Tarantino Discussing the Music used in Inglourious Basterds

A Billboard interview with Quentin Tarantino discussing the music used in Inglourious Basterds.

The Soundtrack

'Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds: Motion Picture Soundtrack' is the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's motion picture, Inglourious Basterds. It was originally released on August 18th 2009. The Soundtrack uses a variety of music genres, including spaghetti western soundtrack excerpts, R&B, and the David Bowie song, "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)". This is the first soundtrack for a Quentin Tarantino film not to feature dialogue excerpts. The French "The Man with the Big Sombrero" was recorded for the movie. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for the 'Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television, or Other Visual Media', but lost to Slumdog Millionaire (soundtrack).
