Quentin Tarantino's Playlist
Back in August James King gave Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds 5 stars in his review. If you missed it in the cinema over the summer then you needn't worry as it's out on DVD & Blu-Ray on the 7th Dec.
We've managed to get our hands on a load of the tunes that Quentin listented to whilst in production for the film, ranging from Bowie to Britney. Instead of keeping it to ourselves, we thought we'd share it with you, our lovely internet based friends.
So here it is, some of the songs QT was listening to while making the movie.
Wu Tang Clan - The Rules
"One of the songs that I used to play a lot just to pump me up."
Katie Tunstall - Hold On
"...I actually made it a point not to bring an mp3 player...so I just kinda had what I had and I would just supplement it from time to time by a quick stop at this music store...But one of the CDs that I had was the Katie Tunstall CD Jurassic Fantastic and so I was listening to the song Hold On a lot."
Britney Spears - My Prerogative
"This was a little bit of an anthem to me when I was filming in Germany"
Bob Dylan - Political World
"I'm a huge huge Bob Dylan fan... one of the songs that I would play just a whole lot and played in the car on the way to work from time to time was the first track from his album Oh Mercy, Political World which once you get into your head you can't get it out."
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
"I really like singing songwriters. I was writing my scripts and I actually fell in love with this song but I think the whole planet earth ended up falling in love with it, but I have to say I fell in love with it earlier than most and I actually in particularly like the acoustic version that first came out..."
Barbara Streisand - Stoney End
"I would only ever hear this randomly when they would play it on an oldies radio station and you go man I love that song and that's a great song."
Robin McNamara - Lay a Little Loving on Me
"Another song in the same oldies but goodies seventies kinda vibe. It's one of those ones you cannot play it once it's like its gotta play at least twenty times before you get sick of it."
Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call
"I love the story of the song. I actually remember before I even knew what it was I was in the Philippines on a radio show and said, 'Hey what's the song where the guy comes home and somebody's with his wife and he attacks the guy?' And they go oh that's Wake Up Call."
Douglas Quintet - Mendocino
"One of the things that I got when I was doing my new movie was this box set from a Texas blues group from the sixties called Sir Douglas Quintet. They are a really cool."
David Bowie - Putting out the Fire
"When listening to this all of a sudden it occurred to me that not only would it be good to use in the film but even the lyrics of the song mirror the character of . So much so, that I had to find a way to use it with Shosanna. It could even play in like interior monologue and would actually describe her story very well. I think its hands down the big musical set piece in the movie, it's one of the big things in the film and I am very proud that Mr Bowie let me use the song in the film."
Roy Orbison - There Won't Be Many Coming Home
"...one of the only songs on this whole list that actually has a bit of a war theme to it. I never quite put it in a war perspective because some friends of mine did a special video tape where they took all the murders ever done in the Friday the 13th movies and cut them together to this song ... so every time I hear that song I just think of Jason"
Steve Pulse - Waterfalls
"One of the songs that I listened to when I was doing a lot of writing"
