I have a major thing for poorly-chosen cover songs, like this awful Marilyn Manson version of 'Suicide is Painless' that I'm listening to, from the even-more-awful Blair Witch sequel. For some reason, though, I suspect that the Blair Witch sequel is, like, entertainingly awful. Like one of my favorite movies, Cannonball Run II. My pal Aretha and I have meant to rent it for a while. I seem to recall reading somewhere that, among the many indignities heaped upon the people who were hired to work on Blair Witch 2, the guy who did the music (it wasn't Steve Albini, was it? No, I don't think it was.) originally selected Frank Sinatra's version of 'Witchcraft' for the opening credits, only to be overruled by, y'know, whoever it is that occasionally makes sure that utterly forgettable movies' soundtracks aren't quite as much so. I think they also worked on 'Judgment Night' and, what was it, 'Blade?' 'Spawn?' Something with lots of, like, electronica/neo-metal collaborations. The one where Manson worked with the Sneaker Pimps and they, like, publicly dissed one another afterward (it was 'Spawn'). That was back when Manson had those public feuds with people. The 'Judgment Night' soundtrack has De La Soul/Teenage Fanclub's 'Fallin',' which, until 'What's Up Fatlip' was recorded, was the best song about falling off ever written, and a collaboration between Sir Mix-A-Lot and Mudhoney. Mix's later work with the Presidents of the United States of America, and Real World cast members, never measured up.  ¶ 12:00 AM
