Soundtrack Posts – Going Up Starting Tomorrow

Just a quick reminder to let those of you intending to write something about movie soundtracks for the Great Toad Reader Exploitation Challenge that I am going to start posting those tomorrow.  I’m going to post them on a first come-first served basis, starting with Crash tomorrow, then Ian from Edinburgh group Broken Records and Nate from The Young Republic, both of whom have been nice enough to write something for this little feature.

So, anyone who still wants to participate, it’s simple: bung me an email with a piece about soundtracks – either a specific one or a trend in soundtrackery, whichever you prefer – along with a couple of relevant mp3s to accompany the post.  I will then post them as part of a series over the next couple of days.  You should probably write in the order of a few hundred words I suppose, and if your attachments on any one email exceed 10Mb let me know, as it won’t get through and we shall have to make other arrangements.

Original post with a bit more detail here.  And a big thanks to those who have already sent their stuff through.

Here are some bits from the soundtrack to the rather harrowing Dead Man Walking:

Tom Waits – The Fall of Troy
Eddie Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan – The Face of Love
Johnny Cash – In Your Mind
Lyle Lovett – Promises
