That time the Clash appeared in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The King of Comedy’

An interesting cinematic footnote to the Clash’s time spent in New York City in the early 1980s—while they recorded their sprawling three-record Sandinista album—is their “blink and you missed ‘em” appearance in Martin Scorsese’s dark classic The King of Comedy. Apparently both Scorsese...

Here's one for you in terms of score Vs diagetic sound:

I just watched this Peter Coyote film from 1984 - shown a few times on RTE in the late 90s/early 2000s, exactly the sort of randy film my dad would tape, him being a big Peter Coyote fan, who wouldn't be, eh listen to the voice and look at the face - Heartbreakers, it was called.


The whole score was by Tangerine Dream. But there was a scene where Coyote was racing towards a gallery and the score is going full on..he enters the gallery and some sex lord of a woman is dancing with her colleagues...full on. Yoga, Pilates, it's the 80s... the works. Bipping and bopping. Yer wan presses pause on the tape or CD player when Coyote rudely interrupts to negotiate out of economic necessity...but there was no difference between the actual soundtrack which had been playing since Coyote set pedal to the metal, and three dreamy chaps bopping to Tangerine Dream in the diagetic sense of sound in the scene.


Uh, there was another scene, a threesome scene where some wan seemed to press play on a radio alarm clock, and bam! full score. Woh, we're back in the score, but a character in the film just physically pressed a button on a device.

In my view, fine. It's the 80s. But doesn't really count as diagetic sound within the film.


Any other cases of what we shall call dubious diagetics?

Shit. Diegetic Sound would be a great name for a music website. Too bad it’s 23 years too late.

Germs in Driller Killer

Didn't director Abel Ferrara actually write the songs the punk band in Driller Killer played??
here's a piece on TONY COCA COLA AND THE ROOSTERS w/ youtube link.

Meet Tony Coca Cola & the Roosters, the fake punk band from ‘The Driller Killer’

A minor obsession of mine is subculture representation in popular entertainment and mainstream media, especially as regards punk rock. That movement in particular was subjected to so many cartoonish misrepresentations that cataloguing them all would be a Sisyphean undertaking. The infamous...

dangerousminds.net

For the record Bristol greats DISORDER had a song called Driller Killer and there was a Swedish hardcore band called DRILLER KILLER in the 90's/2000's (ex Anti Cimex) probably named as much after the song as the film.

never heard of Peter Coyote - his wiki was an interesting read.
I'm listening to the TD soundtrack for Heartbreakers now. I love their 70's stuff but this is too new agey/80's digital technology, for my tastes.

The most lasting impression I have from The Soprano’s is his son’s amazing Ulver poster.

I think Ferrara did write the music...the dude is just an absolute mensch...I must check the libraries for The Funeral.

My buddy went to a workshop with Ferrara a few years back. All candid no holds barred straight up realness. Ya dig? Apparently he got hooked on heroin or crack when filming Invasion of the Body Snatchers ..bored out of his skull making a studio film he didn't care for, in Nevada or some such desert land, but one he just received a massive paycheck for. He just walked into some desert backwater bar, and someone said, you wanna shoot? Sure, why not, he replied.

They did the score for Risky Business the same year...I liked the forlorn parts of Heartbreakers' score.

Coyote also had a Laurie Anderson poster on the wall of his studio.

Coyote...he's weasely but not to the weasely degree of John Lurie. Joe Pantoliano from RB... another memorable weasel. The 80s saw the emergence of the onscreen weasel for sure.

Coyote...marginal figure, unconventional hunk, but has natural presence...sort of just projects himself into any role. Short on range, long on natural presence. Would make an intriguing star profile.

She also has the same Ulver poster. I’d love that poster, what an album.

In terms of bands playing in movies, Nick Cave and Crime and the City Solution in Wings of Desire is another good one. Completely different recording of “From Her to Eternity” compared to the album too.

I haven't seen any Abel Ferrara movie after The Funeral but the five I remember watching esp. Ms. 45 and King Of New York are amazing - those are two of my favourite films.
Driller Killer is the only one I have on (a very cheap shoddy) DVD. But you reminded me... I heard the commentary tracks on Ferrara's movies are a bit nuts and that he doesn't hold anything back...

I just found this comp. of the best of his commentary track for King Of New York.
Warning: contains spoliers w/ Lots of Christopher Walken, attractive women, semi nudity, lots of guns, deaths and Abel Ferrara being Abel Ferrara loving it. NOT SUITABLE FOR VIEWING AT WORK.

apparently the woman in stripey pants dancing @1:10 is Janet Street-Porter and @ 0:37 it's Michael Palin.

That movie was also the inspiration for Neil Young’s Harvest album, particularly “A Man Needs a Maid”:
“I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part I could understand.”

He saw the movie, fell in love with the lead Carrie Snodgrass and ended up marrying her. It kind of killed her career, she was tipped for an Oscar for that role and she didn’t do anything major again (though she was in one of the X-Files I watched recently).

This one was interesting... Leos Carax's first film Boy Meets Girl from 1984.

The only thing I could remember about it [watched over 15 years ago, bought the vhs cheap in Chapters... still have it. Must rewatch it...] was the presence of Lavant, some hot French one that brings to mind the creamy loveliness of a young Madeline Stowe, and the use of Dead Kennedys' Holiday in Cambodia. The film uses two other tracks strikingly, and I'm pretty sure diagetically too - to the point where the songs are almost characters in the story.

The diagetic use here is cool.. you can see the female lead stick it on, then hear it through an intercom speaker as characters spout their ennui and alienation.

There’s a kind of reverse trick in the previously mentioned Wire song in C’mon C’mon where the songs starts as full volume soundtrack when they’re outside and then it jumps to them in an apartment and it switches to background as it’s on the stereo. I liked it.
