Howard Shore‘s own hand scribbled these notes that we’ve been hearing every Saturday nite since the 70′s.
Apparently this song has never been recorded but played every Saturday. Some of the best NY studio musicians have played it at studio 8H at Rockefeller.
I can’t really find it anywhere except on this youtube splice >> (Lenny Pickett on sax — tell me that sound is not ingrained in your head from numerous opening and closing credits)
I like the beat of this song, and also the peanut gallery claps at the end which makes it kinda intimate. Also I think I automatically like the song because right about the middle of the tune a trumpet backs up the vocal which personally reminds me of Broken Social Scene who I heart. Regardless, this is a great lo-fi headphones-commuter tune. Check it out now >>
[12:06] guy1: listen, there are a couple of things you are going to have to face [12:07] guy1: and you might as well just face this one… [12:07] guy1: you’re addicted to love [12:07] guy1: we all know it [12:07] guy1: we’ve seen the marks, the bruises… from the hickeys and the hugs [12:07] guy1: the chapped lips from kissing [12:07] guy1: you need to stop loving [12:07] me: listen don’t make me host a freakin intervention about it. you’re clearly an addict [12:08] me: everybody is tired of orange crush and bagel bites [12:08] guy1: remember that time you embarrassed our entire family when you hugged that homeless man on the street [12:08] guy1: you don’t even know what you are doing anymore [12:08] guy1: its out of hand! [12:08] me: lookin for a love fix anywhere you can. it’s shameful [12:09] me: look, you’re making out with the dog RIGHT NOW [12:09] me: you need help.
This is such a good track. Jason Collett is also a member of one of my favorite favorite favorite bands, Broken Social Scene
Checkout the song “Swimmers” on BSS’s MySpace page. Sung by the lovely and talented Leslie Feist, who is probably most known for “1-2-3-4“, from that iPod ad.
Earlier this year I posted about the SXSW player hosted on the Insider’s Guide site, but Corey Denis informed me that there were licensing issues about releasing those tunes before SXSW started. She just confirmed that it works now, yay:
In the tradition of synching say Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz, someone put Broken Social Scene’s tune “Windsurfing Nation” to a bit of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. I personally don’t think it worked very well, but I freakin’ love that song.
