I MADE A MIXTAPE YA'LL. Well, I collected the songs from Daniel Handler's
interview about what songs he would pick for his heist-caper film, and BOOM. This is the results.
I know my dear Rachel will praise me like I'm Jesus (do it!). Excuse some of the song quality. I had to rip most of them from youtube videos. The ones without lyrics here are instrumentals. It's also on
tumblr, so reblog it or whatever.
Main theme/Voyage to a secure location
Saint Etienne | Urban Clearway
The mark
Marianne Faithfull | The Blue Millionaire
There is no such thing as the wrong man
Moral justification for robbery:
Sam Phillips | Shake It Down
When the spirit leaves you lost and weak/ Shake it down, shake it down, shake it
Planning and correction of mistakes:
Tom Waits | Jockey Full Of Bourbon
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain/ And I've been drinking from a broken cup/ 2 pairs of pants and a mother vest/ I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up
Execution of the plot:
Nina Simone | Sinnerman
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? / Where you gonna run to? / All along dem day / Well I run to the rock, please hide me
Unexpected complications:
John Barry | Death Of Fiona
Alarms are sounded:
New Order | 5 8 6
I see danger / On the corner sent by me / Shadows the ways / Straight away you ran from me / I heard you calling
Threats of violence:
Primal Scream | If They Move, Kill ’Em
Arrival of the law:
The Clash | Police On My Back
Car chase:
Grace Jones | Warm Leatherette
Feel the crushing steel / Feel the steering wheel / Warm Leatherette melts / On your burning flesh / You can see your reflection / On the luminescent dash
Celebration of escape:
J.C. Davis | Monkey
The glittering prize:
Ferrante & Teicher | A Whale Of An Aquarian Finale At Sea
Lingering melancholy doubts:
The Chromatics | Kill For Love
In my mind I was waiting for change / While the world just stayed the same / Everybody’s got a secret to hide / Everyone is slipping backwards
