Scott Pilgrim, or ‘I just couldn’t stand it any longer’

By on August 20, 2010

Me and the boy were lucky enough to go to the European premiere of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World on Wednesday. My 140 character review, posted just an hour after the film ended, was as you can see to the right.

It’s now Friday, and I’m tearing my hair out to get hold of a preview of the aforementioned soundtrack. The music bloggers are having a fit, I’m already changing my *laminated* ‘top five albums of all time’ list and Spinner seems to be rickrolling people by directing them to Brian Wilson’s new LP.

I liked the film, it was fun, but you all know where my heart lies. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a soundtrack since Empire Records, which was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, and I was too young to understand what they were singing about anyway. Though it did introduce me to one of my favourite songs, which I listen to religiously every morning at 10am. But I digress.

I’ve managed to cobble together the ENTIRE playlist by linking to Hype Machine and Youtube. It’s not perfect, but if you sign up for a profile and ‘like’ the tracks on Hype, that’s the best you’ll get till August 23rd.

Enjoy.

    Is there way to have these in *one* playlist?

    So I can (rather lazily) just hit one button and have all the tracks play for me?

    @James No there isn’t. You could probably find a torrent to download (Matt posted one on my Facebook link), but I’d rather stream it and then buy it once released.

    Now, this is interesting. I’m not all that arsed about the film (I’m late to geekery, so I never really did the whole ‘comic’ thing) but the soundtrack looks INSANE.

    So now I have to watch the film too.

    […] As usual however, I gave the soundtrack most of my attention. […]
