Seventeen artists encompassing the broad spectrum of the alternative music
world have come together for a common cause. Seventeen artists, as varied in
their style as they are pronounced in their craft, share a common
inspiration. Seventeen artists have created "Songs In The Key of X (Music
form and inspired by The X-Files)." Rumor and speculation are at last
quieted as the final lineup to the soundscape of the phenomenon of the
Nineties is announced.
In addition to featuring new songs from superstars like Sheryl Crow and Foo
Fighters "Songs In The Key of X" will house a number of rare collaborations:
R.E.M. with William S. Burroughs, Elvis Costello and Brian Eno, Rob Zombie
and Alice Cooper, and a song by PM Dawn with lyrics by Chris Carter, the
creator of The X-Files.
Each week 16 million enlightened viewers tune in to the groundbreaking Fox
Television series The X-Files. Agents Scully and Mulder uncover the truth
about such previously suppresses topics as alien/human hybrids, ESP, vampires
and cattle mutilation. The show is a worldwide phenomenon, everywhere from
outer space to cyberspace, more World Wide Web pages are devoted to The
X-Files than any other television series or movie in history except Star
Trek.
Almost all of the tracks appearing on "Songs In The Key of X" were
commissioned by the show's creator Chris Carter (with help from David Was and
Warner Bros. A&R exec Geoffrey Weiss), and have been or will be featured in
upcoming episodes of the show. Not since David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti
joined forces on the musical meanderings of Twin Peaks has a musical backdrop
been so hauntingly apropos.
The final track listing is as follows:
1. Mark Snow - "The X-Files Theme"
2. Soul Coughing - "Unmarked Helicopters"
3. Sheryl Crow - "On The Outside"
4. Foo Fighters - "Down In The Park"
5. R.E.M. with William S. Burroughs - "Star Me Kitten"
6. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - "Red Right Hand"
7. Filter - "Thanks Bro"
8. Frank Black - "Man Of Steel"

inspired by The X-Files)" on Tuesday, March 26th.

Even though choosing the 10 Best Films of all time is kind of a hopeless
pursuit, no such list can be taken seriously if none of the films included
are in Black and White, and if none of them are silent.
Boogie
Lightning Crashes by Live was also used in a show (the one where the guy
confessed to a murder as the convicted murder was about to die)

Take it up with CC, it was his idea. And a good one at that.

> 1. Mark Snow - "The X-Files Theme"
I wonder if it's going to be straight from the TV show, or a pop
version, like Deep Space Nine did.
> 2. Soul Coughing - "Unmarked Helicopters"
Um... OK. I'll have to hear it.
> 3. Sheryl Crow - "On The Outside"
Again, I'll have to hear this one before making a judgment.
> 4. Foo Fighters - "Down In The Park"
Yeah!!! The Foos performing a very cool Gary Newman song. I'm
looking forward to this one.
> 5. R.E.M. with William S. Burroughs - "Star Me Kitten"
This could be interesting.
> 6. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - "Red Right Hand"
Yeah!
> 7. Filter - "Thanks Bro"
Hmmm... could be... interesting.
> 8. Frank Black - "Man Of Steel"
Never heard of him.
> 9. Meat Puppets - "Unexplained"
I don't really care for Meat Puppets, but I haven't heard all that many
of their songs. This could be good.
> 10. Danzig - "Deep"
Alright.
> 11. Screamin' Jay Hawkins - "Frenzy"
Screamin' Jay who?
> 12. Elvis Costello and Brian Eno - "My Dark Life"
Interesting pair.
> 13. Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper - "The Hands Of Death (Burn, Baby, Burn)"
Whoa!!! Actually, I think YIKES would be a better word to describe
this pairing!
> 14. PM Dawn - "If You Never Say Goodbye" [lyrics by Chris Carter]
> 15. PM Dawn - "The X-Files Theme" (Remix)
Well, if the first version of theme is just lifted from the show, this will be
a pop version.

Can't wait!

Never heard of Frank Black?! He's been around for a long time. At least
2 solo albums and bunches of stuff when he was with The Pixies.

American people don't care about things. For example, they drive broken
car. My host family ride a car which has no side mirror. I surprised.
Why they don't fix it?

[SMEG]But I want BGM, not a bunch of silly rock music. Grr...
YES YES YES!!! I thought there was rumour for Mark Snow's BackGround Music!!!
Oh well, vaporware I guess! If there was BMG suggestions, what about
the deep music played when that virus got spread around (ie. F. Emasculata,
when the package of meat came for the sole prisoner......CREEPY)

Frank Black, or Black Francis as he used to be known was the lead singer
of the Pixies, former home of Kim Deal of the Breeders. Good band.

Actually, I think the Breeders are not longer in existance. I *do* know
that Kim Deal has a new band called The Amps now though. I like them
better than the Breeders.

American tour.
