The Bride Rides Again

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang
a fucking stone fox

As the first volume of Kill Bill hits the shelves and the second volume hits the theatres, I thought I'd post the opening credit music. It's not the best song in the world, but it's definitely interesting. That Nancy was a real weirdo. She was a stone fox though. Look at her up there wearing nothing but a sweater. Shit.

Ben Gibbard - Thriller

I don't know where this came from, where it was recorded, or when. Really. No idea. But I think it's pretty good. Obviously he's not the first person to cover Thriller, but he offers an interesting take. But I think by slowing it down and making it softer he tries to find some emotion in the song that isn't really there.

not really feeling the ben, but the nancy... oof.
she's... weird all right. when i saw the KBV1 soundtrack at the store and gave it a listen, i was kind of like "what is going on with this song?" but when i saw the movie (yes that's backwards) i was like, "this totally fucking works"

Awesome. I love Gibbard cover songs. This is not as good as his "Complicated", but it's still pretty great!
