Pet peeve: when characters in movies cue up a famous record and the wrong song plays, and/or the songs play in the wrong order. Was reminded of this today by 20th Century Women, where Billy Crudup cues up track 1 side B of More Songs About Buildings and Food only for track 5 to play. (Doubly annoying bc the characters are shown to be dancing and reacting to that specific song, so they knew which cut they were going to use when they filmed it.) (They get the Black Flag song right though.)

First time I remember noticing this was in Royal Tenenbaums when they the listen to Between the Bottons and "She Smiled Sweetly" is followed by "Ruby Tuesday". Does anyone else get bothered by this?

I don't know whether vinyl records are still getting a lot of use as Western Freedom! icons, but A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night works well with this.

In Kauriamki's "Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatiana " the main characters listen to 45's in a car record player.
