Here’s every song in ‘Beckham’ on Netflix
Netflix documentary series about the life of David Beckham has now started to stream – and it comes with an extensive new soundtrack.According to an official synopsis, Beckham “tells the inside story of a global football star and cultural icon.” The four-part series explores “his humble working-class beginnings in east London, his drive and determination to win, and the battle to find balance between ambition, love and family, David’s story is one of immense ups and downs.”It continues: “The series takes you on that rollercoaster and builds a surprising, personal and definitive story of one of the most recognisable and scrutinised athletes of all time.”Academy Award-winner Fisher Stevens (Palmer, And We Go Green, The Cove) along with Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning producer John Battsek (One Day in September, Searching for Sugar Man, Winter on Fire) have been granted “unprecedented access” to David, his wife Victoria, his family, his friends and his team-mates for the documentary.Netflix say this has resulted in “an intimate portrait of a man as well as a chronicle of late-modern sports and celebrity culture.” The film’s soundtrack features many acts from the nineties at the height of Beckham’s fame, including Blur, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene – and of course, The Spice Girls.You can watch the film’s trailer here: Season 1: Episode 1 Songs – The Kick‘Supersonic’ – Oasis ‘Sрice Uр Your Life’ – Spice Girls‘Gangster Trippin’ – Fatboy Slim‘Here I Come’ – The RootsSeason 1: Episode 2 Songs – Seeing Red‘Sing’ – Blur‘Hundred Mile High City’ – Ocean Colour Scene‘Steal My Sunshine’ – LenSeason 1: Episode 3 Songs – Goldenballs ‘Salute Your Solution’ – The Raconteurs‘Gimme Some Lovin’ – The Spencer Davis Group’10:03′ – Doves‘Eve

Danger Mouse and Black Thought announce collaborative album ‘Cheat Codes’
Danger Mouse and Black Thought have announced that they’ll be dropping a collaborative album this summer.Set to be released on August 12 via BMG, ‘Cheat Codes’ is Danger Mouse’s first hip-hop full-length since his ‘DANGERDOOM’ collaboration with the late MF DOOM which was released back in October 2005.It follows Black Thought’s pioneering output with legendary Philadelphia group The Roots and his critically acclaimed solo trilogy, ‘Streams Of Thought’ – the third volume of which was released in 2020.‘Cheat Codes’ – which was initially rumoured to be called ‘Dangerous Thoughts’ – is something that the pair began the initial idea for “maybe 13 or 14 years ago”, Black Thought revealed when he first teased the project in an interview back in 2020.“It’s a feel-good record,” he said. “It’s a record for people who got into hip-hop and sort of evolved at the same period of time that we did. We’re the elder statesmen at this point, so I feel like this record is reflective of that too.”Black Thought added that the album – which features; A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Kid Sister, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Raekwon, Conway The Machine and more – is “a return for [Danger Mouse] to hip-hop and to sampling in this way”.The announcement comes alongside the album’s first single, ‘No Gold Teeth’, a razor-sharp cut that hears Black Thought deliver a lyrical clinic over Danger Mouse’s dizzying backdrop.You can watch the song’s hypnotic video, directed by UNCANNY, the UK-based creative duo of George Muncey and Elliot Elder, above.01. ‘Sometimes’02. ‘Cheat Codes’03. ‘The Darkest Part’ (feat.
