I really haven't been drawn to a lot of movies released this year. I've seen most of them at the 2nd run theater for $2 a pop. Unfortunately, if a film didn't show there I probably missed it.
Consequently I haven't heard many film soundtracks, not even the much ballyhooed "Where the Wild Things Are" soundtrack.
But, for some reason, I was drawn to the soundtrack of the movie Whip It. Okay, the reason was that women's roller derby is a guilty pleasure (Go Tough Cookies!). It contains many songs that I am familiar with: "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" by the Ramones, "Jolene" by Dolly Parton, I even enjoy .38 Special's "Caught Up in You". But the soundtrack also features artists I am not familiar with, that I now love, like "Pot Kettle Black" by Tilly and the Wall, and "What's the Attitude" by Cut Chemist. The only two songs that really don't click with me are "Hightimes" by Landon Pigg and a remix of the Chordettes song "Lollipop", I hate 99% of remixes and I've never liked the song "Lollipop".
But these songs have little affect on my enjoyment with this soundtrack and I look forward to the DVD release of this movie.
