i am ready, i am ready, i am ready, i am fine...

Known to some but more to few, I almost went to film school out of high school instead of A&M. I used to be a huge admirer of film, but over the years music has filled up more of my time.

I still have quite a few strong views about film. One thing I like to consider of state is about my love for when film and music can merge into one being of just utter genius. A clip where the music fits so perfectly with the actions on the screen, you believe that no other song could be placed there.

Here are some favorites:

Fight Club-last scene-song: The Pixies "Where is my mind?"



Cruel Intentions-the first-song: Counting Crows "Color Blind"



Half Nelson-at a loss over a lover gone: Broken Social Scene "Lover's Spit" (Feist Version)



The whole Half Nelson movie is scored by broken social scene. It is an example of sheer beauty; how the two intertwine to tell a heart wrenching story of friendship, lonelyness, and trying to survive.
