Saint Etienne Movies

is from Billy Liar iirc

There's a quote by Hayley Mills from Tiger Bay in there too.

http://www.saint.etienne.net/saint/etienne?http://www.saint.etienne.net/ec/songs.html

'i wish they wouldn't laugh' - no idea
same goes for 'do you think a girl should go to bed with a fella...'
-no idea there either i'm afraid.

the style of the soundtrack whereby a song is followed by bits of sample/dialogue/speech/skit
etc. was actually invented by jack nicholson and bob rafelson
for the soundtrack to the monkees' movie 'head', which just
happens to be st. ett honcho bob stanley's fave 60's album.

rafelson and nicholson were sick and tired of the film dialogue
and so decided to splice it up and mix it about while putting
the soundtrack record together so that
it would have it's own 'plot' away from the film.
this is why u then get 2 scenes of dialogue cross pollinated
to create stuff like
'that song was pretty white..'
'yeah well the same goes for christmas'
and such.

subsequent sopundtracks that became famous for that style
(angel heart, american graffiti,
natural born killers, pulp fiction, insert yr own)owe so much
to 'head'.
it's still the way everyone i know makes tapes/cds, and it's all
down in part to jack nicholson..who'd have thought ?

The L-Shaped Room I think.

I seem to remember that it's "Made" from 1975, starring Roy Harper and Carol White.

i still don't know what this is 4 years later.

...also, crucially, starring the excellent Sam Dastor.

According to Wikipedia, they used samples from British films as clearance for US films would cost too much. Wonder how this would sound with American samples.

wonder how much House of Games cost?

Have been enjoying "So Tough" a lot recently. Was pondering that it might have been the last (or at least one of the last) albums bought before I managed to make writing about music my source of income for a decade or so. There's something romantic about it - or, at least, I cared about discovering where the samples were from.
