During the last weekend I couldn't resist to watch Quentin Tarantino's movie death proof once again. It is the story of mad stuntman Mike (Kurt Russel) who murders young women with modified cars. Like in every movie by Tarantino there is a bloody final but the main thing is always the conversations of the main actors. This conversations start moderate like many others and often drifting into obscurity. In most of his movies the soundtrack is superb. Combining old and well known songs from the past from different genres into a coherent music tape. Most of the first half of the movie was performed in a pub in Austin where the main actors were celebrating a birthday. And I always am astonished how great these songs work in the movie.
T. Rex - Jeepster
Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich - Hold Tight
Pacific Gas and Electric - Staggolee
And the legendary lap dance to the sound of The Coasters Down In Mexico
