'Juno' Gets a Second Disc of B-Sides
Filed under: Comedy, Music & Musicals, New Releases
After seeing Juno, the first thing my friend and I did was speedwalk back to my neighborhood so that I could scour my local open-late music store for the soundtrack. (Even after Diablo made me feel really frakking old by referring to "Superstar" as dated.) It was the first time in eons that I really wanted a soundtrack (I used to be addicted to them), and annoyingly, it wasn't out yet. After a bit, the disc was finally released, and now, quickly on the heels of soundtrack #1, Ace Showbiz reports that we're about get more great Juno tunes in Juno: B-Sides Almost Adopted. Sure, there might not be a technical B-side, but it still works. In the liner notes, Reitman wrote: "None of these songs made the movie, but they are all essential members of the Junoverse." There's more Kimya Dawson, some Yo La Tengo and Buddy Holly, and even a new Diablo Cody-penned tune. The song is called "Zub Zub," and was performed by Page in a cut scene, one that I imagine will pop up in the DVD. Just as a teaser, it contains the lyrics: "He filled me with baby batter/then we ate some orange tic tacs after." Oh, how I love catchy tunes with strange lyrics.
The collection will be available on iTunes next week, April 8, but so far, there are no plans for a disc.

is anyone else completely and utterly tired of all things Juno? this films was "okay" but has really evolved into a mildly disgusting fetish item for wannabe hipsters. don't you think the character juno would be totally over all this hype?? or is she too quirky like the idiotically named stripper that wrote the twee-festival?

Is anyone else sick of it? Yes. Quite a few people. Partly because the movie was barely mediocre yet overblown into the Greatest Cultural Moment of Ever. And partly because "Juno" is quickly entering "Napoleon Dynamite" cultural saturation territory.

Why do they talk about the best band in the world, the Melvins, several times in the movie, but the Melvins aren't included in the soundtrack?

The Juno soundtrack was one of the best discs I listened to last year, so I'm pretty much stoked for this.
