empire records: open ’til midnight

June 30, 2013
empirerecords

Empire Records has to be one of my favorite movies ever. I could literally rewatch this movie a million times and not get bored with it in the least. It’s your typical early-90’s teen movie, the feel of it borderlining between your classic, The Breakfast Club and your cult favorite, Dazed & Confused. I have an affinity with both of those movies (not to mention I’m a huge John Hughes fan, as well as a big fan of 80s teen movies). What I think makes Empire Records so great though, is its soundtrack.

And I don’t mean the 16-track soundtrack that was officially released as the “Official Soundtrack,” I mean the 40+ songs used throughout the entire film. This movie is pure ear candy. Granted, the premise of the film does surround the collapse of independent record stores in lieu of the establishment of giant music-chain megastores, so music is very important to the story’s backdrop. But this soundtrack goes above and beyond just being the film’s background music. In my opinion, it’s one of the greatest compilation of music ever.

A few years ago, when I first finished watching the movie, I made a Google search to see if I could find all the songs used in the movie. Of course, I downloaded the original soundtrack, which only contained 16 title songs, but I wanted the whole soundtrack. I was lucky enough to find a forum where this one guy listed all the songs (to his knowledge) that was in the film. He even attached a .zip file of all the listed songs. It was pure gold. Of course, not every song that was used in the film was on that list and in the .zip file. So over the years, I periodically searched the web for an updated list of songs in Empire Records. Today, I’ve got about 42 songs that were in the movie, though I know there are a few more songs that I am missing to complete this compilation.

Either way, I made a playlist of all the songs in order of appearance in the movie. Enjoy!

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
