There was going to be a “Marley And Me” soundtrack disc and now there’s not. However, there will be a score disc based on the music composed by Teddy Shaprio (“Blades of Glory”) and it comes out 12/16 via Lakeshore records.
However, we have learned that “Marley And Me” the “heartwarming comedy” that stars some bronzer, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and a cute puppy (we’re pretty sure that was the studio pitch) does have some pop tunes in it including Bruce Lash’s breezy, cocktail cover of Nirvana’s “Lithium,” plus track by R.E.M. (“Shiny Happy People”) Bob Marley (“One Love”), Ben Folds (“Rockin’ the Suburbs” ), Hootie & the Blowfish (“”Only Wanna Be With You”), US3 and Herbie Hancock (“Cantaloop”), Dennis Wilson (“River Song”) and The Verve (“Lucky Man”). Wow, sounds like your college CD collection. All its missing is Stone Temple Pilot, Blind Melon and the Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head.
Who’s going to see this movie? Your girlfriend will drag you on Christmas day probably, but not us, however we wholeheartedly endorse listening to Dennis Wilson (RIP, brudda) at all times {*Lash’s song originally came out on his 2004 album, Prozak For Lovers].
