KEY OF Q: 10 Songs Quentin Tarantino Hasn't Used. Yet. (But might want to.)

 By Bill Sweeney

Not a real mug shot but it plays one on TV.

Among the many stylization signatures Quentin Tarantino's movies are known for, the soundtracks to his films have always been a mesrmerizing trove of re-found treasures. None perhaps more poetically schitzophrenic than the track listings for the Kill Bill movies.

But looking over the songs from his films one can quickly start to gather an impression of music that may fit into the inferred QT esthetic - if there really is one. Simply put, it's easy to hear a song and instantly imagine it in a movie but sometimes you hear a song and know exactly who's movie it should be in. So, here are some tunes I think QT may want to check out, and since it's unlikely he'll see this, why don't you? Let's listen...

MEANWHILE... MCA passed away.

 Normally I do a whole colum. I don't really feel like it. Sorry.

That Song On TV: TOO CLOSE by Alex Clare

By Lauren White

 Call me strange, but I use my television more for background chatter rather than its intended purpose of watching it. Usually an hour or two will pass before I look up and see that some horrible reality cooking show has been playing. That being said, I will ignore most of the commercials that happen during that time period, even if it has some “flavor of the week” radio hit attached to it. A few weeks ago, that all changed.

A strain of sand papery vocals mixed with dubstep managed to jar me from my studying trance and draw my eyes to the television. A closer look at the product being advertised, Internet Explorer 9, led to an eye roll and an immediate return to my work. After a minute or so, I found myself humming the song and racking my brain for any snippet of information about it. A quick Google search for “Internet Explorer 9 song” led to the information I was seeking. The music was the work of London-based singer/song writer Alex Clare. Specifically sought out for the ad by the director, Clare’s work supposedly exemplifies the brand personality of Internet Explorer 9, which is fast and fluid. While you are laughing at the thought of Internet Explorer being any of those things, it is time to find out more about this multi-genre artist, let's listen...
