Re: (TV) Warm and Cool



Listening to Warm and Cool again, I get this idea of them playing this
music in a dark room watching old black and white movies with the
sound turned off. When it first came out I thought Tom's contract must
have required another album so he just recorded some jams one day and
said, here's your record. Knowing now that he's interested in making
soundtracks it make a little more sense.

I rented Love and a 45 when it came out back in 94 or 95 but aside
from being an awful movie, I can barely remember any of the music Tom
did. It'd be interesting to hear the music without the distraction of
the movie though. All I remember is this weirdo who shaved his head
and then carved some words into his head with a razor blade. Or
something.
