Dragonaut
Sleep

A song that you discovered on a film soundtrack.

I didn't enjoy the movie Gummo. I wanted to. Lots of people involved in that movie were friends of friends in Nashville (although I didn't know any of the actors personally). Over the years, a lot of people who's taste I really respect have told me it's a masterpiece. But I just couldn't get into it. I don't really even remember that much about it. After watching it, I think my brain quickly went to work trying to purge it.

But decades later, I still remember clear as day the bike scene. The two kids with bb guns riding bikes down a hill with Dragonaut by Sleep as the soundtrack. The song just hits so hard, and is perfect for the moment. It makes everything feel so menacing and foreboding. I was never really into stoner metal, but I immediately went out and bought this CD after seeing this movie.
