Do you guys remember the music store The Wall? They gave you little stickers that you put on your cd for a lifetime replacement warrantee. Then they immediately went out of business.

There's a 10th anniversary edition of the Drive soundtrack that's up for pre-order on Amazon at $27.99 if that's still a thing people care about. I imagine it'll have a more wide release if Amazon isn't your thing. Due out October 8th.

My copy of the Drive score is golden and took loving forever and a day to track down. Wish I could find another Neon Demon. And Clear Spot’s where it’s at when it comes to Captain Beefheart. Fest update: wait a year or two to go back. People are on a warpath trying to have as much fun with as little regard to those around them and the meltdowns I ran into we’re some ugly loving vibes. And good god, drink the dang water. Worth it. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Sep 13, 2021 |

I own both Drive on blu-ray and the soundtrack on vinyl, but ironically have only ever watched the old work print with the Tron Legacy soundtrack in place.

It was a lot of peoples introduction to synthwave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHYaj6EHfJg&t=556s You can watch the entire opening to drive or skip to 9:16 for the credit sequence. That Kavinsky track really took off for him. Drive, Hotline Miami and the small resurgence of appreciation for John Carpenters soundtrack work really kicked the Synth back into the spotlight. That entire Drive opening tbh might've done it on its own, but that Hotline Miami soundtrack is a barn burner.

It was good but not as good as everyone made it out to be. Only God Forgives and Neon Demon are better movies but Drive is more popular because it's much more accessible than those. The latter film especially pissed people off because it was hot on the heels of drive and the Gosling/Refn teaming got everyone expecting something more like Drive and it is very much not. There is a bit of similarity in the main character and the themes but Only God Forgives is a much drearier and slow burning film. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Sep 14, 2021 |

Stopped by a local record store for the first time since the pandemic and saw this bootleg of Gorillaz' Demon Days Instrumentals for about $38 that I am very tempted to go back and get. There were also multiple copies of Floral Shoppe new for over 50 bucks each.

I'm always tempted to grab one, since it's kind of THE vaporwave album and my collection feels like it's missing something, but...I actually am not crazy about the album itself, despite being so iconic. Maybe for $30 or so!

I just want them to flesh out that argument so I can have some idea what we're talking about. In about 2000 there was a great movie starring Harvey Keitel and Stephen Dorff about a gangster who righteously avenges himself on a fellow gangster that double crossed him, tell me how Drive is better than City of Industry.

I know this is a long shot but if anyone happens to have the Over the Garden Wall OST on vinyl and is willing to part with it, I’d love to buy it from you - I’m looking to get it as a gift for my partner in time for Christmas.

I don't agree with the claim that Drive is highly influential but things don't have to be especially good to be influential. The aforementioned Trout Mask Replica is a good example. But plenty of works end up better than the thing that inspired them even if the original piece isn't necessarily bad. Neo noir was hardly original in the 90s never mind when Drive came out.

Well yeah, I don't want to confuse influential with good. I think maybe if I'd watched it with better speakers it may have made a lot of difference, maybe I will.

I'm certain you're right and if I went to theaters to watch movies I'd have a more positive take on it. I've only been to crappy theaters, only a few times in the past decade and it's mostly been dumb action movies, which have led me to not be too eager to go see more. That Dolby, the subs under the seats or whatever, I haven't experienced that stuff done right too often. This movie might have been different.

Just posting this here because I had asked for an in-stock alert and it’s back in stock! https://www.coleminerecords.com/pro...=15851220402278 Just a badass session that I’ve been waiting to be back in stock for a long time. Sorry for the long URL, I’m on mobile and just got excited.  Check the YouTube link on that page if you want to give it a listen. Pretty sure that’s the “warm up” session, but it’s great. Anyway I was bummed because it was so drat expensive on Discogs but this was only $25. Yay

Drive probably is my favorite movie of the decade (Hell NWR is my favorite currently working director), but the most influential of the decade? Naaaaaah. That lady suing for false advertising over the trailer was hilarious though.

I like to post and then not read the thread for a day or so. forgive me for dropping that apparently spicy take and dipping out lol. I think Drive was mostly influential aesthetically. Drive really set the tone for a bunch of the synth wave/vaporwave internet culture stuff for the 2010s. also stuff like John Wick, and Atomic Blonde really go in on that color scheme/grading look that Drive really nailed down. In terms of aesthetics most of the stuff I associate with the past decade was really affected by drive. Hotline Miami even references Nic Winding-Refn directly in the credits. I guess you could argue one of the marvels is the most influential but they’re all so bland, they look like tv shows. Maybe in that everyone tried to have a “cinematic universe” for a minute, but I genuinely can’t think of a single movie that had more of a long lasting impact recently than Drive. Also I do like the movie and love the soundtrack. It’s nice.

Drive really strikes me as one of those "a meh movie but a sick-rear end 2 hour music video" like Tron Legacy was; am I correct? Or is that unfair to Drive? (Maybe it's because I haven't seen the original Tron, but Legacy was zzzzzzzzzzzzzz whenever there were extended dialogue scenes.)

The movie is alright standing alone, but yea that soundtrack really adds an extra depth that accentuates the movie overall. It's definitely no Thief which I think is the most common comparison point, but its not bad in any regard.

In boring standard news for the thread I gots a vinyl today: Got lucky and got my favorite color, yellow. Got super lucky and it didn't get crushed by a seven pound book in the same box. Won't have time to listen to it for a bit though, I hate being so busy doing nothing at times.
