Not What I Wanted.

"What I wanted was the music IN the movie. That is, the music you are aware of when watching the movie: the eventful music. Such as:
1- the wonderful stage performance of the girl who converted a refrigerator into her bathtub. The singing and the music is really strong, and also funny.
2- the "Hi, Dad, I'm in JAIL !" song, that the jerk painter was listening to in the studio.
3- the Supreme's song, sung by the 'girls' in red on the street while the couple was arguing in the studio. (Maybe there are copyright problems with this.)
4- the wonderful live drum band at the second party scene, with the woman singer, holding the trumpet.
None of this is on the 'soundtrack' CD.
What they gave us is the music BEHIND the movie. I have done feature film sound work. The music they gave us is the music that you are not supposed to notice: the background music. So I'm disappointed. I don't want even one of these songs. d. c."
