Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 63

This week it is more music from the soundtrack to Atomic Blonde. As noted last week, the film is an adaptation of the graphic novel The Coldest City. Each is a different experience, but both worth checking out. As much as I love the film, I really dig the graphic novel more. The setting is the city of Berlin just as the infamous Berlin Wall is about to get torn down, and the world was about to change.

In the meantime some music.

HEALTH did a cover of New Order’s Blue Monday – and made it sound even more bleak than the original. I’ll keep adding to this diary entry as time permits.

Remember The Politics of Dancing? It was quite a hit back in the early 1980s. Seemed to fit in pretty well with the film. Really, there were few if any mis-steps with the song selection of the soundtrack.
