The challenge this week on sugarfrostedgoodness.com is "noir".
I saw "Scream" a few days ago on one of the many movie channels on cable television. I had seen it several times before. It's not a great movie, but it is funny the way Wes Craven pokes fun at himself and the genre that made him famous.
The soundtrack features one of my favorite songs, Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand".
Nick Cave is an Australian musician, songwriter, author, screenwriter, and occasional actor. He is best known for his work with his band, the Bad Seeds, and his fascination with American music and its roots. He has a reputation, which he disowns and dislikes, for singing dark, brooding songs which some listeners regard as depressing. His music is characterised by intensity, high energy and a wide variety of influences. Cave's music exhibits his obsessions with religion, death, love, America, and violence with a bizarre, eclectic blend of blues, gospel, rock, and punk. "Red Right Hand", while obviously falling into the noir category, tells a story that is wide open to interpretation.
