The
Color Series comes to a close with the first ever Guest DJ offering from
AA Dowd. As the Film Editor of the
A.V. Club, and former Head Film Writer for Time Out Chicago, this unrepentant film junkie obviously spends most of his time focused on cinema. Few critics offer such insightful and mind opening reviews while still having a firm grasp on what makes movies a truly enjoyable experience. In his own words "Movies and language are my passions. I encourage feedback and relish debate. I will write for food or best offer." Give him you best on Twitter
@AADowd.
However, he was persuaded to put together a playlist that I happen to think fits quite perfectly into the week leading up to Valentine's Day: Black As My Heart. As has been the case with all of the other episodes in the Color Series, Mr. Dowd had to pick songs with a specific color in the title, artist name, or album title. Here's what he came up with:
Artist / Track / Album
Metric / Black Sheep / Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World soundtrack
Kanye West / Black Skinhead / Yeezus
Menomena / Queen Black Acid / Mines
Agalloch / Birch Black / The White EP
The Velvet Underground / The Black Angel’s Death Song / The Velvet Underground and Nico
The White Stripes / Black Math / Elephant
Beck / Black Balloon / "Tropicalia" single
Local Natives / Black Balloons / Hummingbird
Black Sabbath / Paranoid / Paranoid
Shabazz Palaces / Youlogy / Black Up
Johnny Cash / Man in Black / Man in Black
Pavement / Black Out / Wowee Zowee
Panopticon / Black Waters / Kentucky
