I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
This time around, I wanna shoutout a few complete soundtracks that I've found particularly cool over the years. So, here goes!
I'm a huge fan of Wes Anderson and absolutely love the soundtrack for The Royal Tenanbaums... I remember buying the CD back in high school and listening to until it became scratched to hell and unlistenable. I love quirkiness of the Mark Mothersbaugh compositions and how well they fit the film + all the awesome 60's & 70's tunes mixed in.
My fave from it is probably "Wigwam" by Bob Dylan:
Gotta love the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, especially how it's interluded with little clips of the faux radio station host introducing different songs. "Little Green Bag" might be my favorite on the album, but I gotta give a mention "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Steelers Wheel because of how well it worked for the ear scene (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the movie, but be warned it's violent):
Lastly, O Brother Where Art Though's soundtrack is another one of my all-time faves. The songs on this album are just so fitting for the film... it definitely captures the old-timey tunes of the period. Also, if you haven't yet seen the movie, it's phenomenal! One of my faves from it is the cover of Skip James' "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" deftly performed by Chris Thomas King.
A few other great soundtracks I'd like to call out are Daft Punk's soundtrack for Tron: Legacy, Prince's soundtrack for Batman, and all soundtracks by John Carpenter (possibly the only director to score his own films)... all of these are awesome!

Last time around, I shouted out Kate Bush's "Running Up the Hill" and the pivotal role it played in Stranger Things...
