film fatales #198: coda (siân heder, 2021)
all of us strangers (andrew haigh, 2023)

music friday: 1982

Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger". Also known as the Rocky III song. The band in the video attempts to look like bad asses. They don't succeed.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". In this video, Joan Jett looks more bad ass than Survivor.

Kid Creole and the Coconuts, "Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy". Kid Creole was August Darnell, who had formed Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band with his brother Stony Browder Jr. It could just be me, but I feel like this band is largely forgotten today, but they made more than a dozen albums back in the day.

Bonus: "Edge of Seventeen" was a track from Stevie Nicks' 1981 debut album Bella Donna. It was released as a single in 1982, but the real reason I've added it here is because the opening guitar lick sounds a lot like the one in "Eye of the Tiger":
