The hype for that film was so real and mostly covered by the old music version of MTV. That it reads like a very long music video with dialogue, speaks volumes. Every song sits perfectly next to its friends on the tracklist, no skips, just the coolest nostalgia and great music. I consider it the greatest soundtrack of all time.

perfectly encapsulates the 90s – and not just the soundtrack, but also the aesthetics, the campiness, everything ❤️🔥

listening to a movie soundtrack on vinyl is so sick because all of the intentionality of putting a record on, playing it, flipping it, etc. in tandem with the intentional composition of a movie soundtrack for certain scenes and the arc of the film in general makes you feel like you're in a movie for the run of the record. my personal favorites:
- shaft (isaac hayes, 1971)
- superfly (curtis mayfield, 1972)
- the social network (trent reznor + atticus ross, 2010 – they also did the challengers soundtrack!)
bonus: if your life is a movie (fr) i think getting past the "poser" anxiety and just buying your favorite albums on vinyl and listening to them as the soundtrack for your life brings the same vibe. for me:
- time traveler + wagenmuzik (gum.mp3)
- room 25 + telefone (noname)
- ctrl (sza)
- starboy (the weeknd)
- the misseducation of lauryn hill (lauryn hill)
- what's goin' on (marvin gaye)
- channel orange (frank ocean)
...among others
bonus bonus: jazz. miles davis, duke ellington, stevie wonder, sun ra, pick your poison

i just watched this film last week and it was instantly a new comfort film for me. the grading, the set design, the story, the wardrobe and THE SCORE! it’s so beautiful and i’m so glad i found bryce dessners solo music thanks to the film. the soundtrack has been on repeat. listening to it feels like a warm hug and it makes me want to sit by the ocean and ponder

My deck is full of container gardens, and I’m doing everything in my power to ensure that the plants are successful. I would like my own tomatoes, thank you Mort Garson 🙏

No skips. Isaac Brock and the elusively perfect creature that is John Orth perform musical magic. “Smoke was pulled in ribbons from the car, lost along the shoulders of the highway.”
