What can i say?This is a really sweet movie first of all that you should all watch at least once.The soundtrack is truely wonderful,everything on it is truely brilliant....but the songs that Evan Dando does are,by far the best-just brilliant.Evan does a great job on Gram Parsons "How Much I,ve Lied".I could go on.....but i won,t,do yourself a favour and buy yourself this laid back gem....you,ve be told!

I can't comment on the movie, but the soundtrack has got some good stuff. Five tracks from "Thurston Moore" are all instrumentals, and nothing like his band "Sonic Youth". Three from "Evan Dando" are typical folky for him, and he covers his idol "Gram Parsons" on track 15. The rest is decent filler. In my opinion, the best song on here by far is "74-75" by "The Connells". That song is near alterna-pop perfection. I would find this used.

In my ever-so-humble opinion, the best stuff gets "gifted" to the universe and we get to stumble upon the magic ... Such is the case which can be made for this collection of songs created to accompany the movie "Heavy".
Now , warning, if you are the type of person that needs Amps:11 and bass-pulsing notice given to your head for stimulation, this batch of musical tea will set you to sleepin faster than a train-ride through a patch of Nebraska wild-field .. but if you ramble in a more subtle world where acoustic guitars and well-thought-through instrumental journeys tickle your ear-bone, then you couldn't get any luckier than this for a couple bucks.
(one exception is the Plimsouls, perhaps the "original" Replacements), But then we get Evan Lemonhead, the luckiest guitar-strumming folkie since Lefty Frizzel, a Freedy Johnston, a version of a Victoria Williams classic and those Thurston Moore soundscapes trapesing through the river. And my friend Tom would be baffled if I didn't mention it's probably the only place you can find Rosie Flores doing Butch Hancock's "BoxCars".
the best ones are "gifted" to the world.

not a fan of new age music (if you can call it that) by any stretch but the Thurston Moore music was inspiring. Very evocative. My tastes in music are quite broad, and i'm glad to add this to the songs i listen to. The movie is nothing short of masterfull! What a find.

I watched the film & Thurston's music didn't stick out too much, probably doing the job properly then. Evan Dando's an overrated git but he's okay [if you like his songs, check Smudge, Sneeze & Godstar records because Sydneysiders Tom Morgan & Nic Dalton wrote most of them from Shame About Ray onwards]. I get the feeling this review will be rejected by the advisory board but I care not.

Even if every other artist on this makes you wretch, buy it for the evan dando songs. if only he could this consistently, the world would be a better place.

Evan Dando is beautiful. His rendition of "Frying Pan" is worth the whole album. I give Evan and his guitar five stars. Wish I could say the same for the rest.

this is for the reviewer who so adamently praised the work of evan dando on this album and basically made the rest of the album sound like trash. if you were at all familiar with thurston moore's track record as a musician (or appreciated his work for that matter), you'd realize that he (thurston) has more talent in his left pinkie than evan dando has total. but this is a very opinionated review...and for that i apologize
