Karen O Tells Us "All Is Love" in Where the Wild Things Are
Unsurprisingly, the first song off the soundtrack to Where the Wild Things Are, which already looks adorable and cool, is totally cute. Featuring the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' frontwoman Karen O and a collection of adults and children simply called "the Kids," the track is sweet and whimsical, with all the Kids' voices combining with Os high-pitched chirruping. In "All Is Love," the whole group repeats those three words over and over until you can't really do anything but smile and start to believe it.
Soundtrack Review: (500) Days of Summer
Note from Buzz: My buddy Bella is going to contribute some of her thoughtful musings about music here from time to time. Her inaugural post is an album review of the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack. Take it away, Bella!
She & Him Cover the Smiths on (500) Days of Summer Soundtrack
The soundtrack for Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's upcoming romantic film (500) Days of Summer (opening in limited release July 17) looks like an awesome lineup, and we've already checked out one of the songs, the Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition," featured in the movie's trailer. Also included on the soundtrack is the Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want," along with a cover of the song sung by Zooey Deschanel herself. Deschanel and M.
Five Notable '09 Soundtracks So Far
In this age of downloading a single song here and there, the fun of a good soundtrack is getting a little bit lost. Sure, they might just be glorified playlists, but I still get a kick out of them. Whether they invoke memories of a movie I really enjoyed or introduce me to new artists, I'm a sucker for a good soundtrack.
Buzz In: What Are Your Favorite Movie Songs?
Tonight, the American Idol top seven will take on their favorite songs from the movies (with special guest Quentin Tarantino). We've talked a lot around here about movie soundtracks and Oscar-winning songs, so naturally I'm excited to see what the Idol contestants pull out of the songbook tonight. I've been thinking all day about some of my favorite movie songs — this may or may not boil down to playing "Falling Slowly" and "Jai Ho" a whole bunch — and I thought I'd see if you had them on the brain, too.
Listen Up: Zooey Deschanel's "Yes Man"
Any excuse to listen to Zooey Deschanel's sweet, dreamy voice sounds good to me, so I'm psyched to hear the soundtrack songs for Jim Carrey's (and Zooey's!) next comedy Yes Man that feature Deschanel and some seriously awesome synthesizing (incidentally, much of the rest of the soundtrack is by another great artist: Eels). The lyrics are a little ridiculous but the song is so much fun I don't really care. It actually makes me want to jog, and trust me — that is no small feat.
Buzz Mix: The Best Soundtrack Songs of 2007
I recently shared with you my 2007 mix of general songs that I loved, a kind of soundtrack to my year. Now I've rounded up some actual soundtrack songs from TV shows and movies that stood out enough for me to track them down after turning off the TV or leaving the movie theater. Thus, if my entertainment-related experiences had a soundtrack this year, this mix is basically what it would look like.
Vanity Fair's Top Ten Movie Soundtracks
As with so many top whatever lists, this one, put together by the editors at Vanity Fair, has some that I completely agree with and others that leave me scratching my head. The Big Chill is a good one, as is Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction. But I'm surprised Magnolia's not on here, and I would think Forrest Gump might get a spot, too.
Music Video: Sondre Lerche, "To Be Surprised" from Dan in Real Life
As I mentioned earlier today, one of the few standout things about Dan in Real Life, which plods into theaters today, is the soundtrack, provided entirely by Sondre Lerche (well, except for one cover of "Let My Love Open the Door"). I've been a huge fan of Lerche's loungey style and smooth voice for years now. I've even seen the slight, adorable Norwegian with the foppish hairstyle perform live, and he's a real class act.
How Many Movie Soundtracks Do You Own?
The soundtrack to Spider-Man 3 looks to be surprisingly awesome, and thanks to Stereogum you can already listen to the new Flaming Lips song that will be featured in the movie. The soundtrack might end up with the other excellent soundtracks in my collection, like the ones from Magnolia and Garden State. From my movie soundtrack Buzzworthy challenge I know you enjoy them, too, but tell me just how much.
