Includes new ly recorded, original songs, and music by Sam Phil ips and Grant-Lee Philips just for the soundtrack, plus opening thenme song "Where You Lead I Will Follow" by Carole King & Louise Groffin.Reviews:
Executive producers Amy Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino have clearlybeen searching out individualistic pop music of all stripes for a long time.For only on the soundtrack records for the films of Wes Anderson ("Rushmore,""The Royal Tennenbaums") does one find such a unique and unpredictablecollection of well-chosen music by such strong artists—almost universallyusing distinctive LP tracks over the usual singles favored for soundtracks andcompilations.Aside from one truly asinine 1999 track by Black Box Recorder (memo to the giftedbut disagreeable grouch Luke Haines, late of Auteurs, who repeats the choruslyric, "Life is unfair/ Kill yourself or get over it." What is unfairis having to listen to your lame smugness), and an ineffective college-try effortfrom the ageless Claudine Longet (overmatched by The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson'smystical Pet Sounds triumph "God Only Knows,") there are somany corners of fun and enterprising pop here, one hardly knows where to begin.Any comp/show that so prominently features the magnificent Pernice Brothers("Clear Spot") gets our approval, as does the Shins new favorite,"Know Your Onion!," and the much younger Ash's "Girl FromMars." But who wouldn't stop dead for the immortal beauty of Big Star'solympian Radio City track "Thirteen" from three decades ago?Doesn't Björk ("Human Behavior") sound bewitched, PJ Harvey("One Line") bothered, and perennial, scratchy-voiced Sam Phillips("Tell Her What She Wants to Know") bewildered? 21st century XTC isstill going strong on "The Man Who Murdered Love," and Komeda, whosound so much like the late, lamented Salad, defines zippy on "It'sAlright Baby." Joey Ramone's adios amigos, fare-thee-well cover of"What a Wonderful World" (of Louis Armstrong fame) is inarguably great,too.
There is great demand for lasting, quirky, non-rote, singular music—despitewhat the music industry seems to think—and you'll find it in spadeson this collection.
