Customer Rating:

Summary: the best ever
Comment: well it's a lovely movie, and great soundtrack. you will enjoy every bit and every sound. Kimya
makes it alive and the presence of Adam Green in the last track is just refreshing.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A real mixture for a top notch film!
Comment: The first song is the excellent upbeat folky "All I want is you" from Children's music
singer/songwriter Barry Lou Polisar which plays over the opening credits of the film. The last song
is a duet between Ellen Page and Michael Cera on "Anyone else by you" which is also featured earlier
on the album. In between are a decent variety of indie records and also a lesser known gem from rock
'n' roll genius Buddy Holly. A great selection of fairly mellow tunes that worked brilliantly for
the film soundtrack and are great to listen to in their own right.

Summary: ...indieville bliss...
Comment: For those who don't know, "Juno" is an award winning comedy featuring Juno (played by Ellen Page), a
teenage girl faced with an unplanned pregnancy from an afternoon with Bleeker (Michael Cera from TVs
"Arrested Development"). Juno finds her unborn baby the perfect set of parents in Mark and Vanessa
Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), an affluent suburban couple who are eager to adopt. The
film was an official selection at 2007's Telluride, Toronto, and London film festivals and received
the Best Film award at the Rome International Film Festival.

Which means we're talking
a total indie fest. The indie royalty are here with Belle & Sebastian alongside non-ironic covers
from Sonic Youth and Cat Power and a song from the Velvet Underground. For the dads in the audience
you get some Mott the Hoople and Kinks, with Buddy Holly in there for the stray gran who's wandered
in on pensioners half price day.

Then there's the left field corner, largely taken up
by Kimya Dawson, solo, with the Moldy Peaches and her new group Antsy Pants taking up 8 of the 19
tracks on offer. Heck, even the movie leads have a bash at a Moldy Peaches tune with Ellen Page and
Michael Cera crooning away on 'Anyone Else But You'. Obviously, without seeing the movie, it's hard
to tell how well the soundtrack works as an actual soundtrack, but as a compilation album, it
certainly fulfills the criteria of a Best of Indie selection, hands down.

This became
the fastest selling album on the iTunes music store, when it was released in America and makes the
perfect present for the slightly fey, ever so put upon, sociology student in your life.
