Even with hilariously bad movies like “The Expendables” blowing away “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” at the box office, they can’t touch it’s music. Long after these movies are gone from the screen and people have stopped marveling at hulking geriatrics, iPods will still be playing the “Scott Pilgrim” soundtrack. I admit to contributing to the initial ticket sale discrepancy — for me the toss up boiled down to the tag lines “Choose your weapon,” or “An epic of epic epicness” and I just couldn’t swallow the latter at the last minute.
But here’s some love for “Scott Pilgrim” from Metric’s Emily Haines who, wearing sunglasses that look like candy, talks briefly about how director Edgar Wright invited her band to help facilitate his vision after they finished their album, “Fantasies,” and about getting to work with Radiohead’s producer Nigel Godrich. The soundtrack is out now on ABKCO.
