Music from Defying Gravity?

12 September 2009, 8:04 pm. Comments Off. Filed under Music.

We’ve been watch­ing Defy­ing Grav­ity on Hulu, and enjoy­ing it. The music is one of the appeal­ing fac­tors, but I can’t find any infor­ma­tion about what songs by which per­form­ers are used in most of the episodes. TV​.com has infor­ma­tion for two of them, but not the rest. I don’t sup­pose any of you know where to find more information?

Their text actu­ally says, “If you pay me enough, I’d sing these songs.” I wouldn’t have to be paid, though. I’ve never actu­ally been in a karaoke bar, but I love to sing, so there are plenty of songs that I would be will­ing to sing!

Juno!

Katie got the Juno DVD last week, so we all watched it together Fri­day night. She’s been gush­ing about it since see­ing it in the the­ater, and adores the sound­track, so we were cer­tainly curious.

It was an odd movie, fairly quiet – no car crashes, big tragedies, etc. It was really well-​​done, and I was pleased with how real­is­ti­cally it depicted a teen pregnancy.

I’m more than slightly annoyed with what feels like a lit­tle puri­tan­i­cal “gotcha,” with the girl get­ting preg­nant the first and only time she had sex. Yes, of course I know it can hap­pen, but it still feels a lit­tle like the hor­ror movies in which any female who has had sex dies.

The music was really, really cute, and very Katie-​​ish. She’s a quirky girl, my kid.

I was a lit­tle dis­tracted every time Jason Bate­man was on the screen, because he loooks so much like Nathan Fil­lion.1 I won­der if they’re related at all? If they are, IMDB doesn’t men­tion it.

1 I didn’t real­ize how young Fil­lion is, either – five years younger than I am!

I took my project man­age­ment final tonight, so I’m done with the semes­ter! Now I’m try­ing to down­load the text­book files for next semes­ter, but the ebook server is hav­ing Issues.

In the mean­time, I’m lis­ten­ing to some lovely new music, free and legal, over at The­Six­ty­One. I don’t know how Sam found out about the place, but it’s neat.
