Alicia (34) and Jayme Isaacs (110) are the winners of Funny People soundtrack!
The songs are emotionally low but raises the tiny little hairs on the back of my legs, go figure. Why is this happening to me? Most likely it’s the rare John Lennon acoustic demo of “Watching the Wheels,” the 1981 single released after his death, is one of the highlights of the original motion picture soundtrack available July 28 and features two exclusive new live tracks: James Taylor’s on-camera performance of “Carolina in My Mind” in the film, and Wilco’s “Jesus, etc.,” featuring Andrew Bird on violin recorded during their Summer 2008 tour.
Yes, Funny People movie soundtrack is for silly heroes, the hero in all of us, who strive to achieve our dreams and live our lives with real love and compassion for our fellow Man.
The film’s theme of mortality runs through several of the selections, including a pair of tracks from Warren Zevon, “Keep Me In Your Heart” and “Numb as a Statue,” from his 2003 album The Wind, which came out just two weeks before his own death from cancer. Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels,” from his 1980 Grammy-winning Album of the Year, Double Fantasy with Yoko Ono, came out several months after his tragic murder.

CELLIST YO-YO MA IS FEATURED SOLOIST
ON ASHES OF TIME REDUX SCORE
Sony Classical Soundtrack available digitally Today!
After his acclaimed performances on the soundtracks of Memoirs of a Geisha and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, cellist Yo-Yo Ma is the featured soloist throughout the score for the Sony Pictures Classics film, Ashes of Time Redux directed by Wong Kar Wai. Hailed as “gloriously superb” by the Los Angeles Times, the epic martial arts film has been restored and is now available on DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The film’s soundtrack recording on Sony Classical is available online through all digital service providers on March 3, 2009.
Originally completed in 1994, Ashes of Time Reduxreceived a limited release and, in the years since, the existing prints and negatives had become damaged or destroyed. “To rectify this situation,” Wong Kar Wai states, “we decided to revisit this project and to create the definitive version.” He and his colleagues began the process by gathering as much existing material as could be found and restoring those elements, using advanced technology that had not existed in the early ‘90’s. He also collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma to create a new soundtrack, rearranging some of the original compositions by Freddie Chan and adding some original ones.
It has been a common trend to see soundtrack albums come out ahead of the actual film. And for the people who are eagerly awaiting the fourth installment for The Fast and The Furious films, the official soundtrack album for Fast and Furious movie will arrive in the physical and digital marketplace March 31.
The all-star soundtrack album features new music by Pitbull, Busta Rhymes, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Kenna, Rye Rye, Shark City Click, Tasha, and Robin Thicke, and productions by The Neptunes.
On March 24, the first eSingle release – “Blanco” by Pitbull, featuring Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes – arrives. The “Blanco” video will premiere the week of the album’s release.
In Fast & Furious, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reteam for this ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed. Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cards across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.
The final sequence for the Fast & Furious original motion picture soundtrack album is:
- “Bang” – Rye Rye
- “G-Stro” – Busta Rhymes (produced by The Neptunes)

Variety reports that Jared Bush’s music-themed drama project Soundtrack is being developed for NBC. The drama series will revolve around a misguided man, who just lost his job and whose ex-girlfriend got engaged to someone else, who finds his life suddenly starts being accompanied by music in his head.
Interestingly, he starts to hear the same iconic song over and over again and has to figure out its significance to make it go away… but then the next track comes along.
“I was trying to find a way to combine TV and music in an organic way,” Bush said. “What we come to realize in the show is this guy has been given an opportunity to start his life over, and this music will help him find a way to become truly happy.”
Here’s some more good news for those of us with hopes for the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s bleak novel The Road. In an interview with the LA Times, Nick Cave has spoken about his current project of scoring the movie.
Nick Cave (and his Bad Seeds) have been around for 25 years, writing music that pitches between paranoiac, frenzied delusions, and tragic, desperate ballads, with an occasional break (e.g. his new Grinderman group) to rock out. His lyrics are polished and literary. But he has also delved into soundtracks, including the beautiful laments of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Cave has also worked with The Road director, John Hillcoat, before, providing music for and scripting the nasty Oz Western The Proposition (which is currently being remade for Hollywood) and Ghosts… of the Civil Dead.
With Cave’s reliable tunes, and Hillcoat’s direction, which so far has displayed a habit of never relenting from the disturbing, not to mention the book having been penned by the man behind this year’s Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men, The Road is gearing up to be one of the highlights of the year.
Looking to break into the music industry? Besides working hard and making a name for yourself in the concert circuits, you can submit your best song to be featured in the upcoming Punisher: War Zone movie.
Radio station “105.9 The X” is giving unsigned artists the chance to be featured in the movie itself as well as appear on the soundtrack disc. The winner will also receive $5,000 and a possible recording contract. The winning band will be selected from a panel of judges from Lionsgate Entertainment and Shaun Morgan from rock band Seether.
War Zone, directed by Lexi Alexander, is set to punish theaters on December 5.

While I write away at my computer, I am listening to the CLONE WARS Soundtrack and it’s fantastic piece to have while I work. Very upbeat with similar tones of John Williams makes the whole experience worthwhile. I mean with titles like Seedy City Swing or Jabba’s Palace it’s an adventure.

Ever since the revival of soundtracks in the mid 90’s, the debate has become a tired one, always boiling down to the same few choices. It’s either a soundtrack that accumulates the latest and coolest tracks of the day, such as Trainspotting, or else one of Tarantino’s collections of disparate tunes that somehow manage to gain a new, hip meaning when he assembles them together. Scores rarely get a look in.
But that’s not to deny the importance of the soundtrack. Indeed, what would Scorsese’s film be without the barrage of rock n’ roll tracks. Or films like Gattaca, The End of the Affair, and The Piano would arguably be half as powerful if Michael Nyman’s compositions were removed. Yet there are strange occurrences in which the film’s makers, disappointing in their delivery, still manage to throw together the right songs and help slightly elevate the film’s lagging quality.
Below are five of the best examples I can find of film’s whose soundtracks suggest something far greater than the sub-par flicks themselves. Read the rest of this entry »
