What makes a great movie? Casting, a good story, and cinematography are all important. However, one characteristic that turns a good movie into a phenomenal one is the soundtrack. Music enhances emotions in a way that makes you feel exactly what the character feels. Immediately, you become one with the movie. As summer draws closer, it’s a great time to talk about two of my favorite summer movies and how their soundtracks are perfectly crafted.

I talk to myself. Sometimes it helps me stay awake on long drives, sometimes I need to hear myself say my week’s schedule aloud for memory’s sake and sometimes I need to curse my television set after I lose at Hex-A-Gone in Fall Guys (am I right fellas?). I like to think I keep my chatter within the normal bell curve of talking to oneself. For example, I have never created and voiced an imaginary friend, who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeded to converse with it. That would be pretty weird. But when legendary producer Madlib creates and voices an imaginary friend who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeds to converse with it for an hour on his 2000 record “The Unseen,” it’s pretty sick.

Swedish musician Benjamin Reichwald, whose moniker Bladee is pronounced more like a Wesley Snipes movie than a child’s nickname for a knife, has emerged from his experimental cocoon. Surfacing onto the scene as an autotune-soaked collaborator of Yung Lean, Bladee and long time friends Ecco2k, Thaiboy Digital and producer Whitearmor form the cloud rap supergroup Drain Gang. Although now Bladee would be a team captain for the 2023 Soundcloud all star game, his beginnings were humble. As in his music sounded like shit. For the uninitiated, Bladee’s work, particularly his older music, sounds like something you’d put on as a joke. But when the joke isn’t funny anymore and you keep playing it, you are left with the sad reality that you are a Bladee enjoyer.

The days are getting a little longer, the khaki shorts and tennis skirts are coming out and you’re breaking more of a sweat on your walk from Heilman Dining Center to the Humanities Building – you know what that means: spring is coming, and so are Warm Weather Playlists. If you’re anything like me, you start a new playlist for the spring the moment the temperature goes above 65 during a random global warming weather spike in February.

The Parsons Music Library is usually quiet on a Wednesday evening, filled with students getting work done for their Thursday classes or taking a solitary moment to practice their instruments. But in the music studio on the first floor of Parsons, the sound of music bounces off the walls as the boys of Dogpark, a band made up of five University of Richmond students, practice for their next show. Despite the small space they practice in, the band makes the room feel like a stadium show as they play “Hard to Handle” by The Black Crowes.

The return of live music after the past two years has been emotional, to say the least. Things may not be how they were before, with the mask protocols and COVID-19 vaccine or test requirements, but slowly, thankfully, the live music industry has been bouncing back.

Throughout the canon of modern music history, there are certain legendary years that stand out among the rest. I am not talking about the years that functionally changed music, such as 1964 which both debuted the Moog synthesizer and had Bob Dylan go electric. Nor am I talking about the years that symbolically changed music, like in 1959 on “the day the music died” as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. "The Big Bopper'' Richardson's plane crashed in an Iowan field. What I am discussing is something much sweeter and much less tragic: the years where music flourished. These are the years where good music – really good music – was like wine in that place where wine flows like water. These are the 1969s, the 1991s and the 2003s where for one reason or another, every major artist just happened to decide all within the same year to release groundbreaking work. These are years that future music enthusiasts look back at longingly, chin notched in palms, and say, “I wish I were there for that.” During these moments, music history was made every other Friday. And I, humble Collegian columnist and “wish I were there for that” music-enthusiast, declare that 2021 was such a year.
