There's a bun in my musical oven!

Juno the movie was gentle and moving, and the same can be said of Juno the soundtrack, which stands on its own as a nice folk-centric album for people who don't really like folk. Kimya Dawson, formerly of the Moldy Peaches (also featured on the soundtrack), contributes heavily but there are also some great oldies from the Kinks, Buddy Holly and Mott the Hoople. This is a nice kick in the sonic ass, breaking up an otherwise acoustic heavy soundtrack with some much needed rawk, but classic rawk so as not to loose any indie cred. I don't think I would have been interested in the soundtrack if I hadn't seen the movie first, as there's a lot of love spilling over from the film - certain songs remind me of certain scenes, especially the last track featuring both Ellen Page and Michael Cera. As the credits started to roll and we exited the theater, Lauren was on one side saying how great the songs were and Jeff was on the other saying how annoying, so see the film first and decide for yourself.
