Gummo OST



I think a heartfelt round of congratulations are in order to thee Harmony Korine/Larry Clark/Vincent Gallo Axis: you've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that American filmmakers who dabble in "existential" cinema are every bit as stupefyingly dull and redundant as their European counterparts. Please, take a bow. Perhaps we should throw Chloe Sevigny in there as well, as she appears to be some kinda "muse" for these rather uninteresting gentlemen-- my dearest darling, no matter how many times you appear naked or perform sadly unimpressive fellatio on one of your cast members' members, you'll never be Uschi Digart. NEVER. For those of you who have no idea what I'm on about... I really don't care.

Regardless, there's seldom soundtracks --if EVER-- that include the likes of Sleep, Bathory, Burzum, Absu or Spazz, let alone all of 'em on one handy shiny disc. So, whomever compiled this collection deserves to be commended, if not the film itself, which is a grainy, fake documentary about youthful rednecks growing up in an Ohio Nowheresville. It's filled to the brim with contrived attempts to shock that will only offend those whose bourgeois sensibilities haven't allowed 'em to discover life beyond thee anonymous suburbs in which they dwell. So be thankful I'm providing the music, not the visuals.

Tracks:

1 Absu - The Gold Torques of Ulaid
2 Eyehategod - Serving Time in the Middle of Nowhere
3 The Electric Hellfire Club - D.W.S.O.B
4 SPAZZ - Gummo Love Theme
5 Bethlehem - Schuld Uns'res Knoch'rigen Faltpferd
6 Burzum - Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Säule Der Singularität
7 Bathory - Equimanthorn
8 Dark Noerd - Smokin' Husks
9 Sleep - Dragonaut
10 Brujería - Matando Gueros 97
11 Namamax - The Medicined Man
12 Nifelheim - Hellish Blasphemy
13 Mortician - Skin Peeler
14 Mystifier - Give The Human Devil His Due
15 Destroy All Monsters - Mom's and Dad's Pussy
16 Bethlehem - Verschierte Irrelgiositat
17 Mischa Maisky - Suite No.2 For Solo Cello In D Minor-Prelude
18 Sleep - Some Grass
19 Rose Shepherd, Ellen M. Smith - Jesus Loves Me

  3. Sandy my dear, I don't believe "sleezy sexy" is the term you're looking for-- I'm pretty much positive it's "douchebag."

  4. We're all intelligent here. How's about the three of us get together for a party one day? We can rent Men in Black and eat chips.

  5. No thanks.

    Whenever I can avoid it, I ignore films made beyond 1976-- unless it's Max Hardcore of course. Unfortunately it seems he's been getting soft as of late. No pun intended.

  6. Fuck, you nailed it. Except I think Gummo is a watchable film. And I'm gonna give Larry Clark one thumb up for 'Bully', I might be biased though since he chose to portay fucked up retarded white kids from the town I had to grow up in. Yeah, fuck Vincent Gallo and the talentless mouth whore Sevigny. The soundtrack is great though, you might like the movie better if you watched as a series of video sfor these amazing songs. Bethlehem and Sleep especially. It's kind of like how I can listen to a newer Dimmu Borgir album by thinking of it as a really great Broadway musical soundtrack rather than a really shitty metal album. Extra points to you for mentioning Uschi!!! Max Hardcore is just icky.

  11. well, when the top points of your career are being fucked on the end of kids and being the ONLY ONE not fucked and slaughtered on american psycho, what can you do? a blowjob? gimme a break. it off the fact that she always get extra weight anytime a naked scene is necessary. must be a trauma of her friends seeing her on this first film...i heard she likes bad brains. everybody has a good side...

  12. Jake - I won't bore ya with details, but I had to do the "Visit the in-laws" thing again. Thanks fuck for a 4gig mp3 player!

  13. It brings up the question: Is Chloe trashier than Uschi Digart because she sucked cock in a movie and Uschi hasn't? I think Uschi showed extreme class by only showing up naked in those movies and never dabbling in hardcore, as was the style at the time. Although if I heard she had done a hardcore scene I'd order it right away.

  15. No-- thank YOU for that link! I can never get me enough Uschi!

  16. ...and you're welcome. However, I maybe shouldn't have scolded Klon so soon, it seems what I thought to be hardcore was actually all simulated! Sorry man...maybe there is some hardcore Uschi but the link I provided doesn't seem to produce any, plenty of convincing simulations though!

  17. im back from a trip through canyonlands! yes, i agree this type of ilk can be quite dull but you cannot argue with the fact that it has an amazing soundtrack. the sleep accompaniment to the bike ride down the street is especially memorable. if im remembering correctly that is. ive never really understood how chloe sevigny got so popular but she is much better than her brother and his crappy band A.R.E. Weapons at least. sheesh. cheers!
