YLT, B&S;, Kimya Dawson on Second Juno Soundtrack
Though the movie only converted one of its four Oscar nominations into a win, we should have known better than to assume that would stop the Juno juggernaut. The twee-beast's newest tentacle is a second soundtrack of sorts, this one featuring tracks from Yo La Tengo, Belle & Sebastian, Kimya Dawson, Astrud Gilberto, Buddy Holly, and the movie's star, Ellen Page, playing a song written by Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody.
Titled Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs, the Rhino release is a digital-only compilation of songs intended for but not used in the movie. Director Jason Reitman assembled the compilation, which will debut with an iTunes-exclusive release on April 8 before making its way to other digital retailers on May 13.
Juno fans can also look forward to the movie's DVD release on April 15.
Juno B-Sides won't be this year's only showcase for new Kimya Dawson tunes, by the way. According to a Billboard.com report, the cutesy songwriter has written an album of children's songs she hopes to release in August called... Alphabutt. Get it? Because it's for kids, who need to learn the alphabet but also really like to talk about butts! Dawson's collaborators on, um, Alphabutt include former Third Eye Blind guitarist Kevin Cadogan, as well as some of her friends and their children. If you're hungry for song titles, here's your feast: "The Alphabutt Song", "Seven Hungry Tigers", "Little Monster Babies", "Wiggle My Tooth", and "Pee Pee in the Potty." Really.
In much cooler Kimya kid news, she's also in the very beginning stages of working with the producers of "Sesame Street" on music for the show and her own potential appearance on it. Additionally, she contributed a song called "Anthrax" to the soundtrack for Body of War, a documentary about a young veteran of the war in Iraq.
Finally, Dawson still has a heap of previously reported shows to play.
