I was so surprised with this soundtrack. It is full of great music that is not so commonly heard. I loved the movie and the songs fit each era perfectly. Favorite would have to be Whole Wide World and The Normal

For anyone born in the mid-1960s this movie and this soundtrack are like a replay of your life. Glam rock on television that you were too young to understand. Sitting at and watching the Sonny and Cher show with your parents. Bad psychedelia which is like childhood revisted. The pleasurable slide into punk and reggae. Endless plays of "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal to figure what it was about. Listening to the only band that matters, The Clash, at high volume. Those were the days of Adam Ant and Depeche Mode. Drugs followed. The music was a background hum to our post college amnesia. Maybe you even read a few books in the meantime? Then now your favorite band is Super Furry Animals. I guess that is more about me than you. You probably liked Michael Jackson and voted for George Bush.

This album evokes the time and so does the movie. Mostly the time around 1977-1984. They even threw some weird songs like "White Horses" by Lucy Street which opens up the great film about two close female friends over decades. Apparently this is what Ian Broudie has been up to lately. "I Got You Babe" is here mainly because it's a song about interdependence, and in this case an unhealthy one. A few Clash songs thrown in just remind us that punk was important at some point. Bands like Depeche Mode, The Stranglers, and Echo and The Bunnymen remind us that the 1980s was not all drugs but some good music occasionally. Some sensitive music by Tim Buckley and Nick Drake is thrown in. Girls love it.

"January February" by Barbara Dickson sounds like some bad television sitcom music and must be for pavlovian reasons. Some music is on this soundtrack is horrible and sentimental. Now we know where Celine Dion has been. The disc gets back on course with tracks by The Normal and Wreckless Eric. The one single by The Normal and the previous song "The Cutter" by The Bunnymen are like bookends and evokes those years better than any songs. "White Riot" is used in a scene when the girls, now known as "Harina," to jump up and down on a bed. Girls do this. They take baths together too. Anna Friel and Michelle Williams are great actors. Adam and The Ants and The Only Ones are here because there was some shoddy music in the 1980s too, and hence the drugs. The soundtrack ends with a present day song by Super Furry Animals. This is a reminder that me, and the director, and the people this movie was based on, and maybe you too, are all older and nearing 40. It's a wake up call. Life is a blink really. Enjoy.
