Explosions in the Sky - Greet Death
Hopefully everyone will enjoy the 4th of July in their own special way. I personally took in some explosions in the sky. Not the real band, but the fireworks of course.
However, the band is almost as good as (and dare I say, possibly even better) than fireworks!
And here’s another week of me pretending to be Zach Braff or Cameron Crowe. Although this week’s influence is clearly more Cameron Crowe with me borrowing his choice of the opening scene from Vanilla Sky.
the opening scene - with the protagonist in his perfect world
the strip club scene - where he meets his partner in crime
the planning scene - done in a montage…montage!
the bank heist scene - with band in cameo as customers
the car chase scene - with peugeots, renaults, and vauxhalls
the happy, drugged out scene - swimming in a vault of gold coins
the casino scene - playing pot limit omaha shorthanded
the losing it all scene - with the robbers being robbed
the aftermath scene - anger and going separate ways
the downward spiral scene - depression and lots of drinking
the redemption scene - with an improbably complicated plan that goes off without a hitch leaving everything nicely tied up and everyone happy
the end credits - with the tease of something cool at the end
The movie is a combination of Oceans 11, Ronin, Heat, and Leaving Las Vegas…but happier! 
Here’s the listing of the actual track names.
Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place
Goldfrapp - Ooh La La
Devotchka - Vengo! Vengo!
Spoon - Don’t Make Me A Target
Bloc Party - Banquet Phones Disco Edit
Fiery Furnaces - Straight Street
Wolf Parade - This Heart’s On Fire
My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow
DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World
Elliott Smith - Between the Bars
