I’m not sure that I intend to listen to a lot of soundtracks as part of this project (although I’m planning to try out at least a couple of scores, simply because I’ve never actually sat down and listened to one outside of a movie), but I absolutely had to listen to the High Fidelity soundtrack. I LOVE this movie, and this scene in particular was a big part of coming up with this idea:

As far as soundtracks go, it’s probably hard to pick a bad one if John Cusack was in the movie. I really love this soundtrack, and not only because of its association with the movie. It was a good way to plan out some more albums to listen to as well. Stevie Wonder, The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello — all on the list now. Not that they wouldn’t have made it without having listened to this, but while I was listening I was definitely adding notes to myself to make sure I come back to all of them at least once. Plus, where else are you gonna get a pretty solid cover of Let’s Get it On by Jack Black?
