As I’m wont to do, I created a playlist to go along with this beast that was Bad Neighbours.
This one is a little more tongue-in-cheek and less moody.
This one is a little off.
This one was more general theme than specifics. The Mungk, I tried to fit specific songs to each scene; for Boor/Aghast, more of them had an overall thought to them. Joey could have applied in multiple places, as could White Trash Millionaire (and how could I pass using that, given the content?) I couldn’t find anything for between Dylan and Stewart; perhaps it’s my dissatisfaction with the scene. I considered Queen’s I’m Going Slightly Mad, but it felt like soft on soft on soft, and out of place. I had intended on ending with Walter Lemon’s turn to militancy and Dre, but then I had a waking dream about Walter Lemon, in cartoon form, taking his revenge on his enemies during end credits to Katy Perry, up to and including the orange menace.
Whether that would ever make it in a movie form is debatable; if that idiot’s still in charge, it would probably be lock-up for everyone involved, since, you know, fucking fascist.
It’s of questionable taste anyway. I’m not a person who advocates violence, but I am a person who hates fascism, and authoritarians of any stripe. I believe a good punch in the face would probably solve a lot of problems. Consequences, especially early on when problems first arise, can solve a lot of shit.
Anyway: Enjoy my weird pretentious liberal/80s crotch rock blend. Like a pumpkin spiced latte someone’s peed in.
