A Cry for Help

Imagine you have a new friend who's really cool. He makes you a CD with a bunch of songs, old and new, that you've probably never heard. One listen through and you know it could be a soundtrack to your autumn.

Well, meet your new friend Zach Braff. He made you a sweet mix tape, and calling it a soundtrack to something would be 100% correct. I just picked up the Garden State soundtrack, with music from The Shins, Frou Frou, Coldplay, Nick Drake, and a neat cover of the Postal Service. Definitely worth a listen next time your looking for some new music. And see the movie! (I plan on writing about that later. Don't count on it, though)

(And really, how much longer can the term "mix tape" survive? I don't imagine anyone under the age of, say 18, would use the phrase. But then, we still roll down our automatic windows, don't we…)
