Listen to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
I'm on the fence about this movie. I love Michael Cera and I love movies about bands. And he plays a bass player. But watch this trailer:
It looks twee-er than Juno (the trailer uses the same freaking font, even). But I did like "Juno," and that cab thing looks really funny. And I like movies set where I hang out. But, though, I'm worried that the film is just going to be used for hipster self-validation for months after it comes out. (It's more than possible that I am a hipster.)
Anyway, the news is really that the soundtrack listing came out:
“NICK & NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST:

2. Devendra Banhart – “Lover”
3. Bishop Allen – “Middle Management”
4. Vampire Weekend - Ottoman”
5. The Dead 60s – “Riot Radio”

14. The Real Tuesday Weld – “Last Words”
15. Mark Mothersbaugh – “Nick & Norah’s Theme”
Looks like some good stuff on there, and it will be interesting to hear what Mothersbaugh does on a non-Wes Anderson project. But ... you know what? I'm too old to care about the "Garden State" effect. It's official. I'm a grown-up, not a damn hipster. I hope.

I don't know, the trailer doesn't do much to win me over, but I love Cera and the soundtrack is pretty solid. I'll probably check it out.
