Grindin' Even if, like us, you were a little underwhelmed by Kill Bill and Sin City it’s hard not to get excited about Grindhouse, the Rodriguez/Tarantino double feature that premiered in LA this week. It stars Kurt Russell as a serial-killing petrolhead and Rose McGowan as a stripper with a machine gun for a leg. If, for some insane reason, that doesn’t pique your interest then read what Neill Cumpston has to say about it. It may be the greatest movie review ever written. A soundtrack to the Tarantino half of Grindhouse, Death Proof, will be in the shops soon (we’re assuming Rodriguez has composed a John Carpenter homage/score for his bit). As you’d expect vintage rock & soul, obscure exotica and arcane movie references abound. We’ve got three of the tracks for you here. There’s revving engines and rumbling surf guitars on Jack Nitzsche’s The Last Race, driving funk-rock from Willy DeVille on It’s So Easy (taken from the Cruising soundtrack) and the uber-kitschness of April March’s Chick Habit. The album will also include a cut from Pino Donaggio’s Blow Out soundtrack, Ennio Morricone, Eddie Floyd, T Rex and, most improbably, Brit-beat combo Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. Jack Nitzsche - The Last Race [mp3] Willy Deville - It's So Easy [mp3] April March - Chick Habit [mp3] The Death Proof soundtrack is out 03/04/07 on Maverick. Buy it here. Posted by: Scott 29/03/07
