I just saw this documentary, which has a killer soundtrack by Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, and is a record of that band’s first European tour, managed by the unlikely head of their label, Kiefer Sutherland.

More bands should do this.

But nothing they’ve done stirs my soul like Teardrop, from 1998′s Mezzanine. Most people know it as the theme from House. I’m glad I heard it soon after its release. It was part of a stream of ambient and dance [...] Chemical Calisthenics, from Blazing Arrow: I don’t care what anybody thinks, I love these songs.
