Another music post here. Sorry about that. I’ve been blogging way more about music than I have about writing, which isn’t by design. It’s just that music is moving me more lately. Again, sorry.
Anyway, my wife and I went to see the Scott Pilgrim movie on Saturday for our anniversary. We loved it. In fact, I smiled nearly the entire time we were there.
I read Scott Pilgrim book 1 first but took a chance and gave it to my wife to read while I read book 2. I wasn’t sure whether she would like it or not, since she’s not a total nerd like me. But she loved it and was as keen as I to finish up the remaining books in anticipation of the film. We weren’t disappointed.
As good as the movie was, the soundtrack is possibly even better. I thought I’d share a few of those tracks with you now. This music is a bit different than the stuff I usually post here, but just as good.
Note that “Sex Bob-Omb” is the fictional band Scott Pilgrim plays in. They’re supposed to be high-energy but low-skill, but sound like something that would sound awesome to somebody in their 20s. I think Beck captured this feel pretty well. Metric is a real band. They are awesome.
Metric – Black Sheep
Sex Bob-Omb (Beck) – We Are Sex Bob-Omb
Sex Bob-Omb (Beck) – Garbage Truck
Whatever inspires is good. Writing and music often go well together.
True, although I can’t listen to music while I write. I am weird.
I agree with Damyanti…I find music often inspires my writing.
Love the Garbage Truck track…very garage punk!
Glad you liked it. Garage punk for sure!
Awesome movie, almost certainly going to be an awesome soundtrack. Thanks for sharing these.
I love this post in like 3 different ways. Some of which might be illegal.
… don’t ask.
Awesome books. Awesome movie. Even more awesome soundtrack!
I loved the books and movie too Jenn. See, now you have me curious though about your illegal love of this post.
I am attracted to the word “epic.” Whenever I see it I have to see what is being described as epic. Epic epicness just blows my mind away.
I didn’t know they were a book(s). I will definitely be checking that out. Loved the movie and can’t even imagine how that could have come from a book. It is just so visual and fast.
You have to read the books Mike. I’d loan you mine if you lived closer. Best graphic novels I’ve read in a while.
