Super Group

This is my lineup for the ultimate rock band.  Trent Reznor on the various instruments he plays, mostly synthesizer and keyboard, and doing some composing.  Jack White on guitar, key board and vocals.  Chris Cornell on vocals and guitar.  Flea on bass and trumpet, and Dave Grohl on drums.  To produce their album, I would have Danger Mouse join the team.  They'd be an amazing band and they could all switch parts around for different songs because most of them can sing and play guitar.

Soundtracks

This weekend I went to see two movies, The Social Network and Resident Evil: Afterlife. I had completely forgotten about hearing that Trent Reznor would be doing the soundtrack for The Social Network. When Atticus Ross and Reznor's names appeared in the opening credits, I immediately recalled hearing that and my expectations increased. For those of you who don't know Atticus Ross, he has worked with Reznor on several projects and is part of How to Destroy Angels. Reznor and Ross didn't disappoint, I really enjoyed the music during the film. And the movie was pretty good as well. If you haven't seen the movie yet or just want to listen to it anyways, there is a five track sampler available for free download.

If you really enjoy rock music that you will love the soundtrack for Resident Evil: Afterlife. I have yet to find the full soundtrack, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was very fitting. It was eerie rock and at times built up quite epically. The closing song by A Perfect Circle, "Outsider (Apocalypse Remix)", will give you an idea of the style of music used in the film. I'm not sure if the music was all original or just a collection of instrumental versions of songs. Nevertheless, I want the soundtrack when I can find it.
