Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Filed under: Music
So excited about Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which opens here on October 3rd. I adore Michael Cera. He plays Nick, who isn't gay, but plays in a queercore band. Norah is played by Kat Dennings, who was also in 40 Year Old Virgin. She and Nick are high school seniors and they end up running around Manattan, trying to get over their ex's and looking for a legendary band's secret show. Of course, Nick and Norah nurse the sexual tension throughout the whole adventure, which just happens to be accompanied by a great soundtrack. The line-up was just announced by Atlantic Records... check it out:
1. Chris Bell – “Speed Of Sound”
2. Devendra Banhart – “Lover”
3. Bishop Allen – “Middle Management”
4. Vampire Weekend - Ottoman”
5. The Dead 60s – “Riot Radio”
6. Takka Takka – “Fever”
7. The Submarines – “Xavia”
8. We Are Scientists – “After Hours”
9. Band Of Horses – “Our Swords”
10. Army Navy – “Silvery Sleds”
11. Richard Hawley – “Baby You're My Light”
12. Shout Out Louds – “Very Loud”
13. Paul Tiernan – “How To Say Goodbye”
