Repo Man – Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. (1984)
Repo Man is a 1984 American science fiction black comedy film written and directed by Alex Cox in his directorial debut. It stars Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez, with Tracey Walter, Olivia Barash, Sy Richardson, Vonetta McGee, Fox Harris, and Dick Rude among the supporting cast. Set in Los Angeles, the plot concerns a young punk man (Estevez) who is recruited by a car repossession agency and gets caught up in the pursuit of a mysterious Chevrolet Malibu that might be connected to extraterrestrials.
The soundtrack, headlined by a main theme composed and performed by Iggy Pop, is noted as a snapshot of 1980s hardcore punk;[7] Cox wanted the music to underscore the life of repo men.[7][8]
Despite a troubled initial release due to Universal’s skepticism towards the film’s commercial viability, Repo Man received widespread acclaim, and was deemed by critics to be one of the best films of 1984.[9][10] It has since gained a cult following, particularly surrounding Cox’s re-edited version of the film for television due to its deliberate inclusion of surreal overdubs to replace profanity.[5] A stand-alone sequel based on an unproduced screenplay by Cox, Waldo’s Hawaiian Holiday, was published as a graphic novel in 2008, while a spiritual successor, Repo Chick, was released in 2009.
Circle Jerks (stylized as Ciʀcle JƎʀᴋs) are an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1979 in Los Angeles, California. The group was founded by former Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris and Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson. To date, Circle Jerks have released six studio albums, one compilation, a live album and a live DVD. Their debut album, Group Sex (1980), is considered a landmark of the hardcore genre.
