Richard Kelly La La Loves Pixies, Radiohead

Calum Marsh

I sure do love when popular music is used in a movie. Southland Tales, the new Palme D'or-nominated feature by Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko), is set to feature a reasonably solid soundtrack of popular indie tracks from the past twenty years. Kelly, in a move that might seem just a tad excessive, is currently writing six Southland Tales prequels (they're graphic novels, not films, but still), one of which just happens to be titled 'Wave Of Mutilation'. I'm still waiting for Donnie Darko II: Where Is Your Mind?.

Here's the soundtrack so far:

Radiohead - Planet Telex
Pixies - Wave Of Mutilation
Blur - Tender
Jane's Addiction - Three Days
The Killers - All These Things That I've Done

Hmm. One of those doesn't quite fit. Okay, let's settle on Donnie Darko III: Hot Fuss.

Download:
The Killers - All These Things That I've Done
Radiohead - Vanilla Idiot (Mash-Up)
Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

Buy:
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Radiohead - Kid A
Donnie Darko - DVD

I'm watching Donnie Darko IV: The Bends.

I think I'll go watch Donnie Darko right now, in fact.

"All These Things I've Done" doesn't fit? Best radio single of the last two years, I still say, and quite possibly one of the decade's very finest. Don't let all of the magazine covers and Gucci poses fool you: these guys are ace pop songwriters.

I must say that I found the presence of The Rock, Seann William Scott and *gulp* Justin Timerblake in the cast puzzling, to put it mildly. But I could still hardly be looking forward to a movie more.
