Songs that should be in ski porn

[mondeo]

All ski videos should use the music from the Blizzard of Aaahhs. I have the "Act" album used on that movie in my iTunes library.

Stump had some good picks. Not a big fan of electronic stuff, but I picked up Adamski's Thing due to a couple of the songs included in Fistful of Moguls.

This thread is awesome.

I lean toward the hard rock side of music while I watch my ski porn. I still haven't found a film that really nails it musically. The opening scene from TGR's Anomaly is pretty great. Warren Millers stuff is pretty strange sometimes. MHF always throws in some random crap that almost detracts from the movie. (see example, Born from Ice) I need to watch that on mute.

For me:

Chevelle's Clincher:

Trapt's Stand Up:

But then...for when I want something a little more chill like a big mountain scene:

Soulive's Liquid:

I tend to like WM's music choices overall. They tend to match the music to the skiing pretty well

For example:

(love how that's the official music video.)

Also, Knights of Cydonia (Muse) I always thought sounded like a song that should be in music credits. Then I realized it was used in the close of Playground.

But I think Marc hit the reason the lower budget movies use less well-known musicians.

Yeah, Marc's point is spot on.

And what movie is that Weezer tune from? That video is awesome. The scene around 1:12 is great

Wow, absolutely sick. Love that song too. The best one from that album, which basically had 3 good songs and then a bunch of crap.

"It's For You" .... Pat Matheny

"Me and My Uncle" .... Grateful Dead

"Compared to What" .... Les McCann and Eddie Harris

"Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes." .... Paul Simon

"Running Down a Dream" .... Tom Petty

"Like a Hurricane" .... Neil Young

Anything exuberant. I know "Compared to What" is kinda angry, but it's a great tune.

Use the slow parts of "It's for You" for lift rides or the skin up.

I realize I am totally dating myself with the above list.
