Soundtrack Special: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

If you haven’t already noticed from former posts, I have an odd love for the old-school. This is perhaps the oldest I go, except for classical music, but man, it’s so great. The music perfectly accompanied the movie. Some of the tracks are funny, some are spiritual on a way that hymns have never achieved […]

Soundtrack Special: I Am Sam

It seems like you either love The Beatles or you hate them. There’s really no in-between. My boyfriend and I represent the two ends of that spectrum. I am the one who loves The Beatles, in case you were curious, so that is why I’m talking about this soundtrack. All it is are covers of […]

Soundtrack Special: Everything Is Illuminated

Who knew that Ukranian music would be the hit music soundtrack to my summer? Well, it was. After I saw Everything is Illuminated, I immediately attached myself to the story and to the soundtrack. It’s how I first got into Gogol Bordello as well, a great band, if I do say so myself. Anywho, the […]

Soundtrack Special: A Dirty Shame

I know, another dramatic shift, but I just couldn’t resist. John Waters is directorial genius at its very sleaziest, and I fall for it every time. This movie was no different. He picks the music that I love to listen to, that old-school rockabilly, doo-wop, girl group stuff that really gets my motor running…..as does […]

Soundtrack Special: August Rush

I know that this is a pretty dramatic difference from my last post, but I mean, I’m eclectic like that. Honestly, I have not been so captivated by a soundtrack in a really long time. The combination of classical music, crazy acoustic guitar fabulousness, and rock music by Johnathan Rhys Meyers….a winning combination. I […]

Soundtrack Special: Now and Then

Wow, words can’t even describe to you how often I listened to this soundtrack growing up. Now and Then was basically the pre-teen movie for me and all my friends. It was all about growing up, how we become different but still can remain friends because we have a bond that goes deeper than […]

Soundtrack Special: Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason

So, first on my list of soundtracks is the one to the second Bridget Jones’ movie. Yes, I enjoyed the first soundtrack as well, but this one ultimately wins out as the better one, with artists like Rufus Wainwright, Jamie Cullum, and The Darkness making an appearance at the oh-so-inevitable fight between Mark Darcy and […]

This Week’s Special: Movie Soundtrack Highlights!!!

Alright, so for some of you, and me included, it’s been spring break this week. Well, it’s been Spring Break for everyone at my work except for me, meaning I was there every day until today. Yayy……ugh. Anyway, that’s why I’ve decided to spend today talking about the many movie soundtracks I admire. Starting tomorrow, […]

Buy This: Vampire Weekend

Sure, maybe you’re not an Ivy Leaguer like the members of Vampire Weekend, (they’re all from Columbia), but hey, look like one and wear this sweatshirt to one of their shows. Maybe you’ll get an extra-special look from one of them, who knows? This great looking sweatshirt is only 44.95, a lovely shade of Navy […]
