Popsugar gave us a nice list of the music from the debut of American Horror Story Hotel, and that’s
great, because lots of times I want to know the songs I hear on TV shows, and
mostly I can’t find them. But Popsugar forgot the best reference: the hotel’s
theme music from the early part of the show, which was Joy Division’s: “The
Eternal”, the penultimate song from their last album: Closer.
So nice to hear that song again, and so nice to see that
some people in Hollywood have a good ear for this kind of music. So far, this
show sounds like my college playlist. But there’s so much more great gothic
type stuff, and I hope we hear lots more varied material from that era, like
specifically, Joy Division’s: “Dead Souls”.
BTW: I hope American
Horror Story Hotel will use some stuff from The Danse Society, like: “Danse
/ Move”, “There Is No Shame In Death”, “We’re So Happy”, “Dolphins”, etc.:
