Do people still purchase movie soundtracks? The latest soundtrack that I can think of with any widespread appeal was Titanic and before that The Bodyguard. I was quite the fan of the Magnolia soundtrack with all Aimee Mann, but I don't think that caught on quite like "My Heart Will Go On." I'm feeling a little karaoke coming on...
If your life was a movie, what would be the soundtrack?

Now I'm not much for these types of internet surveys, but a couple of my friends did it and I was intrigued. A couple confessions. 1) The first song that came up was one that I was far too embarrassed to put on here. So yes, I lied a little bit but keeping that part of my dignity means more to me than "pretending to be cool." 2) A couple Korean songs came up and I just didn't think that would be appropriate for my English-speaking/writing/reading audience.
I'm quite pleased. Breaking Up, Mental Breakdown, and Getting Back Together are nice serendipitous touches. Death Scene? Not so much.

Nice! I am intrigued too. Look for the results on my blog soon...this is a perfect I can't sleep tonight activity.
As for movie soundtracks, I love the ONCE soundtrack. Have you seen Once? It's about love, Ireland, music, and struggling. And it's beautiful. And so is the music.
Mooch, John and I buy soundtracks all the time. My most recent favorite is from "everything is illuminated". But that was over a year ago? I think if I tried the soundtrack game, I'd be confused, b/c 75% of the music on our iTunes is John's, and I might not recognize the artist. :)
Missing you...
I looove soundtracks. I get tired of one artist's album, but soundtracks give you diversity and introduces you to artists you wouldn't have listened to otherwise. I'm currently listening to "The Last Kiss" a lot but basically anything mellow and study-conducive are winners for me.
Your line-up made me laugh. Ever heard of Celebrity Death Match? Makes perfect sense to me.
hallo. i miss you pole.
