Music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas and her team over at Chop Shop must’ve been feeling very nostalgic for their college rock days in putting together the soundtrack for the forthcoming romantic drama non-“Twilight” Robert Pattinson vehicle “Remember Me.”
The tracklisting for the soundtrack has been revealed, and its a surprisingly solid slice of ’90s college radio. The disc kicks off with “Alien Lover” from Luscious Jackson’s 1999 album “Electric Honey,” mixes in The Promise Ring’s (God, when we was the last time we listened to them?) “Why Ever Did We Meet” from their landmark “Nothing Feels Good” album and swipes one of The Sea & Cake’s best songs, “Parasol,” from 1995’s “Nassau.” We’ve also got “You Can See Me” from Supergrass’ 1997 album “In It For The Money” and “Kandles” from the National Skyline’s debut 1996 EP “Metropolis.” Damn, we’re really feeling our age writing this.
Among the other artists featured on the disc’s strong lineup are Sigur Rós, Ani DiFranco and Sparklehorse whose Mark Linkous sadly took his own life this past weekend.
While we have pretty much no interest in the film, we’re glad that some Team Edward fans are going to be turned on to some decent music that’s probably well before their time. The soundtrack hits stores on Tuesday, March 9th and the film opens on a few days later on March 12th. Full tracklisting and sample tracks below.
