My postmodern c.d

I've order the tracks in order of what i would never listen to ever again, but at one point loved to songs that i could listen to over and over again no matter how old they are, because of the memory i have with them.

The Incline Of “Cool”

1. Tragedy – Steps.
I did a dance to this in year 3. Awkward,

2. I’d Do Anything For Love – Meat Loaf.
I was obsessed with witches when I was little, so I dressed up like a witch and danced to this.

3. Wannabe – Spice Girls.
I used to pretend to be baby spice, because we’re both called Emma.

4. Keep On Moving – Five.
Parties always had this song and I remember dancing with the baby friends.

5. Bring It All Back Now – S Club.
BEST club ever invented in the history of the world!!!

6. Baby One More Time – Britney Spears.
“What do you want to be when you’re older Emma?” “Britney Spears.”

7. Cry Me A River – Justin Timberlake.
My sister got me tickets 5 years ago to see him. Beautiful man.

8. Shake It – Metro Station.
Summer 2008, with Abbi and Georgy and we were obsessed with this song.

9. Breakeven – The Script.
My text tone for a good… 2 years?

10. Hot ‘n’ cold – Katy Perry,
My guilty pleasure!! AMAZING live too. Beautiful lady!!!

11. Horchata – Vampire Weekend.
A summer spent with Chloe and we didn’t know the words, only the opening paragraph so that’s all we sang.

12. Buck Rogers – Feeder.
When my Dad was thinking about getting his first Jaguar, me my brother and sister sat in the back of his Mercedes singing this song over and over.

13. Breakfast At Tiffany’s – Deep Blue Something.
Dad’s influence upon me. Always on his car C.D and played when I was little.

14. Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve.
Again, Dad to thank for this.

15. Weather With You – Crowded house.
My all time favorite Crowded House song, because of the memories that come with it. The whole family singing this in the car in some rubbish holiday destination when it’s raining.

16. Sweet Disposition – Temper Trap.
Without a doubt my favorite song ever ever ever!!!! Gives me goose bumps.

17. Spanish Sahara – Foals.
Taken from the best thing channel four has ever come out with, MISFITS!! Ahhh, love it.

18. Glockenspiel Song – Dog Is Dead.
At the minute, my addiction.

The reason i picked these songs is because i have the best memories with them, and even though when the cheesy songs come on, and i change them over, part of me still wants to listen to them because they remind me of a good time.

I didnt pick any upsetting songs, or songs that remind me of something i'd rather forget, because i don't want to look back at something and be upset by it.

Cheesy weesy.

Spaghetti Western

"Spaghetti Western, also known as Italo-western, is a nickname for a broad sub-genre of Western film that emerged in the mid-1960s, so named because most were produced and directed by Italians. The language in which the movies were originally released was Italian as well.

The typical team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish[citation needed] technical staff, and a cast of Italian, Spanish, German and American actors, sometimes a fading Hollywood star and sometimes a rising one like the young Clint Eastwood in three of Sergio Leone's films. The films were shot in inexpensive locales resembling the American Southwest, primarily in central and southern Italy, such as the parks of Valle del Treja (between Rome and Viterbo), the area of Camposecco (next to Camerata Nuova), characterized by a karst topography, the hills around Castelluccio, the area around the Gran Sasso mountain or the Tivoli's quarries, but also Sardinia and the Andalusia region of Spain, Almería at three main studios, Texas Hollywood, Mini Hollywood, and Western Leone.[1]

Typical themes in spaghetti westerns include the Mexican Revolution, Mexican bandits, and the border region shared by Mexico and the United States"

Blaxploitation

"A genre of American film of the 1970s featuring African-American actors in lead roles and often having antiestablishment plots, frequently criticized for stereotypical characterization and glorification of violence. While African-American filmmakers were substantially involved in making early movies in this genre, their participation in subsequent productions was minimal."

Reviews on Inglourious Basterds

"As titles go, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is one of the very best. Partly lifted from an obscure 1978 flick by Enzo Castellari, its eye-grabbing, demented heroism puts it right up there in the pop cultural pantheon alongside the Sewer Zombies song 'They Died With Their Willie Nelson T-Shirts On’ and Lionel Terray’s 1963 mountaineering book 'Conquistadors of the Useless’. Tarantino’s always been a genius at hooking moviegoers. The chopping off of a man’s ear, lead-performers outfits so cool they kickstart fashion trends, a canny use of tunes so cheesy they wouldn’t be heard on a Guilty Pleasures dancefloor and of once-famous actors whose careers were on life-machine-support status: the director brands his films with a rare attention to detail. Inglourious Basterds abounds in pointillist detail. There are obscure movie allusions designed to tickle the fancy of the sternest cinephile. Close-ups of women’s shoes so gorgeous they’d melt Anna Wintour’s heart. Delightful bite-sized riffs – on apple strudel! – that rekindle memories of Tarantino’s reputation-defining dialogues about cheeseburgers in Pulp Fiction."

"Inglourious Basterds not only knows that it is a fictional movie, but also that it is being watched by an audience, and herein lays its greatest achievement."
"Tarantino is at times like a flamboyant, egomaniacal orchestra conductor, gesticulating wildly and turning to the audience to make sure we know that the show's about him."
"Simply Tarantino's best. A very intelligent script that combines war movie elements with some pointed observations about violence in movies and in society"
