(special music from recent movies episode!) First up Britain's
Holly Golightly paired up with Cincinnati's
The Greenhornes for the song "There Is an End" from the soundtrack to the
Jim Jarmusch movie
Broken Flowers (
iTunes,
Amazon). Next
Nellie McKay's new album may have been temporarily canned, but we get our fix with the song "Black Sheep" from the iTunes-only soundtrack EP thing for
Rumor Has It... (
iTunes) which has six unreleased songs (which are also not on her still forthcoming album
Pretty Little Head). Then we heard the classic
New Order song "Age of Consent" because it was used somewhat awkwardly, but at best, unexpectedly in the trailer for the new
Sofia Copala film staring
Kirsten Dunst Marie Antoinette, the song can be found on their album named for the
Republican Party Power, Corruption and Lies (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then
Stevie Wonder's
Syreeta did "Harmour Love" as heard prominently in the recent film
Junebug (who's original songs were composed
Yo La Tengo, but despite this, a soundtrack has not been released) so in the meantime you can get this song on her
Essential (
Amazon) record or by plunking down some
serious cash at iTunes. Next, Scottish folks singer
Bert Jansch did "Courting Blues" from the soundtrack (which is better than the film) set in my neighborhood,
The Squid and the Whale (
iTunes,
Amazon), directed by
Noah Baumbach. And we finished up this episode with a great song by cowboy poet, historian, and musician
Don Edwards who has been making music since the mid-60s and is
still putting out records. We heard "Coyotes" which can be found either on his album
Going Back to Texas (
iTunes,
Amazon) or on, the soundtrack to the movie
Grizzly Man (
iTunes,
Amazon) which is bad other than this song.
