Mixtape Vol. 15

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench,

a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free,

and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

Happy Birthday Man in Black

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. 

Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, 

but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, 

or any of your time, or any of your space."

Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo

I forgot how much I enjoyed The Good the Bad and the Ugly until I came across Bandini's Remix of Ennio Morricone's - L'Estesi Dell'Oro (The Ectasy of Gold) on hypem.com courtesy of popgoestheradio.
Originally released in Italy, it is a classic Clint Eastwood western directed by Sergio Leone and is the 3rd and final film in The Dollars Trilogy. If you haven't seen the movie don't watch the clip above because it is one of the final scenes. You might also recognize the song from a Nike commercial.
