Mixtapes and Playlists 6: The Imaginary, Modern, Western Soundtrack

All the songs that, regardless of genre, sound like they could be part of an updated (probably terrible) deconstruction of the Western model. The songs are great though. Features the likes of The Eels, Jay-Z, and Warren Zevon. The villain’s theme? Kool G. Rap’s ‘It’s a Shame’. The hero unable to run from a fight he begrudgingly takes on by the end of the movie? David Bowie’s ’5:15′. Townswoman lamenting her plight? Janis’ ‘Work me Lord’. Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Estranged scores the final battle’. :
