| | King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters Soundtrack CD
The film King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters follows a cross-country duel between two gamers vying for the 2007 Guinness World Record high score in Donkey Kong. Some might argue that compiling a soundtrack for a documentary of this nature would involve simply slapping the film's name on the cover of Rush's 2112, but the producers have put together something far more entertaining. Composer Craig Richey's sparse, oddly melancholy score aside, pitting the protagonists against an audio backdrop of classical masterpieces "Flight of the Valkyries"/"In the Hall of the Mountain King," snippets of dialogue, and cheesy '80s radio hits like "Obsession" by Animotion, Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" and most importantly Joe Esposito's "You're the Best" (from The Karate Kid soundtrack) not only celebrates the larger than life/hopelessly uncool image of the gaming community itself, it honors the geek in all of us. ~ James Christopher Monger King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters Soundtrack Music King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters Soundtrack Songs | 1. | Centipede (Dialogue) |

$16.49
Formed in 1992 in Cornelia, Georgia (a small community in the north Georgia mountains) when the band members were barely in their teens, Left FrontTire spent its early days of playing school gigs locally around Habersham County. Citing influences ranging from Guns 'n' Roses to Rancid and declar-inga fondness for "old country like Hank Sr. and Merle," the band released an eponymous DIY album in '96. "We did that and graduated from highschool; we thought we'd be famous in '97. It never went like that," says drummer Josh Davis.The band followed in 2000 with Social Icon, a blistering album filled with dead-on harmonies and infectious pop hooks delivered with an attitude. Alongwith 10 original tracks, Left Front Tire acknowledged the full range of their musical influences - not to mention their roots - with a cover of Hank WilliamsJr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive."Social Icon, produced by Rick Beato (Mike Lee, King Konga) and released on the band's own Gladiator Records, sold over 5,000 copies. Earning a repas a high-energy live band, Left Front Tire not only grabbed the attention of punk-pop fans throughout the Southeast club circuit but also in the musicindustry. This reputation - and their ability to back it up - led to performances in front of huge crowds at Atlanta alternative rock station 99X's "Big Day Out" and Music Midtown (Atlanta, GA's largest outdoor festival).In 2001, Left Front Tire's song "Bring You Down" was added as the third track on the American Pie 2 soundtrack just behind Blink 182 and Green Dayand before the likes of Uncle Kracker, American Hi-Fi and Alien Ant Farm. In late 2001, 99X added the single to their rotation.Now, after a decade spent honing their sound, recording and playing live dates, stacking up an impressive resume along the way, Left Front Tire is poisedto release its first album with The Redeye Label, 42 Ways to Lose a Friend.The ...

$19.39
“I've had my pirate days, and my bandit ways, As good as any man....”The title track says it all. After a life full of discovery, ecstasy, restlessness, motherhoodand renewal, Marianne Girard has created a new recording of passionate lyrics andmelodies; compelling tales of love and adventure, delivered with that same crystal clear voice and roguish narrative style that her fans cherish. Marianne seems to have forgotten to notice all the barriers and obstacles artists face. Serious aficionados of the well crafted tune have always favoured Marianne Girard. With her new CD release Pirate Days, the word is spreading.Girard's siren call of exceptional folk purity, along with her distinctive laser-like focus on newly explored emotional truths -with no looking away and no minimizing- conspire together to produce a gasp of recognition to an unsuspecting listener.Born to a post-war French/Irish Catholic family of 12, and raised in rural southwestern Ontario, Canada, she left home at 16 and found herself in Nashville. It was not this city of rhinestone cowboys that compelled her to stay; it was the Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee, where the deep history beckoned from every rock and tree. Marianne emerged a year later as a journeywoman of self expression. And this journey has since taken her from one woman shows in Bistros and small stages, to festivals and concert tours in North America and Europe, bad guitar smashing relationships, recording, motherhood, growth, acceptance and renewal. And it is one journey that she has steadfastly been willing ...
