Since the website 8tracks is shutting down with such short notice I have saved copies of the track lists of all of the Booshy fan mixes that were tagged on the site, and I also made sure to manually add the playlist notes that were written by the creators. I have uploaded the files to my Google Drive for anyone who would like to have copies.

This song plays as God appears to William Jessop and Ghost of a Flea.

The number of music references in just the first thirty seconds of yesterday’s Bake Off were like a gift to this blog. That will keep me busy for quite a while! I also now have an excuse to make an entire Bake Off music references playlist soon.

Neil Blender - Dinosaur Jr.’s Without a Sound album cover artwork

The Great British Bake Off - Biscuit Week, Series 10

The jumper worn by Noel features art based off of the cover artwork for the band Dinosaur Jr.’s album Without a Sound (as seen in the included video). The cover art was originally painted by Neil Blender for the album.

The Orb - Oxbow Lakes

The Mighty Boosh - Mutants (television episode)

After Howard tells Vince that his face is visually noisy, like a brass band, Vince says that Howard’s face is ambient, like The Orb’s third album (Orbus Terrarum). The song Oxbow Lakes is the third track from that album.

In addition to the Surrealissimo soundtrack from last week, (which is still incomplete because of a couple of songs that I couldn’t identify), I have made two more new playlists, one for the Brakes soundtrack, and another for the Sally4Ever soundtrack. The Brakes soundtrack playlist is only incomplete because one song isn’t available on YouTube, and I still need to do a full rewatch of Sally4Ever to double check that I got all of the songs, so it is possible that some songs may be missing from that playlist.

New Playlists

(Incomplete) Surrealissimo: The Scandalous Success of Salvador Dalí soundtrack

(Incomplete) Brakes soundtrack

Alan Vega - light sculptures

Luxury Comedy - The Jelly Fox

The lights on Ghost of a Flea were inspired by Alan Vega’s light sculptures which were created from neon tubing, scrap electrical parts, and bulbs, and in a description of Ghost of a Flea, Noel mentioned that the Loose Tapestries song Ghost of a Flea (Happy Birthday Song) was meant to be in the style of Alan Vega and his band Suicide.

Suicide - Ghost Rider

Luxury Comedy - The Jelly Fox

In a description of Ghost of a Flea, Noel mentioned that the Loose Tapestries song Ghost of a Flea (Happy Birthday Song) was meant to be in the style of Alan Vega from the band Suicide. Alan Vega was also an artist who made paintings and drawings as well as created colourful light sculptures from neon tubing, scrap electrical parts, and bulbs.

Erik Satie - Parade ("ballet réaliste") for orchestra

Surrealissimo: The Scandalous Success of Salvador Dalí

During the scene where the Surrealists are first being introduced the music used is Erik Satie’s Parade, which is also used in various other scenes throughout the film. The music was originally written for a ballet by Jean Cocteau for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes that was about a publicity parade in which a troupe of circus artists try to attract an audience for their performance. The noise-making instruments were added to the score by Jean Cocteau, and the set, curtain, and costume designs for the ballet were by (then-Cubist artist) Pablo Picasso, with Italian futurist artist Giacomo Balla aiding Pablo Picasso in the creation of some of his designs. The program notes written in 1917 by poet Guillaume Apollinaire described Parade as "a kind of surrealism" (une sorte de surréalisme), which was the first time the term "surrealism" was ever used to describe a work, three years before the emergence of Surrealism as an art movement in Paris.

Claude Monet - The Water-Lily Pond (National Gallery, London)

The IT Crowd

A print of this painting by Claude Monet from his Water Lilies (or Nymphéas) series appears in Jen’s office. There are approximately 250 works in the Water Lilies series, all depicting Claude Monet’s flower garden, which was the primary subject for his art during the last thirty years of his life, many of which were painted when his vision was affected by cataracts. Since there are so many paintings of the same garden, some of the pieces can initially appear to be very similar, but there are differences in the angles and direction of light.

It has been a while since I have done updates on the YouTube playlists, but I have made a new one today for the Surrealissimo soundtrack. It isn’t complete however, but it is missing only a couple of songs that I could not identify. There aren’t notes for what scenes each song is used during yet, but I plan to add those soon.

Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric?

The Mighty Boosh - Tundra (television episode)

At the end of the television episode Tundra, the polar bear hums the tune of and sings lyrics that are based on the song Are 'Friends' Electric? after having learned about Gary Numan from Vince.

[booshtube]

John Handy - Carnival

The Mighty Boosh - Pilot and Tundra (television episode)

On the Pilot and Tundra television episodes, this song is used while Vince is shown getting on with a polar bear.

Henry Wallis - The Death of Chatterton (Tate Britain)

Henry Wallis - The Death of Chatterton (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery)

Henry Wallis - The Death of Chatterton (Yale Center for British Art)

Journey of the Childmen: The Mighty Boosh on Tour

Noel suggested that he looked like The Death of Chatterton by Henry Wallis, in which there are three different versions, all depicting the young poet Thomas Chatterton, shown after he had deliberately ended his own life by poisoning himself with arsenic when he was seventeen years old. The model for the paintings was the novelist and poet George Meredith.

The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

The Mighty Boosh - Charlie

On the episode Charlie, the music from this song plays when Vince swears on Jagger at his Mick Jagger shrine that he will keep away from Mrs Gideon.

[booshtube]

Henry Pryce Jackman - Lullaby

The Mighty Boosh - Charlie

On the episode Charlie, this song is used each time that Howard looks at the calming picture of the kittens in a barrel having a whale of a time. This song is originally from Henry Pryce Jackman’s 2003 solo album Utopia.
