When I think of Reznor/Ross lately, I’m reminded of “In Motion” from their Academy Award winning score for The Social Network, the dark piano tones in “Hypomania” from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or the slow building craziness of “Technically, Missing” from the Gone Girl…
Today is Robert Smith’s 61st birthday. The Cure’s been around since the late 70’s, but I can’t say that I knew of them as well as I did some other bands. Just about everyone knows of Friday I’m in Love, or Burn (off of the Crow Score, my first introduction to them). Here’s Disintegration, from the album of the same name. For some reason, this song makes me think of the Robert Downey Jr. film, Less Than Zero.
