Albert, that Drive sound track peaked my interest. I've never seen the film. Can you elaborate for me? If not, I can check out Amazon reviews but I'd much rather hear what draws you to this material than most. I appreciate your diversity.

I own a music library with such diverse content, some is certain to offend everyone :-).

Drive is a great indy movie starring Ryan Gosling, a young (about 30) year old actor. Ryan strikes me as a real person in a field of actors that rely on overdone facial expressions, gestures and special effects to pull them through.

Ryan reminds me a tiny bit of Steve McQueen when he was young and doing action movies. Both are different enough to remember and believable enough to connect with as the movie unfolds.

I really liked the movie, among my favorites this past year. The music is as different as the movie, you should go to Amazon and play the MP3 samples and see how it strikes you.

Music I played today:

Felix Laband, "Thin Shoes In June"
Rickie Lee Jones, "The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard"
Porcupine Tree, "Stupid Dream"
Harold Land and Kenny Dorham, "Eastward Ho"
Frazy Ford, "Obadiah"
At the moment it is The Cramps "Songs the Lord Taught Us" with Joe Strummer waiting in the wings next to Man Man's latest album (just saw them this last Sunday - Great show!)
Ry Cooder-Jazz
The Clash-Sandinista
Dire Straits-Dire Straits

Then a whole bunch of other amazing music that will probably get me out of my chair like this Ry Cooder is doing right now.
