A Big Bulging Sound

I don't think it will surprise many of you, given all the posting that I've done about it, that the gay biker BDSM romance (or "dom-com" as it's come to be known) Pillion will be one of my favorite movies of 2025. (And yeah I personally will be counting it as a 2025 release because it's being considered that way for awards attention even though it's really not hitting U.S. theaters until February.) Here is my review of the movie from when it screened at NYFF -- I've been relentlessly delighted by the film's press run, and done the posting to prove it. Anyway one thing I haven't mentioned is the music for the film from musician Oliver Coates, and that's a darn shame because I like the music a lot -- so let me seize onto this news that tumbled into my inbox today and do just that. The film's score is getting a digital release this Friday -- presumably you'll be able to listen to it at all the usual places you listen to music. But the even better news if you ask me is A24 is promising a physical release of the score (presumably that means my beloved vinyl) to sync with the film's official theatrical release in February! I don't know if the above art-work (which is for the digital) will be actually the vinyl's cover, but I sure hope it is. It's serving The Rolling Stones' infamous album Sticky Fingers, for real. (Which was photographed by Warhol -- I always thought it was supposed to be Joe Dallesandro but Wikipedia says there are several bulges vying for the esteemed honor.)
