ukranians - "Fuck all the perfect people"
Louis Armstrong - "A kiss to build a dream on"

Watchmen (series)

Amazing series retelling the Watchmen alternative universe. Still don't know what Ozymandias is doing on a moon of Jupiter, but amazing.

Also, great soundtrack. Both songs and score as done by Trent Reznor.

Future Sound of London - "Central Industrial"

The spoken line "Welcome to Central Industrial. We are the future" has been sampled by Future Sound of London in their song "Central Industrial" on their Accelerator album also sampled by Woob in their song "Void, Part One" on the album em:t 0094, and by Jam and Spoon in their remix of Moby's "Go". Sonic Subjunkies samples various parts of the film in their songs "Central Industrial" and "Central Industrial II: The Lockdown".

Dark (season 2)

Second season of the confusing German time-travel series, where a God Particle allows people to jump back and forth by 33 years. Basically it's a bit of an incestuous time-travel, because everyone at the end turns out to be someone's aunt and grand daughter at the same time. A bit too confusing to properly follow, but the dark mood is enjoyable. Also, some good songs (used in the typical slow-motion final-minutes montage of everything dreadful happening simultaneously.)

Agnes Obel - "It's happening again"
Bonaparte - "Melody X"

Killing Eve (series, season 1 & soundtrack)

Quite a fast-paced and fun series about Eve (Sandra Oh) in the British Intelligence Service, who matches seemingly random killings to the same assassin ("Villanelle"), a smart polylinguistic Russian assassin.
Dialogues are almost too snappy at points, but a great thriller forget-everything watcher.

Also, amazing soundtrack

• Pshycotic Beats - "Killer Shangri-Lah"
  crazy female vocals with a 60's vibe including a parlando part right in the middle, against an orchestral backdrop 
• Unloved - *misc*
  Very David Lynch-y, soft female vocals, slow intense beat. Not bad, and moody, but nothing to rave about.
