VIDEO GAME (FAR CRY 3: BLOOD DRAGON)

Synthy dance music with an overlapping voice of lyrics.

Lo-fi retro-synth chords pulsing with reverb guitars and snare snaps. Heavy 80's vibe.

The Bixby Knolls - 'Tomorrow Never Comes'

GARAGE ROCK POWER POP





Fuzzy guitars and a jumping snare with a solid bass. And lyrics strung together like pearls of honesty.

"Got me hiding from the sun..."

From Tomorrow Never Comes (2014) by El Camino Media.

(Magic In The Moonlight) - Bix Beiderbecke - 'Big Boy'

FILM (MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT)



Woody Allen's "Magic In The Moonlight" has a wonderfully supervised soundtrack. While "You Do Something To Me" composed by Cole Porter but performed by Leo Reisman & His Orchestra functioned as the main theme to the film, "Big Boy" really made driving scenes memorable and fun.

Simply listening to the tooting trumpet and bouncing bright piano reminds me of the sunny scenes of the characters driving top-down by the South France seas. Now THAT is coasting.
