Soundtrack to The Romantics

I just watched The Romantics with Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin and Malin Akerman. (Fun fact: Dianna Agron AKA Quinn from Glee was in it.) I enjoyed a lot about it, but it failed the “I can’t believe my husband is missing this” test, so it’s probably a chick flick. Possibly the best part of the movie was the style- the setting, the gorgeous subdued New England beach house, the gorgeous muted clothing and swept-up hairdos, and especially the gorgeous music. The songs in the movie break your heart, and then soothe you just so they can break your heart again. There doesn’t appear to be an official soundtrack available for sale, and let’s face it, even if there were, it would leave out some of the best songs from the movie and add in some that aren’t even in the movie. Why the hell do they do that, anyway? So just for you, loyal popfilterinos, I created a streaming soundtrack with as many of the songs as I could find online. Now you don’t have to watch the movie unless you’re a girl who wants to want to go shopping for some classic pieces for her wardrobe. You’re welcome. -KA

P.S. I really liked the sparse semi-military drums during the wedding processional. Super greatly weird choice. Doesn’t seem to be part of any of these songs, but I had to mention it.

Brutal Hearts – Bedouin Soundclash

Preparedness – The Bird and The Bee

Funbags- Rod Thomas

Girls Aren’t Supposed To – Lorene Scafaria

Giggle Stick – Andrew Willingale

Gentle Floss – Rod Thomas

Couldn’t find this one, sorry guys. This guy (not to be confused with Rob Thomas) seems very talented, though, so maybe you should check out his other songs. His website promises free tracks if you sign up for their mailing list, but I’m not a joiner.

We Can’t Be Friends – Lorene Scafaria

Betray- Son Lux

Ready Steady Flow – Andrew Willingale

Also couldn’t find this one, guys. Sorry. This guy doesn’t seem to have an official website or anything. I found someone by this name on FB but he lists himself as a “massively unsuccessful wanker” and only has about 300 friends. Maybe it’s the same dude, ’cause that would be awesome.

This Will Be Our Year – The Zombies
