Chef's Salad

This is the Arkle of compilation CDs. You can stuff all that Nick Hornby High Fidelity nonsense. All of this is music used in films; perhaps they're just damn good tracks (eg Rufus Wainwright's Hallelujah) or perhaps they mean more to me because of their association with my favourite films. My musical tastes are elevated enough but once refracted through the sensibilties of Wong-Kar Wai or the Coens they're painfully wanky.
