juno? yes

Another soundtrack has what it takes to make it on my review. Not only is Juno a delightfully refreshing flick, but songs in the soundtrack fit perfectly with the movie. They are quiet, folksy, slightly eccentric, and capture the emotional aura of the film's story, characters, and message. This little gem of a movie is balanced by a very well chosen score weaving in and out of folk-indie pop and manages to pull off a sophisticated and engaging sound that reflects a childlike sense of wonder. A number of songs are contributed by Kimya Dawson, formerly of The Moldy Peaches, which contain her simple, open-eyed whimsy sounds. Also, an amazing cover of The Carpenters Superstar by Sonic Youth. Enjoy Juno and let go of the stress. Check out some songs on meg's music treats.

Pink Floyd was making music and playing sold out shows long before I was around, but I stumbled upon them at a early age of ten or eleven. I was immediately drawn to their unique sound. Like most, I started out with the basics; The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, but then progressed to lesser known works like Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Obscured by Clouds, and Meddle. My absolute favorite album is The Division Bell. Pink Floyd are known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group has sold over 200 million albums worldwide including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone. One of their most successful albums, Dark Side of the Moon, spent over 14 years at the top of the album charts. The depth and intellect of Pink Floyd has certainly made them an all time favorite of mine.
