I’ve been really enjoying the Red Hot Organization’s “No Alternative” and “Dark was the Night” recently, both because they raised a lot of money for AIDS research and because they do a great job of capturing the 90s alternative sound and 00s indie sound respectively, and it’s got me thinking how much I love compilations generally for how they can give you an impression of a place/time/music scene. Any collections like that you think I should know about?
Do soundtracks count? If so, O’ Brother Where Art Thou? And Grosse Point Blank
GPB was quality
GPB is such an underrated movie. Banger soundtrack, great action sequences, funny jokes, Minnie Driver, Joan Cusack, Dan Ackroyd… It’s got everything!
