Monday Night Martin
Once upon a time I lugged my PC to The Star on the first Monday of each month to play lovingly created playlists as loudly as I could get away with accompanied by swirling visuals generated by WinAmp’s MilkDrop plugin projected on to a screen. This had something of a cult following for a few years.
#25: Screen Gems (June 2010)
All these tracks have appeared in films. See if you can spot which ones. You can roll over the tracks to see if you were right. I should mention that the tracks here were chosen for their musical interest, not the associated film's merit.
