The soundtrack to this summer’s movie 500 Days of Summer has a lot of great songs.
We’re starting off the soundtrack’s highlights with “You Make My Dreams” by Hall and Oates. The song plays during Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s dance sequence.
I saw a recent video of Hall and Oates playing “You Make My Dreams Come True” at the Troubadour in LA — definitely not as good as the album version.
The Young Veins — Ryan Ross and Jon Walker — have a new song called “The Other Girl.”
iTunes has a great new celebrity playlist by Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page.
Promoting their movie Whip It, Barrymore and Page have compiled a list of their favorite songs. They made a 30 minute podcast describing and playing clips of the songs.
Although they share a wealth of wonderful music, the best songs from their sonic suggestions are:
“1901” by Phoenix:
“Suffer for Fashion” by Of Montreal:
“Walking on a Dream” by Empire of the Sun:
“The Step and the Walk” by The Duke Spirit:
Today, Eisley’s new EP is out on iTunes. Called Fire Kite, the EP has 4 songs: “Ambulance,” “The Valley,” “Away We Go,” and “192 Days.”
The best, most catchy song is “The Valley.” To download it on iTunes, click the iTunes link (up and to your right).
To download “Away We Go” (at correct speed) for free, head to Eisley’s website.
Here is a cover of the Arctic Monkeys’ song “Fluorescent Adolescent” by Kate Nash.
The original is better, but Nash’s version, recorded in 2007, is still interesting. Do you like the female vocals on “Fluorescent Adolescent”?
