500 Days of Summer gets help from She & Him

text: matt carr

The Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt flick 500 Days of Summer has a pretty solid soundtrack out July 7th. I can’t say whether the movie will be any good, but it’s nice to see the Doves and Black Lips get some big screen love. Check out the Deschanel and M. Ward cover of the oft-used Smiths song “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” below.

Track list:
01 Mychael Danna And Rob Simonsen - “A Story Of Boy Meets Girl”
02 Regina Spektor - “Us”
03 The Smiths - “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out”
04 Black Lips - “Bad Kids”
05 The Smiths - “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want”
06 Doves - “There Goes The Fear”
07 Hall & Oates - “You Make My Dreams”
08 The Temper Trap - “Sweet Disposition”
09 Carla Bruni - “Quelqu’un M’a Dit”
10 Feist - “Mushaboom”
11 Regina Spektor - “Hero”
12 Simon & Garfunkel - “Bookends”

Love these photos and review. So, these DJ sets are at 7:30? I don’t really get it. And are these gonna continue once the Whitney moves? And most importantly, where can I attend an “hour-long clinic on shaking ass?”
