This Recording is a brimming repository of short pieces written by the smartest and funniest young men and women operating on the internet. No cultural figure or event escapes their eye, whether it be Harry Potter, Kristen Stewart, Liz Lemon or, in this case, Wes Anderson. This Recording is a daily point of reference and a source of insight more reliable than the entire A&E staff of the New York Times, combined.
The piece starts off with a quickie rundown of the Wes Anderson filmography before jumping into an illustrated and mp3-studded account of Anderson’s perfect mixtape. It’s both a well-rounded and unpredictable assembly, featuring stalwarts like Van Morrison alongside lesser-known performers like Seu Jorge. You could well analyze the list for insight into Anderson’s films, but you could also do the opposite.
Music has always been a key emotional ingredient in the director’s ouevre, and it makes for a pleasant thrill to see how Anderson scores his own life.
