I LOVE THIS SHIT! :: MUSIC IS MY RADAR

MIAMI VICE : Auto Rock - Mogwai

At the time of writing, I've only seen this film twice. It's clearly telling me that it's a brilliant underestimated flick but it's hard for me to hear it. This moment, however, is clear as crystal.

127 HOURS : Festival - Sigur Ros

When I first listened to this song back in '08 or '09, I knew that it would be used to great effect in a movie one day.

THE GREY : The City Surf - Jamin Winans

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO : Orinoco Flow - Enya

What kind of torture is this???

THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS : Needle in the Hay - Elliot Smith

Whoops...

COLLATERAL : Ready Steady Go (Korean Mix) - Paul Oakenfeld

Not just fitting for nightclubs, but for the perfect tension on the latest target and attempted raid.

DRIVE : Nightcall - Kavinsky

What a fitting track to set the mood.

THE END OF EVANGELION : Komm, Susser Tod - Arianne with Shiro Sagisu

I love irony...

THERE WILL BE BLOOD : Convergence - Jonny Greenwood

It just keeps building and building and building and BOOM!

FUNNY GAMES : Bonehead - Naked City

You almost think it was on the CD the family was listening to. Then it keeps going, then stops...

THEY'VE GOT MAH VOTE! :: 85th OSCAR PICKS

Like a good deal of people in similar situations, I'm usually unable to see all the films nominated. This is either out of restrictions and/or laziness. Though unlike last year where the Best Picture & Director winner was the only one I had yet to see before the day, this year I've now seen all nominees for the main two.

Now these picks aren't chosen out of what I predict is going to win, but what I'd personally vote for. I've purposefully neglected adding some of the categories, most notably Animated Film because of the 5 nominees, the only one I've seen is Frankenweenie.

Like many attention seeking assholes I will be live-tweeting the event as it unfolds on @mrfist126.
