Golden Triangle takes me to the movies
» Pairing the new album with the perfect scenes from Heathers, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, and beyond.
Totally ignoring the fact that I've waited since the first time I saw this band live (about three years ago) for the LP that is Double Jointer to come out, the debut album by Golden Triangle has managed to capture the band's live intensity in ways I didn't think possible, and at the risk of sounding cheesy, it's one of those records that should fall under the "instant classic" category for people who have an ounce of good taste in them.
If you need reference points, I'd have to say The Go Go's in a knife fight with Black Tambourine might be the best way to put it, but what really struck me as I got drunk listening to this album for about the fifteenth time, was the fact that so many of these songs could have been used in the soundtracks for some of my favorite films.
So, I went on Youtube, found clips from some of these films, turned the volume down on them, and cranked the shit out of Double Jointer, and here are my favorite results*.
01 "Cinco de Mayo" for Dudes:
02 "Blood and Arrow" for Desperate Teenage Lovedolls:
03 "Neon Noose" for Heathers:
04 "Death to Fame" replacing the music for this Monks video:
05 "Rollercoaster" and "Eyes to See" for the riot scene in Over the Edge:
06 "Arson Wells" for his scene from Times Square:
*You need to purchase this album to be able to experience this.
