"I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a big bright shining star..."

After finding the second part of the Dazed and Confused soundtrack online (I had owned a "hard copy" before; my ex-wife apparently confiscated it), I got to thinking about the songs they left off both the soundtracks to Dazed and Boogie Nights. Then I thought about the fact that they took the songs out of chronological order from the movie. Which led to IMDB. Which led to watching movies to pick out, then make a list of the order of the songs. Which led to what you have before you now: what I call the "Master Editions" of both Dazed and Confused and Boogie Nights; every song played in the movie in the order in which it was played. I consider these to be anybody's basic Introduction to Rock (Dazed) and Disco/funk/wotaveyou (BN) in The 70's. Both contain over 30 songs (Dazed has some choice quotes from the film alongside the music), so go to IMDB to find the track listings.

Kiki re-upped

Here's a re-up of the "Kiki's Delivery Service" with the missing song from the english version, "Soaring" by Sydney Forest (the song that plays during the opening credits).

The Song Remains the Same

I came to Led Zeppelin relativelly late in life, at the old age of 16 (old for a guy who was already becoming a (temporary) metalhead), due mainly to the conservative nature of my mother, who bought into the Christian propaganda that LZ was satanic, especially "Stairway to Heaven". Zoso, of course, was the first LZ album I bought, but when I found the '73 concert film from MSG buried behind a bunch of Duran Duran and Michael Jackson concert tapes in Video Depot in 1987, my life changed.

Funny, to think that many felt that this was not their best live work at all (Richard Cole even said so in his book, Hammer of the Gods) but until the creation of the internet and bootlegs that didn't cost $25 a freakin' CD but rather free thanx to filesharing and Torrents, this was the ONLY LZ concert I had access to, until Live at the BBC and How the West was Won was released. I still think the versions of "Since I've been Loving U", "No Quarter", and "The Rain Song" are the best I've heard so far. The funky visuals from the film, especially "Dazed and Confused", lend a lot as well.

This was grabbed from Utorrents as a FLAC file, which I converted to 320 kbps.








..."This is a song that takes in a manner our forefathers were very used to... The cosmic energy - everyone goes 'YEAH' - BASH!"

"I think this is a song of hope..."

Enjoy!

"...where were you when we were gettin' high?"

This didn't stick with me until later on, although, as everyone else in the U.S., I first heard of them with "Wonderwall". Like Rumours, I had to have something to be depressed about before songs such as "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" meant much to me. In 1996, I simply felt that they were a pretty decent Beatles homage (right down to the Lennon glasses Liam wears in the video). In the past few years, I enjoy them much more, at least the first 2 albums and their concerts from 95-96.








"...don't look back in anger, I heard ya say..."

Enjoy!
