Juno
Last weekend my daughter and I watched the movie Juno. It stars Ellen Page as a sixteen year old girl who gets pregnant and gives the baby away for adoption. My daughter saw it as a comedy and I (as the father of a sixteen year old) saw it as a horror movie.
The movie was pretty good and I really liked Ellen Page. I noticed her awhile back in the movie Hard Candy, where she lures a child molester into her web. That was a seriously tough movie to watch.
The thing I walked away from Juno was the music. The soundtrack played The Kinks, A Well Respected Man, Buddy Holly's (Ummm, Oh Yeah) Dearest and a few tunes by Kimbra Dawson and The Moldy Peaches.
The songs on the soundtrack are simple and childlike and I really enjoyed them. Here is one by The Moldy Peaches, Anyone Else But You.
In the same vein I was listening to a folk music station, WKSU out of Kent, Ohio and I came across a band named The Weepies. Once again simple childlike tunes that are really good. Check out their song, Nobody Knows Me At All.
