OMG I SPENT ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS
Why yes, I'm obnoxious enough to do this. Even if you have no interest in Inglourious Basterds, this still may be worth your while as I've compiled a variety of artists such as Ennio Morricone, Grace Jones, Ultravox, Concrete Blonde, The Church, etc.
Under the cut are the full-size cover image, tracklist, lyrics, and link to download.
1. Ennio Morricone - Un Amico (Versione chitarra 12 corde) - Lyrics
Un ami reste toujours un ami
If you didn't know before that Un Amico has lyrics and Ennio composed different versions for the same film (Revolver), you do now. Vocal is by singer/actor Daniel Beretta. This version is just Daniel and an acoustic guitar; only the last verse of the song is sung.
2. Charles Bernstein - Paul and Samantha - Instrumental, from the film Deadly Friend
3. INXS - Suicide Blonde - Lyrics
Suicide blonde
Was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan
4. Grace Jones - I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect For You) - Lyrics
Had we met at a different time we’d be perfect for each other
Now were spending all our time, in this world apart together
My heart is aching, from all the love we're giving
We're not faking, is this the life we're living?
5. The Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way - Lyrics
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
6. David Bowie - Because You're Young - Lyrics
He punishes hard - was loving her such a crime
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive
7. Real Life - Exploding Bullets - Lyrics
Stand close to me my little friend
It's so hard to see let's not pretend
There's danger in the night for you and me
There's men with armalite who kill for free
8. Iamx - Spit It Out - Lyrics
Pleasure for pleasure
It eases consequence
And love for a fall
But I know you love to take a risk
9. Riz Ortolani - Crucified Woman - Instrumental, from Cannibal Holocaust
10. John Farnham - Innocent Hearts - Lyrics, from one of Tarantino's favorite grindhouse films, Savage Streets
No more innocents
No more innocent hearts
11. Suzanne Vega - Left Of Center - Lyrics
I think that somehow
Somewhere inside of us
We must be similar
If not the same
So I continue
To be wanting you
Left of center
Against the grain
12. Ultravox - All Stood Still (12 inch version) - Lyrics
I suppose it's a bit of an odd choice, but I relate it to Shosanna and Le Gamaar.
The black box failed (The codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed (The keys got lost)
Everyone kissed (We breathe exhaust)
In the new arcade (Of the holocaust)
13. Charlie Sexton - Beat's So Lonely - Lyrics
Wanting him only
But the people never see
Her heart burning
That's the secret that she keeps
14. Green Day - 21 Guns - Lyrics
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
15. The Church - Under The Milky Way - Lyrics
And it's something quite peculiar
Something that's shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the milky way tonight
16. Ingrid Michaelson - Die Alone - Lyrics
Kiss the boys as they walk by, call me their baby
But little do they know, I'm just a maybe
Maybe my baby will be the one to leave me sore
Maybe my baby will settle the score
17. Concrete Blonde - Heal It Up - Lyrics
Feeling the fire under my feet
I was a liar
You were a cheat
Playing with knives
We were cut close to home
Close to the bone
You're so alone
18. a-Ha - The Blood That Moves The Body - Lyrics
It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
19. Suede - The Next Life - Lyrics
See you in the next life
When we'll fly away for good
20. Ennio Morricone - Un Amico - Lyrics - Trailer for Revolver, the film it was written for.
Full track, vocal by Daniel Beretta.

Chiaki turned 25 on October 10. She has such stunningly unusual features that get better and better as she gets older (sort of weird, but I can generally pin-point her age in photographs based off of her facial features). Her acting career hasn't been terribly stellar and she's not considered very attractive or marketable in Japan, either. She wants to work more in America, but her management agency sucks. I need to get a copy of GS wandârando, which takes place in the '60s and focuses on the Japanese mod scene; she plays a girl who poses as a boy. And other than smut posts, I could also post pictures from her Princess photobook where she posed as princesses from European and Japanese fairy tales. I could ramble about her for ages, but I'll refrain for now.
YES. Before Fredrick came strolling in, Adrian Veidt was the only awesome German character in my life (though I do like mimicking Hans Grubers' "OH GAHD!") And cinema has been lacking in great women for a long time and Shosanna fills that void spectacularly.
I never did tell you about an acquaintance of mine who is friends with QT. Said person runs an annual horror film marathon at this little theater (original film prints and everything) and QT has helped him and the organizers out many a time. Long before meeting this fellow, he escorted QT around the city and QT then proceeded to max out his credit card on vinyl records and laserdiscs.

I really have to rip Richy Guitar for you (the sort-of Die Ärzte film), because Fredrick reminds me of Richy, and not just because a) they're both German and b) I want to do them both.
See, we need to escort QT around a city (any city) and have tea and max out credit cards. How good would that be?
And I just finished watching Privilege - yes.
YES!

She really is quite talented, but has been cast far too often as a tragic character; at this rate, I'd love to see Chiaki in a romantice comedy. She and Diane should team up together and QT should write something awesome for them.
We should! I'd talk his ear off, even though according to Daniel, you just can't win in a film discussion with QT. However, I'd love to have QT and my dad talk about spaghetti westerns and other film oddities from the late '60s - early '70s. My dad has seen many films from that period when stationed in Okinawa, but has forgotten titles; many film nerds have been stumped by him.
HOW AWESOME IS PRIVILEGE? Oh, Steven ♥

It's almost spooky how relevant it is, considering the Disney kids. And the music! *downloadz*
(I just checked your profile [~stalker~] because you said you were a teenager in the 1990's, and we're the same age. The More You Know!)

I had quite a few bootleg dvd sites bookmarked a few years ago and I loved going through them and seeing what would catch my eye; it was this still of Steven Shorter, followed by the film's description that intrigued me:
After getting a copy from videobeat, I watched it twice in one day and I could not and still cannot believe that there isn't a wider audience and more acclaim for Privilege. Whenever I talk with other filmbuffs who adore the obscure, this one still stumps them; Privilege is still too obscure (and there's only one surviving film print, which can be rented for showings, so that means that not even QT has a copy).
Audiences back then were horrified by and I looked up the ridiculous review for it in Time, as they found the premise absurd. Seventeen magazine hated it because their demographic was ridiculed in the film. Privilege came out right on the verge of Beatlemania and if it had perhaps come out in the early '70s it may have done better (though people found Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise ridiculous in 1973, too). For years Privilege was classified as science-fiction because the notion of celebrity-worship was considered ludicrous.
What really inspired Watkins to make the film was the short documentary Lonely Boy with Paul Anka and something his friend and actor Terrence Stamp said, "All celebrities think they're God."
As for music from the film: http://www.box.net/shared/7lz5qgnnf7
Also, note to self: Must make double-feature out of Privilege and Phantom of the Paradise.
One last note; my dad recommended the film A Face in the Crowd starring Andy Griffith, similar to Privilege but the character becomes the opposite of Steven: he instead becomes drunk on the fame and power.
