Threads and Tangents 3/5/24 - Music from Wes Anderson Movies

This week's musical thread is Wes Anderson movies. The upcoming Academy Awards got me thinking about movie soundtracks, and since Anderson includes so many great songs in his movies, this was an easy call.
Anderson is a divisive director.  Many of us really connect with his idiosyncratic style, while others just don’t get it.  But wherever you land on that spectrum, you can’t deny how masterfully he uses music in his films.  In tonight’s show we’ll get a sense of his uncanny ability for finding just the right song for just the right moment.
   
We'll hear music from: The Beach Boys, David Bowie, The Faces, Françoise Hardy, Seu Jorge, The Kinks, Love, Yves Montand, Nico, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, Peter Sarstedt, Elliott Smith, The Stooges, and West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.
