Thanks to my good friend Alex Vo for providing me with the press notes that I forgot to grab while I was rushing from the Juno junket to the Religulous event. Some of Dawson's songs are available on her website,. Except record some instrumental versions of a couple songs that only have two chords. I didn't do anything specifically FOR the movie. I wrote a bunch of crap when my heart was hurting. And when people were coming up to me telling me I did a great job it felt weird because I didn't do a job. Singer/Songwriter Kimya Dawson writes the following on her live journal: "Some of those songs were recorded in my bed in Bedford Hills, under the covers, on the 4-track. She's just an interesting personality and such an amazing person, that you couldn't help but put her stamp on things." I think that Ellen Page as a person informed a lot about the movie. Screenwriter Diablo Cody added: " I love the music. I got in touch with Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches and she started sending me her work, which was beautiful, and that became a lot of the soundtrack." Diablo and I discussed putting a Moldy Peaches song in it where the characters would sing to each other. She went on my computer, played the songs, and I fell in love with it. "At one point, I asked Ellen Page before we started shooting, 'what do you think Juno listens to?' And she said 'The Moldy Peaches'. I spoke to director Jason Reitman this weekend and he said that Ellen Page had a lot to do with the sound of the film. So what songs are on the Juno soundtrack? Here is a complete listing so that you can build your own playlist in anticipation of the film's theatrical release in December. I know when I get home I'm going to hit up iTunes and my local CD store to collect the soundtrack on my own, because I can't wait for Fox Searchlight to release it. I'm not sure is Wes Anderson's soundtracks are a good comparison, Garden State might be a better example. Yes, the music tends to skew to a younger audience, so if you're over 40 this might not be your thing. It's kind of like a Wes Anderson film in the way that it will expose you to a whole new compilation of music (and more specifically Kimya Dawson's indie folk punk tunes). Not only is Juno one of the best movies of the year, but it also has one of the best movie soundtracks of the last five years.
