God, Kevin, I love the wonka-wonka. Brings tears to my eyes, thinking of all those side-burned TV tough guys with long, low cars.<br />
<br />
The days when 50 cents could buy a <i>Tomb of Dracula</i> comic book and a slurpee. When Pop Rocks were the drug of choice on playgrounds. When Kolchak kicked vampire butt and Kojack licked lollipops.<br />
<br />
Those crazy teenagers can keep YouTube, buddy--we had the wonka-wonka. Thanks for the memories! ;)

Mancini has done some great noirish music, eh? Love the music and photography in <i>Experiment in Terror</i>.<br />
<br />
I've started loading a bunch of noirish themes into the little virtual jukebox gizmo thingamabox on my personal Crimespace page. (Right now I'm listening to the theme from <i>Mannix</i>, of all things.) It's kinda fun, and it makes me feel like those crazy teenagers, with their YouTubes and their MySpaces and their Christina Aguileras and their 50 Cents.

Love the <i>Peter Gunn</i> theme! Just caught <i>Experiment in Terror</i> last night on DVD (Blake Edward's only foray into thriller territory--and it still featured bumbling cops--and the greatest thing about the movie--besides Lee Remick and San Francisco locations--is the Henry Mancini score.<br />
<br />
I thought the opening shots of Lee crossing the Bay Bridge at night, combined with Mancini's dissonant music, was great. Wish I could say the same about the rest.<br />
<br />
Mancini's stuff was terrific--and oh,…

I'd have to put the <i>Peter Gunn</i> theme at the top of my nasty hardboiled noir songs.<br />
<br />
For something more in the bittersweet-love mode...hm. How 'bout "Moonglow"?

Never thought of "Fairytale of New York" as a noir song per se...but it mos def does fit, doesn't it?<br />
<br />
Great song in any case.

The speaker always struck me as a blowhard. I have a hard time imagining him taking action, no matter the harm done to him.<br />
<br />
But he'll make the same mistake again, I think.

i love nebraska. the cd is in my car. nice road-trip music.<br />
<br />
not sure, but maybe some leonard cohen stuff would fall into a noir category. maybe patti smith?<br />
<br />
and as far as just mood -- godspeed you black emperor. their music has been used in horror movies, but i think it would also work for noir.
