“So I bury it, and forget!”
In 2002, Quentin Tarantino, one of the most influential film directors in the world, walked into a secondhand clothing store in Tokyo, Japan. A track was playing over the speakers. He asked the man behind the counter if he could buy the CD right then and there. The man refused. Tarantino offered twice the retail price. The man eventually gave in.
The band was The 5.6.7.8's. Two sisters, Yoshiko and Sachiko Fujiyama, had been playing raw 1960s-influenced garage rock in Tokyo since 1986. They had a small but devoted following. Almost nobody outside Japan had heard of them.
Within a year they were performing in Kill Bill: Volume 1, one of the most talked about films of 2003, playing to millions of people in cinemas around the world.
Their song Woo Hoo, a cover of a 1959 American track they had never considered particularly important, became one of the most recognised opening riffs of a generation. It hit the top thirty in the United Kingdom. It appeared in television commercials around the world. Their tours went from Tokyo to North America, Europe and Australia. Jack White of The White Stripes, who became a fan, helped release their back catalogue through his Third Man Records label in the United States.
Interestingly, back home in Japan, almost nothing changed. Their profile there remained almost exactly the same.
They are still together. Still playing.
Absolutely blown away by the brilliance of Christopher Cross—and what a joy to see the incredibly talented Dudley Moore at the piano. Pure musical magic. What a treat! 💖🎶

Not created by me, but very clever. I know AI isn’t popular with everyone, but I’m sure David Bowie would have been creative using it don’t you think? #DavidBowie
Slade's Flame Soundtrack Ballad
How Does It Feel released as the second single from the band's first soundtrack album and fifth studio album Slade in Flame on February 7, 1975 in promotion of the film of the same name.
The song was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Chas Chandler. It reached No. 15 in the UK, remaining in the charts for seven weeks.
The melody for "How Does It Feel" was the first one Lea composed while still in school. He conceived the idea on an old piano, which he later described as missing half its keys. Although the tune didn't progress further at that time, Lea revisited it later for the theme of Flame.
Holder wrote the lyrics, and it became "How Does It Feel". The song included a brass section performed by members of Gonzalez.
In the band's 1984 biography, Feel the Noize!, Lea recalled, "It was an old song I'd written, and Nod added some great lyrics to it. Tommy Vance said it was good but warned we might face challenges.
However, I didn't care whether it was number one or number 15... to me, it was a much better record than we'd made before, and that was all I cared about."
Personally I love the track, and think it was deserving of much higher place than 15.
How do you feel, about this release?
When filming wrapped on The Goonies (1985), director Richard Donner escaped the chaos and flew home to Hawaii. So Steven Spielberg secretly sent the entire cast there to surprise him on his birthday. Here’s the incredible footage:
