Hands up who watched The Cut Music Special today??

Oh wait. I forgot I couldn't type if I put my hands in the air. Oops. If you missed it and want to see chats with the cast and crew, plus band performances and interviews, then ch-ch-check it out on iplayer right now :) /iplayer/episode/b00tp7w7/The_Cut_Music_Special/

So now you know a bit about how the music gets chosen and why certain music works for certain scenes, I felt it only right to ask some of the cast for their ideal tracklisting:

Lara (aka Marla): Ram Jam - 'Black Betty'

Billie (aka Olive): Rolling Stones - 'Wild Horses'

Ed (aka Tommy): Ben folds five - 'One Angry dwarf and 200 Solomn Faces'

Scarlett (aka Rosa): Kelis - '4th of July'

Deborah (aka Catherine): Paolo Nutini - 'Pencil Full of Led'

    *raises hand* :D Can you make a spotify playlist of all the songs mentioned in this episode please?

  • Comment number 2.

    Oh, and my suggestion is anything by 'INTERPOL' the American band, they have a new album coming out very soon (13th of september), and they have songs to fit lots of moods, usually with very dark undertones. 'Narc' might be a good song for the cut. Also there are many songs which are mainly instrumental, such as 'untitled'.

    My favourite song by them is Song Seven. If I had a playlist like Lara Goodison, this song would be on it. Not for the lyrics, but for the instrumental close to the end.

    (another suggestion is 'Outta Heart' By 'Hot Hot Heat')

    -Raises hands- Yhh it was really gd and I found lots of new songs :))

    * Raises hands * and does some sort of strange dance and her mother looks at her quite strangely but oh well

    Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh, you should do these like more often because I think they are fantastic, there should be like interviews from the cast and the director and stuff like that because it would be so interesting to show what they thought through out the series rather than just in the sort of inbetween bit when theres nothing else ... but it was fantastic

    I would suggest 'Goldfish' by Siobhan Donaghy,lyrically it could be quite apt for Alex's character as the lyrics deal with isolation.Also 'Horse And I' by Bat For Lashes is an extremley tense track.I could just imagine a scene with a confrontaion where this song is in the backround,especially with the marching-style backing track,lol.

    heyy :)
    I'm sorry I don't know where else on the website i can ask you questions Vicky and Isla so I'm posting it here.
    My first question is, in series one do you know what the name of the pattern or where you got marla's wallpeper from, this is in the house before they mmoved :), because I love it so much :)

    Also my second question, whereabouts is the cut filmed??
    I know roughly where but I would really love to go and see the amazing places where you have filmed it all :)
    thank you so much and I LOVE THE CUT!!
    :)

    Hey! Cordelia obviously I'm not Vicky or Isla but I do have some ideas for wallpaper like that :D.
    If you were looking for almost exactly the same wallpaper but in black than I would say look at this:


    But if your looking for it in pink than this looks good:

    or


    I'd have to say the last one looks really good and it's in pounds so knock yourself out and I hope you like it!! xx

    Haven't had a chance to watch the Music Special yet, but I definitely plan to one of these days. Anyway, there were just a couple of things I wanted to say:

    1) My best friend went to see Legally Blonde: The Musical, so he would probably have been there at the same time as Vicki.
    2) I was in a bookshop today and I found a book called Murder In The Mews! I didn't know The Cut was around in Agatha Christie's time...

    Thanks Vicki, and glad you had a lovely time.

    :)

  • Comment number 21.

    i reeeeaalllyyy recommend using music by joe brooks, needtobreathe and parachute. every single one of all their songs are so so good and really 'cutty'! joe brooks really needs to be heard more ahh. well anyway, all 3 of those people/bands have music for every mood and i would just love to hear their music being used in any episode! thaaaanks :)
