I think Wes is fey enough and can stand without B&S gheying him up more than he already is of late (as much as i like B&S, i think it would be like a chocolate on chocolate sundae – overkill).

All the Playlist soundtrack series discs are here. Admittedly, some links might be dead, but we are fixing the Wes Anderson's as we speak. 3 discs of music.

I’d like to see that. A band I can’t help but wonder why he hasn’t used them yet is Belle and Sebastian…they just scream Wes! Specifically songs like We Rule the School, Seeing Other People, Fox in the Snow, If You’re Feeling Sinister…well the list goes on and on. I thought maybe it’s cause they are modern, but he used Elliott Smith.

This reminds us, we need to put up a link to our If I Were Wes Anderson Playlist, which we still are admittedly pretty proud of, or at least happy with.

I’m sure Wes has loads and loads of songs he still wants to use in his films. This idea of getting the images to go perfectly to a piece of music, but to have to just sit on it and save it for the right film, must drive him nuts. I remember reading an interview with Owen Wilson where he said thats what him and Wes would do while in class at college. He said they had this whole scene put to the song Heroin by The Velvet Underground worked out, but never got to film it. I wish they would have because I love that song, and it needs to be immortalized in a movie (and The Doors doesn’t count).
