Juno Gets a Second Soundtrack - With More Ellen Page

BuzzSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:30:23 PDT

The sweet, quirky Juno soundtrack was - much like the movie that spawned it - one of those little indies that could. Filled with songs by the relatively little-known Moldy Peaches and their spinoff projects, the soundtrack shot to the top of the Billboard charts in January. And now, it's getting a sequel!

Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs will be available April 8 via iTunes (it's already available for pre-order) and will include 15 more songs that just barely didn't make the cut for the film. As director Jason Reitman wrote in the liner notes: "None of these songs made the movie, but they are all essential members of the Junoverse."

The roster of artists looks a lot like the first soundtrack, with songs from Belle and Sebastian, Kimya Dawson, and Buddy Holly. There are two new songs by Mateo Messina, who composed music for the film, called "Meet the MacGuffs" and "Meet the Lorings." And there's also another track from Ellen Page, whose song - "Zub Zub" - was written by screenwriter Diablo Cody herself. Apparently, the song comes from a scene where Juno was just fooling around on the guitar, singing lyrics like "he filled me with baby batter, then we ate some orange Tic Tacs after." Heh. The scene got cut for time, but luckily, now the song's preserved for posterity.

Juno Soundtrack Now Available Online

BuzzSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 09:30:00 PST

Here's a piece of news I'm going to tell you "honest to blog:" as of today you can purchase the soundtrack to Juno digitally. The movie itself is very fantastic in so many ways, and one of these is the usage - and selection - of music. From the original music of Kimya Dawson to old favorites by folks like Cat Power, The Kinks, and Sonic Youth (little Sonic Youth inside joke chuckle here for anyone who's seen the movie), the soundtrack isn't just good for a soundtrack - it's also a solid mix.

In my opinion, this is the best part: Ellen Page and Michael Cera recorded their own version of "Anyone Else But You" for the film and this track made it onto the soundtrack as well. If you're anything like me (and if you've seen the movie), that news just made sweet, little tears of joy well up in your eyes. So check out the digital version of the soundtrack or else wait until it comes out in stores Jan. 15.
