XANADU
11/12/2009Okay, I gotta say that this whole trip started because I was trying to find a lossless version of “All Over The World” by Electric Light Orchestra. Turns out that the only way I got it was through downloading the entire Xanadu soundtrack, which is completely fine by me, seeing as how it’s one of my favorite films/musicals of all time.
Now, if you do not know about XANADU…I’m really not sure what to say except, my condolensces. Please do yourself a favor and check out this epic (albeit, campy) film! Do not get it twisted with the big pharm XANAX…(har har)…okay, but really, bad jokes aside, DO IT! Olivia Newton-John in her prime, ELO doing most of the score, music, dancing, rollerskates, glitterati, forays into cartoon acid trip land…jesus, what’s not to like about all that?!!?
It’s got the best of the residual disco days and the early 80’s aerobic/neon madness (American Apparel’s design department probably plays this shit on repeat for inspiration), all wonderfully marinated and stewed into a psychedelic delight. Bon appetit!
