It’s not on any of the official Blade Runner cd releases, but this cue has always stayed in the back of my mind.
Sounds like something shady lurking behind a dark alleyway, or being alone at a rather dreary subway stop, desperately waiting for the train to appear and whisk you away from the unknown.

I’ve come back to this album throughout my life—ever since I first saw Desperado as a kid in ’95. It was one of the first CDs I owned, and even then I knew the sounds here were somehow made just for me. Curated by Robert Rodriguez, it blends original score with handpicked tracks that move seamlessly between mariachi, soul funk, and sultry 90s rock—with bonus sexy vocals from Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek who star in the film.
My favorites shift depending on the season of life, but Six Blade Knife, Jack the Ripper, and Strange Face of Love always hit. The real magic is how the album flows—rare for a compilation—and how it doesn’t just take you back to the film but to a whole feeling: a dry, heat-warped afternoon in the frontera (Tijuana and Tecate come to mind) where everything feels slow, loud, and a little dangerous in the best way.

very broody, atmospheric, etherial and grimy. vocals are beautiful and raspy when we get them. also, the director of the movie worked on the soundtrack with his band which is cute.

I don’t understand how yall end up at these random ass places you do, come across the books on ancient polyrhythmic science or whatever you read, listen to those indescribably niche tracks I’ve never heard of before or since, or host art installations from your makeshift garage, but I love hearing about every little bit of it, beyond fascinating to know all your stories and passions and the things that occupy ya mind and keep you alive. It’s like a big canvas comprised of different jagged pieces that all add up to a whole.
I’ve only been on the app for two weeks or so and it’s already partly helped me heal from a lotta past grief and pain so I’m grateful to interact with yall.

It’s cool to learn new things, it’s cool to develop some new skills. It’s cool to be able to access a whole bunch of data and knowledge at your fingertips.
Don’t let some guy on a podcast become your father figure or give you financial advice or try to anoint you with another monolithic identity not too dissimilar from the one you vowed to leave behind.
Life doesn’t get any better, but YOU do.
