Jon Brion vs. OMD
"Drive In" by Jon Brion, from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Odd but cozy selection coughed up by here, this from the extremely satisfying soundtrack to a beautiful film. Composer Jon Brion, as he always does, composed a score as joyful, as sad and as eerie as the film itself. This 2 minute 14 second interlude zigs and zags along until you can almost see the books disappearing from the shelves. Also great if you're stoned.
"Enola Gay" by OMD, from Organisation (1980)
This is one of those bands I've always liked but never really talked about, ya know? While I can't say I was paying attention when this beautiful pop number first jumped off their debut album, I can understand why it hit so hard. At the start of the 80s, this synth-heavy speed pop was where the tattered remains of disco retreated to. And it still holds up today.
THE WINNER: As pleasant as the Brion interludes always are, OMD gets this.
