Juno, the music


Juno: All song preview on Amazon or limited songs on myspace. If you haven't seen this movie by now then you are part caveman and part ice dancer. Seriously, see the movie because it's very good. If you've seen the movie you've realized how good the soundtrack is. In fact I would put it up in my top twenty soundtracks since I was born (1980, nothing counts before that). The songs are incredibly eclectic, very different, mostly unknown, and with a random Buddy Holly song thrown in. The feature song that opens the movie "All I want is You" sets the pace for the movie and Kimya Dawson (formerly of Moldy Peaches) rounds out most of the movie with her eclectic music style which cannot be classified. "Anyone Else But You" is probably the most popular on the album because Michael Cera and Ellen Page do a rendition of it at the end of the movie. Great way to end a movie like this.

The album is ruled by unknown names but they do feature a couple of bigger names: Buddy Holly, Belle & Sebastian, Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, Cat Power and The Kinks.

Definitely worth checking out the amazon preview of this album and worth purchasing a few singles off the album, especially "All I want is You" and "Anyone Else But You" and the Kimya Dawson songs.
