I know this keeps getting repeated, but the music in Donnie Darko is absolutely awesome...couldn't agree more. TV shows allowed? I don't know if there are any Sopranos lovers in here but whenever I hear Woke Up This Morning by the Alabama 3 at the beginning of the show it gets me pumped to watch. And, one of my personal favorites, Jump Around by House of Pain in Happy Gilmore.

so many great tunes from so many different movies recently: caetano veloso's 'cucurrucucu paloma' used in almodovar's talk to her. perfectly placed as a segway between memories of lost love and starting of a new love.
same song was used in wong kar wai's happy together where a helicopter shot of the Igazu falls in Argentina goes on forever. a lot of different meanings arise from that shot and song.
Nick Drake in Garden State (and Iron and Wine's version of Such Great Heights)
Recently the soundtrack to Atonement caught my ears....I love the tapping of the typewriter as the main theme of the whole soundtrack...also best film of 2007!!

Lost in Translation was on HBO earlier this week and I watched it again. Great movie, but I have a question about a song. At the end after "Just Like Honey" plays over the closing credits, another song comes on afterwards. It sounds a lot like MBV. It's not "Sometimes" which is listed on the soundtrack. Its not a song from either Loveless or Isn't Anything, and it may not even be MBV. I don't think its on the official soundtrack either. So does anyone know it?
It's a Kevin Shields original song. There's a "music video" for it on the DVD, though it's pretty much just a montage of scenes from the movie. I don't know where it's available, though. I'd assume it's on the the film's soundtrack.

Yep, you're right. I thought I'd read all the Kevin Shields songs were just ambiet, background types, which the other ones on the soundtrack are. But the song is "City Girl" and it is on the soundtrack. Its a good tune and sounds a lot like old MBV. Thanks for your help.
