Richard Linklater cares about the music in his films, with "School Of Rock," "Boyhood," and "Dazed and Confused" in particular showing a strong commitment to a carefully curated soundtrack. But what you might not know is how much of a stickler the director is for ensuring the song choices are not anachronistic — for his movies, or anybody else’s.
Well, the director is never short of music he can use, and that’s certainly true for his "Everybody Wants Some!!" Now playing in limited release, and expanding next weekend, the movie boasts many, many more songs that the official, double LP soundtrack.
