90% Badass / 10% Avril Lavigne

Saw Best Coast at Mercury Lounge a couple nights ago. Great show (aside from the Avril Lavigne bits). Her music goes very well with French films from the 1960s.

An iconic director has passed away. He leaves behind a legacy of great movies. And he also had a lot to do with picking the soundtracks for these movies. Here are some songs that he used in such flicks as “The Breakfast Club”, “Uncle Buck”, “National Lampoon’s Vacation” series, “Weird Science”, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, “The Great Outdoors”, “Sixteen Candles”, “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” and others.

General Public- Taking the Day Off

Dr. John- New Looks

Dream Academy- The Edge Of Forever

Spandau Ballet- True

Oingo Boingo- Weird Science

Beverly D’Angelo- Hey, Big Spender

English Beat- March of The Swivelheads

I like the film’s tag line: Sometimes it’s the things we fight about that bring us closer together. So true, friends…so true. I also really dig the soundtrack – Italian covers of classic 60’s tunes (which I’ll try to track down), and these two numbers from Nada Malanima:
