now playing: soundtracks
I love soundtracks. Sometimes I even like the movie to which the soundtrack is attached. Although I didn't like Garden State much, I appreciated Zach Braff's organization of songs and how he kind of crafted the story around them, instead of vice versa. Other movies, like The Wedding Singer, featured music that was almost a character on its own (remember George singing Culture Club? or rapping Granny?).
Enjoy some songs that can be found on great soundtracks and the great movies that accompany them.

I heard somewhere that "Exit Music (For a Film) from OK Computer was written for "Romeo and Juliet," but there was some mixup or dispute so they ended up contributing "Talk Show Host" instead. Gotta love that beat. And I LOVE the vibraphone version of "Playground Love." Cheers.
