Seu Jorge - The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions

Comments: aquatic

Cool! Well-spotted. The music played a big part in the flick's weird charm.

If I find a copy in Melbourne's CBD, I'll let you you where (It's too nice to burn pirate CD s thereof). But I suspect it's gonna be another Amazon job.

Forget to add that if you like Seu, you could well enjoy Nouvelle Vague as well.

They do the best bossa nova version of "Too Drunk To Fuck" I've heard in quite a while.

I was listening to the Amazon TLA_with_SZ soundtrack samples before I found that link, having watched the film 3 times. Yeah I really like Seu, and Nouvelle Vague is great too.
(I'm still waiting to buy a Joao Gilberto CD after about 3 years of thinking about it!)

Those musical links are a good idea, and are a big part of Andersons fillums. Mark Mothersbaugh (ex Devo) also does fantastic soundtracks for Rushmore and The Royal Tennenbaums.

I've been listening to Mothersbaugh track 16 (16 times)

"Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op"

Yes, that was so bloody cute when Bill started slyly grooving to it and then the jump cut to them paddling along to the beat underwater.

It really is a lovely little film isn't it? Like a home movie where you'd wish you could've have been in frame yourself. Even the one bit of gratitious dog cruelty is funny.

I counted two bits..?
(on the first viewing mind)

never funny but yeah forgiven.
So many funny lines - I was laughing the whole way through.

I would be quite happy to live in the Belafonte for the decor alone.
