because mondays are made of dark disco...

jean luc goddard with all the wisdom of his swiss-french nouvelle vague-ness, once stated that all anyone needed to make a movie was a girl and a gun. and a gosling it seems.
drive, directed by danish film maker nicolas winding refm is the ultimate hollywood heist-movie-gone-wrong. but all the better for its moody neo noir, comic gore, b-movie aesthetics. the soundtrack, as like the movie, is winsomely retro and smooth, providing us with this gorgeous dark disco song ‘real hero’ by college featuring electric youth.
we may as a result even sit our driving test now. or at least head for our nearest chevy dealership and listen to this tune on an i-pod we robbed from a pawn shop.
