How have I been at this project for almost a year without devoting several entries to my favourite film of all time, Empire Records?

Blasphemy, I say.  Thus, welcome to Damn The Man! week.

The film boasts one of the best soundtracks of the 90s, and said official release is missing a good fifteen or so tracks.  So many great artists, essential ones of the time, feature in its key moments, that the film is a feast for a music junkie with a predilection for alternative and grunge.  Today’s first track is one such song, and befits a girl in search of her new destiny, as I am for the moment.

“Will I wake up
Some dream I made up
No I guess it’s reality
What will change us
Or will we mess up
Our only chance to connect
With a dream

Say a prayer for me
I’m buried by the sound
In a world of human wreckage

When I’m lost and I’m found
and I can’t touch the ground
I’m plowed into the sound… “
