Music reviews of A Date With John Waters
Music Review: Awesome Kitschy Crazy Fun
Rating: 4 Stars
Heard Waters talking to Terry Gross a few years ago when this first came out and it stuck in my head. Glad it did because this is one of the best compilation albums ever. Everything from the scarily sincere to the very, very strange. My favorite is probably "You Belong to Me," which could be innocent but somehow I doubt it. I love it all and, seeing as I love his Christmas album, too, I hope he does more of these!
Description of A Date With John Waters
History's already shown that the self-proclaimed master of "bad taste" has always had impeccably good taste, even at his most extreme. A large part of the reason that his aesthetic has had a real and unabated influence since the early 1970s is that there's nothing forced or ironic about his approach to film-making, including the soundtracks to his movies, which the director terms "little-known, weird vintage music." Waters says that the selections on A Date are "all romantic seduction music I would play if I had you over." Naturally, it's an off-kilter patchwork selection; most folks would not try to seduce someone with either an Ike & Tina Turner number or "Sometimes I Wish I Had a Gun," sung by Waters habitu? Mink Stole. The collection is fun and veers from mellow crooners and hopped-up rhythm and blues to forgotten rocker hits from the '50s ("Tonight You Belong to Me" by Patience and Prudence) and '70s ("Jet Boy Jet Girl" by Elton Motello). If the collection sells well, the director promises to bring you Breaking Up with John Waters, as if you needed another reason to buy this one. --Mike McGonigalGeneral CDs
