You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up at the crack of dawn with a searing pain in your upper back. Now, I know what you're all thinking: Well if you didn't sleep on your couch all the time you probably wouldn't have back pain, dumbass. That's all well and good, but the idea of sleeping in a bed that isn't enclosed in a separate room freaks me out, so I prefer to fall asleep to the sweet, sweet musings of Conan O'Brien, America's dreamiest late night talk show host. Fear not, I will be moving in 7 days to an apartment with a real bedroom. Plus, I don't even have a couch for that place yet so the problem is pretty much solving itself.
Anyways.
I finally got around to buying the soundtrack to "Deathproof" this weekend. Let me tell you, if there is any album to listen to on a hot night with the windows open while you pretend to pack but really just dance around in your undies while you try on clothes you've found in the recesses of your closet, this is it. Its got the perfect mix of sultry (Good Love, Bad Love by Eddie Floyd and The Love You Save by Joe Tex) and seedy (Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich and Chick Habit by April March*). Plus it has excellent sound clips from the movie, including one of my favorite bits where two dudes try to get these ladies to go home with them by buying two rounds of Jager shots. Ah, Jager. The choice of date rapists everywhere. All in all, totally worth the $16 and the guilt of buying music retail at borders.
*April March is apparently this girl from NYC who made up a french-pop-y alter ego for herself. Though I do not condone singing cutesy french pop unless you are both cute and from france, the cover art for "Chick Habit" (see above) is totally awesome and I will probably steal the idea if I ever put out a single, so I guess that makes us even. For now..........
