O Brother, Where Art Thou? - I Am a Man Of Constant Sorrow

Down in the River to Pray

Just a great film, probably one of Clooneys best and the music is fabulous and I'm not that big a fan of bluegrass. Alison Krauss is just perfect, what a voice.

every time i hear the word bluegrass... all i picture is the blues brothers... "slyne booked us in here as a bluegrass band.... Bluegrass?? yeah, Riders... duck gimme a mountain tempo in D minor".. and then proceed to play ghost riders in the sky.

i gotta watch this movie it looks great, and i've never really seen any proper clooney, he was a little before my time.

RIP Aretha. She was rightly inducted into the Femmes Fatales HoF. What a legend.

And this movie is fantastic.

What a track. Wasn't it later covered in the 90s?? Was it Boyzone or something?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @0b1CoinObi 18 Mar freebie

Yes, I'd forgotten that Boyzone did a cover for Comic Relief in 1999. It went to number in the UK as well as the original.

What an Icon and such an Iconic track.

“I AM” is my response to Ava DuVernay’s film 'Origin'. It is about the reclamation, reconciliation and reconnection to our identity, our language and the origins of who we are and where we come from. By knowing who we are, we are then able to know where we are going. This is how we unlock our greatest power. I AM is taking back the power and giving it back to the people.

Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo toku māpihi maurea. My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.

Since he hasn't used it today, I'm stealing @0b1CoinObi 's submission to the 🍀🇮🇪 St Paddy's Day 🇮🇪🍀 thread yesterday and I'm going with:

The Commitments - Try a Little Tenderness

I won't post the movie clip as it has spoilers. Here's the track from the official soundtrack. A fabulous film with an amazing soundtrack!

I chose this track as it has such feeling to it and just fills your soul 🤩🤩

Thanks for reminding me of this 0b1

Might be my favourite movie song.

Yeah absolutely top shelf track for movie soundtracks.

That and Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone.

Top shelf tracks.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 18 Mar

Danger Zone is a great track but when I was in my late teen years I spent most of my time in the summers at Canada's Wonderland and they had a Top Gun ride that blasted that song for 15 hours a day. Got a bit sick of it.

Paramount owned the park at that time so they had a bunch of movie themed rides but Top Gun was the newest and coolest ride at the time. It was made to simulate a fighter jet. That ride is still at the park but it's called flight deck now.

those sort of things can make you really sick of a track really quickly. i can't listen to oli murs or even bruno mars or pharrell williams without flashbacks to working in retail... every 15minutes "because i'm happy..." stop.. cmon man... stop why you do this to me 🤣 play something else anything else. but it is unfortunate that songs like that that are really good, just get so over played that the enjoyment in them just gets sapped away.

One of the great movies of the '80s. Tom Hulce and F Murray Abraham are brilliant. I recently played this clip for the fam as they hadn't seen the movie, just pure magic. Great cinema and music, the best 5 minutes you can waste today, enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jlQiHHMlkA

As someone who was highly involved in musical theatre in high school and college (my minor actually is vocal performance), I've always been a sucker for Broadway musical soundtracks.

Les Miserables was the first film version of a Broadway musical to actually use live vocals in the movie. Normally, the actors would record the soundtrack in studio and then lip sync during the scenes. Les Miserables broke barries by doing this and they did it with the actors wired with a small almost invisible ear piece in one ear with a piano instrumental. Later in production, a full orchestra recorded in studio and was added to the actors vocals. It was done like an actual stage show, where the pit (orchestra) follows the vocalists instead of the singer following the instrumentals.

Les Miserables makes me cry, everytime. Bring him home just smashes me right across the face.

Beautiful piece of music. Musical theatre has some of the most incredible vocalists and musicians. My personal favourite is Phantom, I got introduced to it after watching Nightwish perform phantom live. And Markos vocals added a creepy, sinister element to the phantom which I didn't find in the movie itself.

It's here if you want to see what I mean.

There's also a version by Jonathan Young & Malinda Reece, which is much darker.

Let me know what you think of those. Would be cool to get vocal performance minors take on them.

I believe Tiffany came up in Femmes Fatales... But if she didn't, she absolutely deserves a place in the Femmes Fatales Hall of Fame.

I've never watched The Umbrella Academy. Perhaps I should, I loved that crab dance, made me giggle.
