Dazed and Confused Memories of Yore!
March 10, 2008
Thumbs Up: I met, then became friends with Wiley on the job at Aspyr Media. That’s where I co-produced the fantastic Stubbs The Zombie (xBox game) soundtrack and Mr. Wiggins did fancy computer-related stuff that was way over my head. Surely y’all recognize this talented young man from his lead roles in Richard Linklater’s Dazed & Confused and Waking Life, right? I love BOTH the movies and am a lucky boy to claim sir Wiggins as a friend. It was fun bumping into him today at SXSW… Tomorrow is going to be nuts!
While I’m on the subject, please enjoy the following trailer for Stubss The Zombie. Yep. Me and my incredibly beloved friend, Zach Rener, were lucky enough to pitch, hire and suggest tunes for all the bands on this soundtrack, including Ben Kweller and Oranger - whose songs both appear in this clip. I’ll never forget Ben’s stoner TX drawl over the phone. (paraphrased, of course) “Yeah. I can see doing ‘Lolliop.’ You know? When them zombies are biting folks heads off? Plop!” (makes a head popping off sound with his thumb and cheek)
