T-Bone

Found an interesting article on T-Bone Burnett (a la August and Everything After, O Brother Where art Thou, Bob Dylan's Band, Raising Sands, Crazy Heart, etc...)

The line that caught me was the following in which he explains how he came up with the music for the soundtrack to The Big Lebowski:

"I didn't want to use anything that commented upon the people or looked down on them," he explained. "It was, 'What does The Dude put on just after he's made love?'. He'd come in, smoke a J, do a little t'ai chi, have a White Russian, listen to Captain Beefheart. That's a man after my own heart, someone I can look up to!"

Here's the link to the article:

The Wikipedia article is interesting, too:
