Scene & Heard Mixtape: You Are The Dark

Ack!! Writing that last 'review' of The Dark Knight took a lot out of me. But I beg you to argue a film that dense doesn't deserve such a meaty manifesto! And may God bless those who actually read through the whole thing without breaking a sweat, or needing a potty break. But before I move on, can I please just post this image again? One more time? Please?!

There, NOW, I'm fully recovered.

..... and TOTALLY NOT DONE WITH THE DARK KNIGHT!

That's right. I'm back with more Dark Knight, but it's a mix for ya this time, themed after the movie... Well, sorta. I know the buzz is wearing off by now, but this mix features lots of little golden nuggets, so don't miss out on some greats for being so judgemental! This mix hardly riffs on the same 'serious' note as the movie did. Seriously! You HAVE to be a little off your bolts to put Coldplay's "God Put A Smile On My Face" in a mix about a movie like The Dark Knight, but just think about it for a moment... electing to put that song into this mix, kinda puts me in the 'genius' category on wikipedia. Let me know what ya think.

C'mon, MIX ME!

1. Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning Is The End is The Beginning
2. Flaming Lips - Batman theme
3. Wolfmother - Joker & The Thief
4. Coldplay - God Put A Smile On My Face (live bootleg, Houston, TX, 1/28/2003)
5. Johnny Cash - Man In Black
6. Sex Pistols - Problems
7. Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - Why So Serious (score from The Dark Knight)
8. Thom Yorke - Black Swan
9. Elliott Smith - Black Bird (Beatles cover, live bootleg from The Steamboat, 5/3/2003)
10. Joseph Arthur - You Are The Dark (Live from The Living Room, NYC)


And if you're remotely curious why that Sex Pistols song ended up in there, allow me to remind you of the lyrics, and bare in mind Ledger's Joker.

Now I think I finally have The Dark Knight out of my system, so, if you got sick of that little era of mine, there are new and wonderful things ahead! Really!
