High Fidelity [SOUNDTRACK]
Various Artists - Soundtracks - 2000

Nick Hornby's novel about a middle-aged, obsessive
record-store owner and his struggle with growing up in an
adult world indifferent to the finer points of soul music was
a sharp commentary on life, love, and a decades-long affair
with popular music. If any movie has to have a decent
soundtrack it's this one. And it does. Perhaps a little light
on soul (Stevie Wonder is a hip pick, but how about Arthur
Alexander or even Otis Redding?), it specializes in cult and
indie bands that should be familiar to many. The Velvet
Underground, Love, the 13th Floor Elevators, and the Kinks
honor the old school, while Royal Trux, Stereolab, and Smog
represent the newest wave. Elvis Costello appears with a
strong pick from an odd era (early '80s), and his greatest
imitator, John Wesley Harding, is featured as well. This
probably should have been a box set--you end up wanting
more. Cd Tracks: 1. You're Gonna Miss Me - 13th Floor Elevators 2. Everybody's Gonna Be Happy - The Kinks 3. I'm Wrong About Everything - John Wesley Harding 4. Oh!
