“Yes, David Fincher asked us to do a cover of Bryan Ferry’s “Is Your Love Strong Enough?” for Dragon Tattoo. It will be on the soundtrack.”

From the soundtrack to “Legend” to “Dragon Tattoo”.
Let’s hope it’s *not* a nu metal cover :-P
College - A Real Hero (feat. Electric Youth)
Here’s one of the cool songs included in Drive’s soundtrack.

Ray LaMontagne - Jolene (ending credits of “The Town”, song from Ray’s first record “Trouble”)
“A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do”
Common (feat. Queen Latifah) – Next Time (produced by Kanye West, “Just Wright” soundtrack)
Composer Hans Zimmer’s ultra-slow manipulation of an Edith Piaf song displays the beauty in bringing the BPM right down (via caliconotes)
The whole soundtrack of “Our Family Wedding” is made with songs by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, The Budos Band, The Menehan Street Band and José James! Because for once it’s a cool and classy soundtrack (for a bad movie, ok ok), they didn’t put it out, but you can retrieve the songs on the artists’ respective cds.
Marvin Gaye - Got To Give It Up (Part 1) (1977) (via sarahmay)
“Midnight margaritas!”
Vonda Shepard & Robert Downey Jr. - “Chances Are” (2001) (via fuckyeahrdj)
“Chances are I’ll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You’ll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I’ll hold you and I’ll offer
All I have”
I love their cover of the song (one of my faves since I first heard it on the “Hope Floats” soundtrack, the whole cd is fab btw)
You know, Rob can carry a tune, but he’s definitely *not* a belter. But in this song he really shines, maybe it’s the lower register, more similar to his speaking voice, I dunno. :-)
“What’s your favourite Coen Bothers movie? I must have seen Fargo 4 times and I have a need to see The Big Lebowski at least once a year. Over Christmas my wife and I really enjoyed No Country For Old men on the DVD. I have a strong memory of “O Brother Where Art Thou” as I was recording an album at the time and Davie Scott, my good pal, had just been to see it and recommended it to us. We went to the cinema and I’ll never forget the moment when I saw and, more importantly, *heard* the baptism scene for the first time. It was for that reason that we, like millions of others, went out and bought the soundtrack the next day.
It’s ten years since the movie came out and we think it’s an appropriate soundtrack to start our occasional series, “The Beginners Guide to Americana.” The soundtrack, for many people, was either a re affirmation of all they suspected about country or the first creak of a door being opened to a Narnia-like new world.”
