Soundtrack

I was just checking out some snip-its from the soundtrack of Eternal Sunshine online, and I think I'm going to have to get this for myself.

I was actually trying to find out who did that catchy tune for the trailer...You know what I'm talking about if you've ever seen the trailer, because that beat just sticks with you. It turns out it's Mr. Blue Sky by ELO.

I was surprised to find that Beck also features a song in the film. It's called "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime," and I instantly knew when I heard it that I remember hearing it before, but I can't remember what part of the movie it's in. Welp, guess I'll have to watch it again soon.

The soundtrack also features some psychadelic tunes by Polyphonic Spree, some free spirit by The Willowz, and there's some Don Nelson on their as well.

The special features on the DVD features the Polyphonic Spree music video for "Light and Day." I am still not sure what I think of it. The video takes clips from the film and replaces the mouths or entire faces of the characters with lips that are in sync with the song, and when it's not a person actually lip syncing, it's other objects in the background, such as house siding and oven doors. My first impression was the video was a bit creepy. Then again, I've talked to some who have thought the Eternal Sunshine film itself is creepy, so perhaps it's fitting?

Anyway, seeing as how you're all doing so well with leaving comments on my first two posts, I expect a quite a turnout for this one. If you have the soundtrack already, what do you think of it? And does the music video for "Light and Day" creep you out too?
