1. Kids (1995) “Kids was my first movie as music supervisor, and it was a big surprise. Larry Clark had made this crazy movie, we’d created all this music for it, and then we had a Top 40 hit with Natural One, by Folk Implosion. The script was written by Harmony Korine, who I met when he was 20 years old. On the manuscript it said, ‘Kids - By The World Famous Writer Harmony Korine’.

I was like, ‘Who is this person?’ I have to meet him!’ I love Harmony, he has great instincts for what’s happening. He was really interested in the musical subculture that I guess I was living in at the time, so there was a really strong connection there.” 2. Rushmore (1998) “Wes Anderson and I have been using the Rolling Stones in all our movies together. We were saying the other day that they’ve kind of become members of the troupe, and they’ve become very supportive of us.

As for the expense, these are arguments that I have with film producers all the time: sometimes the cost of a song, I don’t mind it, because if something is expensive it just means that everybody else hasn’t been using it. Theirs is one of the most unique and compelling bodies of music, and with Rushmore, where we used I Am Waiting [from their 1966 album Aftermath], Wes was very impressed with the 1960s angry young man imagery.

The Stones were these brattish-looking guys in these crisp suits, and I think he found a correspondence in the sound and the image of the band. For many of us, because we weren’t buying those records as they were coming out, the Stones’ music speaks to a romantic notion of a past where youth culture was exploding. I think it speaks to a certain defiance of authority, which has a currency in that movie.” 3.
