The Alternate - A Mix For Whiplash

As much as I love the film and keep coming back to it I thought The Nice Guys' soundtrack was a real missed opportunity. Why go to the trouble of issuing a deluxe double vinyl collectors edition when the music on it can be found on the most basic ‘Hits of the 70s’-style compilation? I love “Papa was a Rolling Stone” and “September” as much as anyone but they’ve been comped to death at this point. 

Also found it weird that a film that's so specifically set in 1977 (the date's the first thing you see onscreen) features tracks like Boogie Wonderland and The Pina Colada Song when they both came out in 1979. Even worse, the party scene features Kool & the Gang’s “Get Down On It” -which came out in 1981.  It doesn't even sound like a production from '77!

Anyway here's my take on an alternative OST and stuff:

Tracklist
Etta James - All The Way Down (1973)
Salsoul Orchestra - Nice 'n' Naasty (Edit) (1976)
Yvonne Fair - Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On (1975)
C.C.P.P. - Prancai (Edit) (1975)
Martin Kershaw - Riff Raff (1976)
Junie - Susie Thundertussy (Edit) (1975)
Lee Michaels - Who Could Want More (1969)
Patrice Rushen - Hang it Up (Edit) (1978)
Gladys Knight & the Pips - We Don't Look For Trouble (1975)
Mike Moran - The Pick-Up (1976)
Robert Jay - Alcohol Pt 1 (1973)
Ike & Tina Tuner - Bold Soul Sister (1970)
Atlantis - He's Got a Gun (1976)
The Choice Four - Get Down to Earth (Instrumental Edit) (1977)
Eloise Law - Love Goes Deeper Than That (1977)
Burton Inc. - LA Will Make You Pay (1977)
Joe Bataan - Sadie (1976)
Etta James - Jump Into Love (1973?)
Booty's Rubber Band - The Pinnochio Theory (1977)
Intrinsic Trance - Hey Policeman (1976)
Vic Caesar - Bare Knuckles Theme (1977)
Brian Bennett - The Prowler (1978)
Eunice Collins - At the Hotel (1974)
Lou Rawls - She's Gone (1976)
Little Beaver - Get into the Party Life (1974)
The 5th Dimension - Big John is my Name (1974)
The Supremes - You're My Driving Wheel (1976)
Jaye P Morgan - Let's Get Together (1976)
Milton Wright - Friends and Buddies (1975)
Rasputin's Stash - Love and Happiness (1976)
War - Why Can't We Be Friends (1975)

The Nice Guys - A Nice 'n' Nasty OST

"Do you like music? I've had a lot of luck lately with music therapies. Patients find it very calming...”

I've been enjoying Noah Hawley's ‘Fargo’ and ‘Legion’ and the work of composer Jeff Russo and music supervisor Maggie Phillips on both, so I thought I’d take a deep dive to the astral plane for a Legion soundtrack mix.

Everything is Connected - Dark Soundtrack Mix

Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting more disillusioned with SoundCloud with every change they make. The new algorithm and its 'recommendations' ignore mixes and any tracks over 10 mins, they've removed the New & Hot charts and replaced them with irrelevant crap like "Events near you", and this new UI has me searching for a way to revert it.
