A popular auction site (incorrectly) lists this soundtrack as having 30 tracks. Perhaps this soundtrack was originally intended to be a two-disc set, and it was (criminally) cut to a single disc by simply dropping the second disc! I'd love to have the full sountrack, but it doesn't seem to exist. Here's the full track list:

1. Wave Of Mutilation - Pixies (UK Surf Version)
2. Oh My Angel - Bertha Tillman
3. Howl - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Extended Version)
4. Look Back In - Moby
5. Me & Bobby McGee - Waylon Jennings
6. Chord Sounds - Moby
7. Lucky Me - Roger Webb
8. 3 Steps - Moby
9. Broken Hearted Savior - Big Head Todd & The Monsters
10. Teen Horniness Is Not a Crime - Abbey McBride/ClarKent/Sarah Michelle Gellar
11. Tiny Elephants - Moby
12. Forget Myself - Elbow
13. Star Spangled Banner, The - Rebekah Del Rio & The Section Quartet
14. Three Days - Jane's Addiction (Live Version)
15. Memory Gospel - Moby
16. If I Could Be With You - Louis Armstrong
17. Planet Telex - Radiohead
18. Tender - Blur
19. Blackout - Muse
20. Broken Hearted Savior - Big Head Todd & The Monsters
21. Three Days - Jane's Addiction
22. All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
23. Real Thing, The - The Shakers
24. Oh My Angel - Bertha Tillman
25. Wave Of Mutilation - The Pixies
26. Alendilch Strahit Der - Richard Wagner
27. Lucky Me - Roger Webb
28. Star Spangled Banner, The - Rebekah Del Rio
29. Symphony No 9 - Ludwig Von Beethoven
30. Forget Myself - Elbow

Where's "All These Things That I've Done"? And "Tender"?

I give it three stars for the amazing "Star-Spangled Banner," but missing the closing credits song and the ONE SONG that featured prominantly in the series (movie and graphic novel)? WTF?

I have to say that I originally got this album just for the song "Teen Horniness Is Not A Crime" and believe me that's worth it in itself. I was surprised to find that the rest of the music is pretty good too. Actually I wasn't that surprised, it's a fantastic movie and should have a fantastic soundtrack too.

I appreciate your comments on the soundtrack's shortcomings but I suggest the dance segment with Memory Gospel in the movie was one of the most erotic sequences ever filmed (at least legally).

This is an almost-perfect soundtrack that effectively captures all of the ups and downs of the movie Southland Tales. Songs from many different decades appears on this sountrack and original music by Moby is amazing. The soundtrack is missing a few songs from the movie, most noteably "All These Things That I've Done" by the 'The Killers' so I cannot give it 5 stars. Overall, it is still a diverse and fun listen.

I must say, after watching the trailer for Southland Tales, then the film itself, Moby's original score is one of his best works ever. There are several tracks by other artists included, featuring Jane's Addiction, and the superior "surf" version of The Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" that add to the fatalistic tone of the film. Two of the Moby tracks are from his Hotel.Ambient disc while the other 4 are orignals, and are my favorite of the entire soundtrack. Definite mood music.
