what is a tarantino-esque song anyway? what makes a song tarantino-esque???
Ermmm… anything that sounds like songs from his five soundtracks i guess. Also, songs that sound really cool (like miserlou or comanche)

I think thats bullshit. the songs on those soundtracks are all totally different. there is no such thing as “tarantino-esque”. prove me wrong and you’ll fail.
you coul say something like “misirlou-esque” meaning a surfersong or “green bag” -esque meaning some sort of 70s song but what the hell should “tarantino-esque” mean.
a song from pulp is totally different from a song in Kill bill, so whats the point of all this?
Yeh you’re right but QT ain’t gonna have like Spice Girls or some other pop shit in there. He has really good musical tastes and yeh there are loads of songs that could be ‘tarantino-esque’ but I guess after a while all the most intersting topics become used up and so people resort to making shit, lame, useless topics, but it’s still fun to talk about Quentin regardless the subject matter.
tarantino uses lots of 70s, 80s pop, and soul music
im writting a screenplay and ive been thinking of songs i could use and so far ive got Blister In The Sun- Violent Femmes, Rape Me- Nirvana and Stranger than Fiction- Bad Religion
I think that “Java” by Al Hirt would work well in a really violent or sexual Tarantino scene as he is always using music that contrasts to the chaos.
I heard that he also wanted to use “My Sherona” for the rape scene in Pulp Fiction.
Also, I feel that “Cast Iron Man” by Peanuts Wilson is very Pulp Fiction-esque
Ok, I’ll tell you the point of this post. It is for fans of Tarantinos soundtracks who just cant get enough and want more. People have clicked on this threat hoping to find some music that is of the same quality and eclectic taste as what might be found in a Tarantino film. We are trying to pick songs that Tarantino might pick himself to put in one of his films. This can be any style of music and does not nessisarily have a certain ‘sound’ or ‘style’ but as someone said it would not be spice girls. What sort of songs do you think that Tarantino might put in a film? Are there any more songs that he wanted to put into films but didn’t get the rights to? Any songs that he decided against putting in? Any songs that you would like to see playing in one of his movies in a certain scene?
Some of my selections:
Chris Rea - Road to Hell (pt 2)
Le Chick - Freak Out (although very well known so he wouldnt use it, but would fit well)
Joan Baez - In the quiet morning
Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
Question Mark and the Mysterians -96 Tears
The Seeds - Pushin’ Too Hard
he wanted to use ‘My Sharona’ in the PF rape scene, yeah. Because, apparently, it ‘has a good sodomy beat’. However, a member of the band had become a born-again Christian, and after seeing what Tarantino did to Stuck In The Middle With You, he said he wasn’t going to let him use it. Not saying that Christians can’t be Tarantino fans, but, you know, he did actually have a point.
O and I am SO IN LOVE WITH Pushin’ Too Hard…
If I think of Tarantino doing a Vietnam film one more time, my head will explode :o
…I have to go and lie down now and recover…

Why would you think that?
I’m working on my dissertation right now, which is about Vietnam war films. So I’m thinking about that a lot. Also I think about Tarantino films a lot. So it’s inevitable that I’d think of the concept of the two being combined at some point. I did, and the idea of that is too amazing to even imagine. Not that I have any basis for thinking they could or anything.

It would be great if it was in Vietnam, but then again it’s gonna be great where/whenever it’s set, isn’t it?

O well I didn’t know that. Looks like my dissertation’s going to be pretty shit then, doesn’t it?..
I mean if it was no longer set in WWII but TRANSPOSED into Vietnam (as you well know)
im sorry :’(
Well, back to the topic.
I recently heard a french singer called Fabian del sol. Very Tarantino-eque. It sounds like pulp fiction and kill bill mixed together.
I also think Sour times by Portishead is very Tarantino-esque.
Has anybody heard Atomic by Blondie? It always reminds me of Pulp Fiction or that music playing from the cinema that Max comes out of in Jackie Brown when I listen to it, hence why I consider it ‘Tarantino-esque’. Give it a listen if you haven’t!!
