I recently heard the full soundtracks for two films that are currently out in theatres, I Love You, Man and Adventureland. Both albums are SO good and just real fun to listen to.
On I Love You, Man, there are 15 songs which has a really cool combined mixture of sounds from artists like Vampire Weekends, Santogold, the Black Keys and then there are some artists that have been around awhile, Beck, Cars and even Dean Martin singing one of his classics Ain’t that a Kick in the Head. Even the stars of the movie, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel have one song together, Limelight.
And now Adventureland is purely 80s! 14 classic 80s songs, some real popular hits and some not so but should have been. Right off the bat, your listening to Lou Reed’s Satellite of Love, and then you move on to David Bowie’s Modern Love, and then to Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus. Some of my favorites are at the very end; Unsatisfied by The Replacements and then Pale Blue Eyes by the Velvet Underground. And of course there are some true 80s classics, Outfield’s Your Love, INXS’s Don’t Change and of course one of the top bands of the 80s, The Cure’s Just like Heaven.
