*** Official SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD Discussion Thread

I have to wonder if anyone else was in love with the soundtrack like I was?  I saw this in a preview performance a few weeks ago and was chomping at the bit to get the  red cover soundtrack (with the rock music from the film...the blue cover is the soundtrack score and incidental music, it seems).   I am deeply in love with the garage rock sound and to have a) a movie built around it and b) have a bunch of it done by Beck was just too cool.  The Sex Bob-omb stuff in particular was fantastic and I have burnt through it for the last few days.   I like the older song by T-Rex, too.  There was a lot of stuff new to me, too...Plumtree, Metric and a couple others I will want to know more about.  Classic acts like the Stones and Frank Black round out the score.  The 8-bit version of "Threshold" is now my awesome ringtone. 

The movie is a love story first and foremost but the side-story of a wannabe rock band really rang true for me.  I never was in a band to my great sadness but back when I was young I sat in on rehearsals of friends who had bands and that feel of the grimy house or apartment stuffed with musical gear just felt right to me.

Anyway, check it out.

This is pretty awesome:
