Prescripstapes - Chris Chambers - Stand By Me (1986)
Hello one and all, todays instalment is brought to you by a slightly erratic Izzy who accidentally had a non decaf coffee this morning... results may vary, but nonetheless, today we are making a mixtape for Chris Chambers, one of Izzy's (surprise surprise) all time favourite fictional characters, in Stand By Me (1986), Izzy's all time favourite movie, played by, you guessed it, Izzy's all time favourite actor, River Phoenix! Join us as Izzy races you through some (hopefully) interesting facts about the actor while journeying through the movie's plot to construct a short but sweet playlist for his character to enjoy (if you can actually understand what she's saying that is).
We hope you enjoy, sincerely, and, as promised, here are some artists the man of the hour himself once recommended as some of his favourite to listen to if you fancy diving deeper (it’s a lot of 70s stuff, but he also reportedly enjoyed folk, classical and jazz music)... who knew?
- Bob Dylan
- Older Bowie
- Older Roxy music (to fall asleep to)
- Early squeeze
- Old Steely Dan
- Some Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- The Beatles are 'his bible'
- U2
- XTC
- Bob Marley
- Fugazi
- Cypress Hill
- The Smiths
- Public Enemy
- Midnight Oil
- The Police.
How tremendous! Anyways, we'll see you! (Not if you see us first)...
P.S. Be sure to give River Phoenix's band 'Alex's Attic' a listen! You won't regret it!
