So there's this new movie coming out, The Nanny Diaries. It's a chick flick to the max; according to a press release, the movie stars indie rock star Scarlett Johansson as "Annie Braddock, a would-be anthropologist from New Jersey forced to survive - as a nanny - among the treacherous tribes of New York City's Upper East Side." (Oh noes!) And apparently the Hold Steady's "Stuck Between Stations" is on the soundtrack.

Due August 21 on Artists' Addiction Records, The Nanny Diaries Original Motion Picture Soundtrack also includes such estrogen-pumping fare as Lisa Stansfield's "All Around the World" and Odyssey's "Native New Yorker", as well as Lily Allen's "LDN". But "Stuck Between Stations"? Really? A song about boys and girls in America "sucking off each other at the demonstrations?" I mean, I can understand if you're doing a film about drunk teenagers in a convenience store parking lot in suburban Minneapolis. Or a film about middle-aged rock critics who gather in a bar in Brooklyn to reminisce about when they were drunk teenagers in a convenience store parking lot in suburban Minneapolis. Then a Hold Steady song would make sense. But a Scarlett Johansson date movie?!

Whatever, it's cool. Craig Finn, get that paper!
