The soundtrack to the quirky indie flick that is being hailed as the best movie of the year, "Juno," is an eclectic compilation of subtle complexity and rambunctious lyricism.
"Juno" is a 2007 comedy-drama directed by Jason Reitman and stars Ellen Page as Juno, the witty high-schooler who finds herself nine weeks pregnant by track star and friend Paulie Bleeker, played by Michael Cera. "Juno" features a character that is confronted with the difficult task of balancing life as a pregnant woman and as a 16-year-old girl.
Not since "Garden State" has a movie featured music that makes for the ideal indie/alternative playlist.
"Juno" features the odd yet captivating music of Kimya Dawson, whose band The Moldy Peaches also appears on the soundtrack.
Dawson's combination of words and themes may leave you scratching your head in wonder, but her music ultimately captures the essence of Juno's character-sarcastic, wordy and all over-the-place-in-a-good way.
"Juno" includes Sonic Youth's play on The Carpenter's "Superstar," a dreamy kaleidoscope of sounds, and Cat Power's beautiful, breathy rendition of The Honeydrippers' "Sea of Love."
The Moldy Peaches' "Anyone Else But You" is the theme song to the movie. The soundtrack includes Cera and Page's movie-cut version, complete with the sound of the track team's footsteps at the close of the movie.
"I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train/I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side/I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else/But you."
The soundtrack is the perfect companion to the film's charming original screenplay as it flows flawlessly, each song fitting perfectly into the movie's artistic play on life.

loved the movie Juno, and really enjoyed the music during it. Ordered the CD immediately afterwards - big mistake. CD is quite boring, without the movie to go with it! Probably just put a couple of songs onto my mp3 player, and never play the CD again!Free Music Review: juno
