More recurrent figures on this soundtrack. Most obviously, Jon Brion, who grows increasingly ubiquitous - I've known him through work with Aimee Mann (and on
Magnolia sdtk), also recently saw him pop up on a Marianne Faithfull record, and then recognised his style on
Punch-Drunk Love (aided by the P T Anderson connection). Also, the Polyphonic Spree pop up with a couple of tracks. Soundtrack as a whole is a nice listen but a little indistinct, no doubt in part owing to my not having seen the film; singing/humming "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" under my breath rather a lot.
