Day 8: A song you like that's used in a movie


Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Music For A Found Harmonium

sooooo many films have this, but most don't know who it is.. here we are, the Penguins, the original ones (Simon Jeffes' son Arthur now heads the Penguin Cafe).
One of the finest pieces of music ever written, as Jeffes wrote it, it's not a traditional tune.
The harmonium was found, on a street in Japan and the song was born.

Mark Knopfler: Going Home

Theme tune from the Movie Local Hero.....stunning scenery in this video

I love this movie, and I love this soundtrack. Bill Forsyth does such beautiful work. Add in a very young Peter Capaldi and a mermaid? One of my favorite little films ever.
 
Day 7: A song that makes you feel energized

Oh, too many choices 😭 I'm struggling here, this is 90% of what I listen to 😂 But we're just less than two weeks from summer up here in the northern hemisphere so let's fucking go.

Hayley Kiyoko - for the girls
Are you a Bachelor fan by any chance? Becca Tilley’s appearance at the end of this video and their kiss at the video release party were iconic
 
Day 8: A song you like that's used in a movie

In Zack and Miri Make A Porno this song is being played when characters are talking about gay porn. Well, talking is a little too firm here, more like “talking around”, they certainly took their time beating around the bush with this one lol

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

Oh, I love Bronski Beat. Age of Consent was a favorite in high school.

This isn't the first song I thought of, but it was the first movie. I love The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of The Desert so much. I grew up in a rural town kind of like the ones depicted in this movie and it feels pretty representative of Aussie country life.

I would have loved nothing more than having a big silver bus full of drag queens descend on my town 🤩
