‘Body of War’ Soundtrack

February 29th, 2008 by Kenna McHugh in Music, Online Videos, Soundtrack

tomasandbrother.gifNew artist Brendan James appearing on the Body of War soundtrack.  A double album filled with politically charged songs, artists like Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder are featured along with Brendan’s “Hero Song,” capturing the message of the Body of War film. 

Check out the live performance from Brendan! “Hero Song”

Before you get to songs by the many stars that contributed to the ‘Body of War: Songs that Inspired an Iraq War Veteran’ soundtrack, you hear “Hero’s Song” by Brendan James. James’ ode to our soldiers in Iraq was handpicked by the film’s subject and curator, Tomas Young, as the lead track on the double disc, preceding the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, Neil Young, Tori Amos, Ben Harper, Serj Tankian and Eddie Vedder.  
 
Tomas Young was wounded during his first week of duty in Iraq, becoming paralyzed from the chest down.  He discovered “Hero’s Song” via Brendan James’ Myspace page and, following a personal phone call between the singer-songwriter and veteran, Young insisted that “Hero’s Song” appear first on the soundtrack.

“Juno” a Special Movie With an Extra Special Sountrack

January 30th, 2008 by Kenna McHugh in Movie News, Music, Soundtrack, The Movie Biz

coverart_297×2971.gifI just got done listening to “Juno” soundtrack to the popular movie.  It is so wonderful, you can actually see the movie again as you listen to the music.  Here is the lastest information on the soundtrack.

Rhino kicks off its 30th anniversary year in January with its first #1 album on the Billboard Album chart: the “Juno” soundtrack. As the indie comedy phenomenon continues to gather steam (“Juno” garnered four Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture), its quirky soundtrack continues to rack up sales — with an additional vinyl release in the wings.

The “Junoverse” expands next month as a limited-edition orange vinyl version of the Juno soundtrack arrives on February 18 (suggested retail price: $13.98). February also brings a Juno ringtone, Ellen Page and costar Michael Cera’s cover of The Moldy Peaches’ “Anyone Else But You,” available from all major carriers. The charming duet, which closes the film, has also been added as a video on MTV.

The “Juno” soundtrack was initially rolled out to digital retailers in December as the film was opening in select cities. “Juno” has steadily gained momentum in the marketplace thanks to strong word of mouth — and an unusual degree of synergy between the movie and its soundtrack. The film’s young star, Ellen Page, suggested using the music of The Moldy Peaches, and the 19-track “Juno” soundtrack includes eight songs featuring that band’s Kimya Dawson. The album debuted on the Billboard Top 10 — largely on the strength of digital sales.

The 15-song soundtrack features Stax Records veteran Mable John (”No Matter How She Done It”) along with legendary artists Memphis Slim (”Bertha May”) and Lil Green (”Why Don’t You Do Right?),” as well as actor Danny Glover performing “Goin’ Down Slow.” The film introduces actor/musician Gary Clark Jr., about whom Texas Music Magazine wrote, “Probably the most talented Texas guitarist since a certain SRV.” The soundtrack showcases his fiery fretwork on “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” “China Doll” and “Blue Light Boogie.”

Go to the “Honeydipper” listening party!

“The Heartbreak Kid” Official Soundtrack Released

October 17th, 2007 by Maverick in Actors, Box Office, Celebs, Comedy, Dvd, Soundtrack

 200px-heartbreak_kid_2007.jpg
The Heartbreak Kid is a comedy film released just this month. For those whou didn’t know, it is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name starring Charles Grodin. The film was directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly and stars Ben Stiller, Malin Åkerman, Michelle Monaghan, Jerry Stiller, and Carlos Mencia.

With the release of the movie, Plan R Soundtracks is also releasing the film’s Official Soundtrack. It includes 14 featured tracks. The film’s hilarious plot is propelled by its eclectic soundtrack, which showcases exclusive new music from The Flaming Lips and Buva, as well as tracks by David Bowie, Ozomatli, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, and World Party, among others.  On October 2, Plan R Soundtracks will release the film’s 14-track soundtrack on CD and digitally.

In ‘The Heartbreak Kid,’ single and indecisive Eddie (Ben Stiller) begins dating the incredibly sexy and seemingly fabulous Lila. Upon the urging of his father and best friend, Eddie proposes to her after only a week, fearing this may be his last chance at love, marriage, and happiness.

However, while on their honeymoon in sunny Mexico, Lila reveals her true beyond-awful nature and Eddie meets Miranda, the woman he realizes to be his actual soul mate. Eddie must keep his new, increasingly horrid wife at bay as he attempts to woo the girl of his dreams.

For a taste of the soundtrack, you can listen to three of the songs here. Or, check out their website at www.heartbreakkidmovie.com.
