SONGS IN FILM: THE SMASHING PUMPKINS- DOOMSDAY CLOCK IN TRANSFORMERS

Back in 2007 when the Michael Bay Transformers movie was about to come out, it was a big deal. Technology in film had finally reached a point where a live action Transformers movie would actually look good and hopefully be good as well. The end result was a decent movie that gave us all Megan Fox!

The soundtrack to the movie though is probably better than film. The Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, Idiot Pilot, HIM, The Used, Disturbed and more. The Smashing Pumpkins song featured was “Doomsday Clock” from their very underrated 2007 album, Zeitgeist. When it’s used in the movie it’s in a very great spot and its riff heavy intro is a great use of the song in an action scene.

Enjoy this great song from The Smashing Pumpkins!

SONGS IN FILM: LOU REED- THIS MAGIC MOMENT IN LOST HIGHWAY

Ever since I went to see Nine Inch Nails a few days ago, I’ve had the Lost Highway soundtrack on repeat. It’s a fascinating soundtrack filled with great bands and artists like Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, David Bowie and Lou Reed. I’ve been a Lou Reed fan since I was a little kid, thanks to my mom playing Lou’s solo albums and of course The Velvet Underground. I haven’t seen the film Lost Highway in a while but I will always remember it. The twisted, dark, and mystery of David Lynch’s is masterful and quite possibly the most underrated film of his career. There are a slew of great scenes in the film with music accompanying it perfectly. One such scene that has always stuck out to me was this one with Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty and Robert Loggia set to the song “This Magic Moment” by Lou Reed. Though it’s actually a cover of The Drifters and Jay and the Americans. Lou’s voice and the arrangement makes this such the fitting song piece of work for a David Lynch film. Trent Reznor was tasked with putting the whole soundtrack together and my oh my what a wonderful job! Enjoy this scene and song!
