Alright, it’s been enough time for the Name That Tune contest. There has been some good responses to it so I’ll be doing it again, but for now you can see who they were.

In other awesome related news, you can now go into the settings for muxtape and your listening to my mix will then be scrobbled to your last.fm profile! Everyone will know that you listened to a remix of a Bee Gees song! Honestly, if a song you listened to isn’t scrobbled to your last.fm, did you really listen to it? Are you sure? It’s very similar to the tree falling in the woods, but no one to hear it type situation.
It’s a very modest title, I think.
the opening scene - artsy shot, panning over snow covered mountains
Stars - What The Snowman Learned about Love: I felt that the beautiful instrumental intro really conveyed a lot about what this fake movie was about.
the protagonist introduction scene - lots of strobe lights
Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch: one of my favorite tracks off of Witching Hour, our protagonist is your typical rebel without a cause, with no cares in the world until…
the masquerade ball scene - with the actual band performing as a cameo
Beirut - Elephant Gun: watch the music video, that’s what the scene looks like in my head
the courtship scene - with their steps syncing with the song
Spoon - I Turn My Camera On: the mixture of Britt Daniel’s voice with the constant bass in the song just exudes cool, which is coincidentally what the protagonist wants to do
the sexy scene - but not showing too much because it’s a serious film
Air - Playground Love: an amazing song that says a lot in a very understated way
the happy scene - lots of smiles and bunnies
The Polyphonic Spree - Light & Day/Reach for the Sun: the spree are a bit TOO happy, but it works as our unnamed protagonist and his love interest frolic through the flowery fields
the break up scene - who didn’t see this one coming?
Muse - Time is Running Out: I almost selected the song I chose for the post break up, I felt that a more angry song was suitable and Matt Bellamy’s wailing does the trick
the post break up scene - undescribable; it’s really sad, okay
Beck - Lost Cause: Beck made Sea Change after a breakup, and honestly I could have picked any track from the album and stuck it in here, oh god it’s so sad
the driving scene - through the desert, while contemplating
M83 - Moonchild: M83’s majestic soundscapes really give the feeling of the openness of the scene, and how empty the protagonist was feeling
the oh my god, i’m about to die scene - cue the flashback
Metric - Live it Out: our protagonist dies by driving off a canyon or ravine or something high up, and during his slow motion fall, he flashes back with this song
the funeral scene - with very light snowfall
Moby - When It’s Cold, I’d Like to Die: an incredibly beautiful, depressing song, there would really be no dialogue, just the song providing all that’s needed to evoke emotion
the ending scene - fading into credits
Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely: on a similar vein to the previous song, I could have switched their positions and been happy with the result
I think I may have thought too much about this.
