Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack
The soundtrack to the film, written and performed by director Spike Jonze’s ex-girlfriend and Karen O, the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, is hard to categorize. It's not an album of individual songs that are sprinkled around the movie, nor is it a score that complements the movie with atmospheric melodies. It's almost like listening to a full fledged Yeah Yeah Yeah’s album. It was like hearing remnants of the track, “Gold Lions”, from their second album, “Show Your Bones.” It's fairly soft and doesn’t kick you in the face like many of their tracks.
Coming out of a newly released album, The Mars Volta starts breaking in their new songs and gives everyone a bang for their buck. The first song was “A Fistful of Dollars.” Appreciation for Clint Eastwood? Maybe. Making you feel like you’re going to war is a little more appropriate, and who better to lead the war with his stage presence but Cedric Bixler Zavala?
Located at 61 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bowl is the area’s hottest new music venue and bowling alley. It is the creation of Peter Shapiro, former owner of the concert venue Wetlands, and the Bromberg Brothers, who supply the food through Blue Ribbon. The space it occupies is a converted warehouse, and the atmosphere is urban, but casual. Dim lighting, dark wood and leather couches make it comfortable and inviting. Acts of all kinds take the stage while onlookers enjoy delicious food, drinks and bowling
